건축물 구획공간에 따른 화재성상 및 열방출율을 측정하기 위하여 실물규모 침대 매트리스의 표준화재시험방법(KS F ISO 12949 : 2011)으로 화재시험을 수행하였다. 개방형공간과 구획공간 모두 버너착화 후 초기 약 3분까지는 유사한 화재성장의 경향을 보이는 것으로 확인되었다. 3분후 구획공간에서의 열방출율이 개방형 공간보다 증가되어 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 침대 매트리스(SS)의 경우, 개방형 공간에서의 최대열방출율은 735 kW이며, 구획공간에서의 최대열방출율은 992 kW 로 측정되었다. 침대 매트리스(Q)의 경우 3분후 구획공간에서의 열방출율이 개방형 공간보다 급격하게 증가되는 것으로 확인되었다. 개방형 공간에서의 최대열방출율은 1,087 kW, 이 때의 측정시간은 346s 이며, 구획공간에서의 최대열방출율은 2,127 kW, 이때의 측정시간은 287 s 측정되어 구획공간에 따른 최대열방출율 및 측정시간의 차이가 확인되었다.

화재시험에 있어서 정확한 발열량의 측정은 시험체의 화재 안정성을 결정하기 위한 중요한 정보이다. 발열량 측정값은 측정 인자들의 오차에 기인하여 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 한국철도기술연구원에 설치된 룸코너 시험기에 대한 불확도의 인자를 분석하였고 이를 이용하여 KTX 내장재 화재시험의 발열량 측정 불확도를 계산하였다. 화재 발열량 불확도 계산 결과, 화재시작단계에서 불확도가 매우 높은 값으로 나타났고 화재가 성장하면서 불확도는 점차적으로 감소하였다. 불확도 인자들 중 산소 농도가 발열량 측정 불확도에 가장 크게 기여하는 것으로 나타냈다.

The rate of heat release is probably the single most important measure of fire hazard. Several tech-niques were developed for the measurement of rate of heat release, but were not suitable for fire test-ing purpose. Recently the application of oxygen consumption principle made it possible to development of well-characterized heat release rate measurement apparatus, the furniture calorimeter for large-scale fire tests and the cone calorimeter for bench-scale fire tests. The cone calorimeter can be used to determine the ignitability as well as heat release rate and smoke development, mass loss rate, combustion gas production etc. from burning materials. Thus, test method using cone calorimeter, an internationally recognized and accepted for the evalua-tion of fire properties, is a very promising tool for combustion study on various kind of materials and products.

Chemical behaviors of each surface material for interior facilities affect to fire initiation and growth in general fire situation. These chemical behaviors were characterized by thermal properties (Heat release rate, Pyrolysis rate, specific heat, etc) which could be derived from experimental test. Especially, Heat release rate which indicates aspect of fire size is one of the most important property to asses fire hazard and protection needs. The cone calorimeter test (ISO 5660) has recently assumed to a dominant role in bench scale fire testing to obtain the Heat release rate of materials. This value could be calculated by the 'Oxygen Consumption Method' under various producing irradiances to each surface of materials. In this study, Process of the cone calorimeter test was simulated by Pyrolysis model of FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator by NIST) base on the ISO 5660 international standard. Then, we could estimate the simulation method of FDS in case of single materials through the comparative study with test results.

Not only mechanical properties, bonding properties, electro chemical properties, etc. but also fire safety is required in patch repair materials such as polymer modified cement mortar (PCM) which are used to deteriorated reinforced concrete structure. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to choice the appropriate repair materials because there are not enough information about fire safety properties of PCM. In this study, The combustion characters of PCM were evaluated through the heat release rate test and non-combustibility test. The pyrogenicity test uses the cone calorimeter based on the oxygen consumption method. The non-combustibility test is from the temperature change inside the furnace during the test. The effect of the types of polymer and polymer content were evaluated from the series of test. The results are like followings. 1) The higher the W/C of PCM, the lower the gross calorific value and heat generation rate in the heat release rate test. The amount of heat generation of PCM is like the order of VVA, EVA, and SBR in this study. 2) Some materials such as E45-100, E50-100, E60-100, S50-50, and S50-100 were estimated as not appropriate building materials in the non combustibility test.

