In this study, comparative analysis on the back-layer phenomena in the tunnel-fire driven flow is performed using numerical simulation with LES and RANS. FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator) code is employed to calculate the fire-driven turbulent flow for LES and Smartfire code is used for RANS. Hwang and Wargo's data of scaling tunnel fire experiment are employed to compare with the present numerical simulation. The modeled tunnel is 5.4m(L) ${\times}$ 0.4m(W) ${\times}$ 0.3m(H). Heat Release Rate (HRR) of fire is 3.3kW and ventilation-velocity is 0.33m/s in the main stream. The various grid-distributions are systematically tested with FDS code to analyze the effects of grid size. The LES method with FDS provides an improved back-layer flow behavior in comparison with the RANS (${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$) method by Smartfire. The FDS solvers, however, overpredict the velocity in the center region of flow which is caused by the defects in the tunnel-entrance turbulence strength and in the near-wall turbulent flow in FDS code.

In this study, the effects of vent location, outside temperature, wind velocity and fire size on the performance of natural venting of the vertical vent designed according to NFPA 204 standard and fire characteristics were numerically investigated using CFAST. In cases of the Vent located on most upper wall, lower outside temperature and lower wind velocity, vents met the performance criteria of venting. The larger fire size becomes, the more mass flow rate through a vent becomes, but the lower interface height of smoke layer becomes, so that vent didn't meet the performance criteria of venting. It should be noted that a natural vertical vent be designed considering maximum outside temperature and maximum wind velocity and developing a design fire accurately in order to meet the performance criteria of venting.

A study developing the dry powder fire extinguishing system inside the simulated machinery spaces of small ship was performed. Fire tests were conducted inside the compartments having volume $8m^3,\;4.5m^3\;and\;2.9m^3$ respectively. The openings and fans were established on the walls of the compartments. Diesel oil was used for the test fuel. In addition fire extinguishing nozzles using dry powder were installed downward at ceiling and horizontally at the wall or conner. All fires in the test were extinguished under system activation and there was no reignition.

최근 건축물의 초고층화에 따른 커튼월 시공에 따라 유리의 비중이 증가하고 있으나 커튼월 구조는 바람, 지진, 화재에 있어서 취약할 것이라 판단되어 국내외 건축용 유리 및 커튼월의 안전기준에 대한 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 국내의 유리 기준은 단열 및 내풍압 성능에만 집중되어있으며 화재 및 지진, 안전 성능에 대한 기준이 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 국내에 적합한 유리 안전성 평가 프로세스를 구축하기 위한 기초 데이터를 마련하기 위해 유리 내화 실험을 시행하였다. 실험 결과, 일반유리, 복층유리, 강화유리, 접합유리 순의 파열 시간을 가지는 것을 알 수 있었으나 시험체 4개가 화재 초기에 파열되는 것으로 나타나 상층부로의 수직 화재 확대 위험성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

화재시뮬레이션용 소프트웨어인 FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator)의 수직벽 화재 시뮬레이션에 있어서의 문제점을 파악하기 위해, 수직벽 프로필렌 화재에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 성능기반설계 등에 널리 사용되고 있는 이 전산유체역학 모델에 포함되어있는 주요 매개변수의 기본값을 사용한 경우, 수직벽 화재에서는 정확도가 매우 낮음을 확인하였다. 프로필렌 연소율 $10.08g/m^2$-s과 $29.29g/m^2$-s에 대한 주요 매개변수의 조사를 수행한 결과, 스마고린스키 상수(Smagorinsky constant)가 기본값인 0.2에서 수직벽에 형성된 경계층이 층류로 예측되었다. 스마고린스키 상수가 0.1일 때 온도분포가 실험과 비교적 잘 일치하였으나 벽면에서의 열유속에는 큰 오차가 있음을 확인하였다.

Due to the big fire in Uijeongbu, the status of construction, fireproof materials and structural method were examined to prevent fire propagation through outside insulation parts of urban living homes. Through research and experiments, the following results were obtained. It was confirmed that outside heat-insulation wall method was used in a large number of urban living homes which were made of materials and structures spreading fire easily.Through experiments, it was revealed that lightweight plate material, as a fireproof material, can save the cost as well as the period of construction and obtain more than 30 minutes of evacuation time which is twice the maximum evacuation time.

Old architectural wood materials damaged by a fire were evaluated on the basis of wood species and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation of wood tissues in combination with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) analysis. Results of SEM observation showed that tracheid wall thickness of burned parts was very thin compared with undamaged and sound wood, and tylosoid in the resin canals disappeared after the exposure to fire. SEM-EDXS analysis indicated that carbon and oxygen peaks occurred in the original energy band, and the carbon peak was higher than that of the oxygen in the burned part. A computerized tomography was also undertaken to investigate the carbonization layer formed by fire and possible internal defects.

고층 건축물에 주로 사용되는 커튼월의 경우 구조체와의 접합으로 인해 층간 틈새가 발생하게 되고 이는 화재 시 틈새를 통해 화염이나 연기 등의 확산 경로가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 커튼월 시스템에 적용되는 선형조인트 내화충전시스템의 개발을 위해 경제적이고 시공이 간편한 박스형 시스템을 도입하고 내부에 다양한 변경하여 내화성능을 평가하였으며, 그 결과 케이싱 내부의 단열재 20mm두께의 내화 뿜칠재와 석고보드를 케이싱 안쪽에 박스 형태로 구성한 시스템이 가장 안정적이고 온도상승도 작은 것으로 나타났다.