Research to discuss the fire performance of materials requires tools for measuring their burning characteristics and validated fire growth models to predict fire behavior of the materials under specific tire scenarios using the measured properties as input for the models. In this study, burning characteristics such as time to ignition, weight loss rate, flame spread, heat release rate, total heat evolved, and effective heat of combustion for four types of wood-based materials were evaluated using the cone calorimeter and inclined panel tests. Time to ignition was affected by not only surface condition and specific gravity of the tested materials but also the type and magnitude of heat source. Results of weight loss rate, measured by inclined panel tests, indicated that heat transfer from the contacted flame used as the heat source into the inner part of the specimen was inversely proportional to specific gravity of material. Flame spread was closely related with ignition time at the near part of burning zone. Under constant and severe external heat flux, there was little difference in weight loss rate and total heat evolved between four types of wood-based panels. More applied heat flux caused by longer ignition time induced a higher first peak value of heat release rate. Burning characteristics data measured in this study can be used effectively as input for fire growth models to predict the fire behavior of materials under specific fire scenarios.

In this study, the composite material of expandable graphite was made to the material development for improving such as a composite material of the sandwich panels or material properties of a fire door and was tested by the ISO 1182, ISO 5660-1(Cone calorimeter Method). For the test, the composite material of expandable graphite, what the expandable graphite ratio was increased by respectively 0g~30g, was classified A1,A2, A3, A4, and made to the test specimens. Through cone calorimeter test, peak heat release rate(HRR) and total heat release(THR), expanded thickness and expansion rate of each composite material of expandable graphite, and fire prone crack and mass loss rate after burning was measured. Thus, the effect of the addition of the expandable graphite and whether is suitable for reference as a fire retardant, was analyzed. Consequently the correlation of THR and fire retardant performance rate was confirmed.

In this study, combustion and smoke release characteristics of a non-class 1E cable for nuclear power plants were investigated according to aging period. The aging was reproduced through an accelerated aging method for interval of 10 years :10, 20, 30 and 40 year, which was applied the Arrhenius equation. The cable was subjected to accelerated aging. In order to understand combustion and smoke release characteristics, the cone calorimeter test was performed according to the standard code of KS F ISO 5660-1. Heat release rate, mass loss rate, average rate of heat emission and smoke production rate were examined through cone calorimeter test. Fire performance index, fire growth index and smoke factor were derived from test results for the comparison of quantitative fire risk. When comparing the fire performance index and the fire growth index, the early fire risk tends to decrease as aging progresses, which might be attributed from the fact that the volatile substances of cables were evaporated. However, when comparing the heat release rate, average rate of heat emission and mass loss rate, which represent the mid and late periods of the fire risk, the values of accelerated aging cables were much higher than those of non-aged cable, which signifies the unstable formation of the char layer resulted in the change in the performance of flame retardants. In addition, the results from the smoke characteristics show that the accelerated aging cables were lager than the non-aged cables in terms of overall fire risk. These results can be used as baseline data when assessing fire risk of cables and establishing fire safety code for nuclear power plants.

최근 화재와 관련된 연구가 활발해지면서 축소모형실험 등을 통한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 실물화재 실험과의 직접적인 상관관계를 설명하기에는 충분하지 못하기 때문에 실물화재에 대한 관심이 증가되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산소소모율법을 적용한 10 MW급 라지스케일로리미터를 개발하였으며, 헵탄 풀 화재를 이용한 발열량 보정을 수행하였다. 그 결과 신뢰성 높은 보정결과를 얻었으며, 보다 진보적인 실물화재연구에 적용할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
