During a building fire, smoke can flow through elevator shafts threatening life on floors remote from the fire. Many buildings have pressurized elevators intended to prevent such smoke flow. The computer program, CONTAM, can be used to analyze the performance of pressurization smoke control systems. The design of pressurized elevators can be challenging for the following reasons: (1) often the building envelope is not capable of effectively handling the large airflow resulting from elevator pressurization, (2) open elevator doors on the ground floor tend to increase the flow from the elevator shaft at the ground floor, and (3) open exterior doors on the ground floor can cause excessive pressure differences across the elevator shaft at the ground floor. To meet these challenges, the following systems have been developed: (1) exterior vent (EV) system, (2) floor exhaust (FE) system, and ground floor lobby (GFL) system.

최근 초고층 건축물에서 화재로 인해 많은 인명피해가 발생하고 있다. 특히, 화재 발생시 생성되는 유독성 가스 및 연기로 인해 많은 사망자가 발생하고 있다. 이러한 인명피해를 줄이기 위한 방안으로 제연시스템이 도입되어 있다. 제연시스템은 초고층 건축물에서 연기의 확산을 방지하고 재실자의 안전한 피난을 도와주는 장치이다. 또한, 엘리베이터를 이용한 피난은 초고층 건축물에서 필수적인 피난 방법으로 여겨진다. 하지만, 엘리베이터 구동시 생성되는 강력한 압력장 및 유동변화로 인해 제연시스템의 성능확보에 영향을 미친다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 성능설계위주의 샌드위치 가압방식이 적용된 초고층 건축물에서 엘리베이터 구동에 따른 제연성능 확보에 미치는 영향을 실험 및 수치해석 연구로 수행하였다. 실제 초고층 건축물에서 발생되는 창문, 방화문 그리고 엘리베이터의 누설면적은 화재안전기준 및 면적비를 이용하여 산출하였다. 실제 엘리베이터 속도 7 m/s~17 m/s에 해당하는 20 m/s~100 m/s로 동역학적 상사를 통해 엘리베이터 속도를 변경하였다. 그 결과 엘리베이터 속도가 빠르면 빠를수록 부속실과 화재실 간 차압이 크게 발생하였으며 관계식은 ${\Delta}P=40{\cdot}{\exp}$(-Ves /-104.7)-23.735로 산출되었다. 본 연구 결과는 초고층 건축물에서 엘리베이터 구동을 고려한 제연시스템 설계 자료로 활용이 가능하다.

In the past two decades, researchers from different countries have conducted series of experimental and theoretical studies to investigate the behaviour of structures in fire. Many new insights, data and calculation methods have been reported, which form the basis for modern interdisciplinary structural fire engineering. Some of those methods are now adopted in quantitative performance-based codes and have been migrated into practice. Mainly based on the achievements in structural fire research at China, the Chinese national code for fire safety of steel structures in buildings has been drafted and approved, and will be released in this year. The code is developed to prevent steel structures subjected to fire from collapsing, ensure safe evacuation of building occupants, and reduce the cost for repairing the damages of the structure caused by fire. This paper presents the main contents of the code, which includes the fire duration requirements of structural components, fundamental requirements on fire safety design of steel components, temperature increasing of atmosphere and structural components in fire, loading effect and capacity of various components in fire, and procedure for fire-resistant check and design of steel components. The analytical approaches employed in the code and their validation works are also presented.

Concrete structures may rarely collapse in fire incidents but fire induced damage to structural members is inevitable as a result of material degradation and thermal expansion. This requires certain repairing measures to be applied to restore the performance of post-fire members. A brief review on investigation of post-fire damage of concrete material and concrete structural members is presented in this paper, followed by a review of post-fire repair research regarding various types of repairing techniques (FRP, steel plate, and concrete section enlargement) and different type of structural members including columns, beams, and slabs. Particularly, the fire scenarios adopted in these studies leading to damage are categorized as three levels according to the duration of gas-phase temperature above 600℃ (t₆₀₀). The repair effectiveness in terms of recovered performance of concrete structural members compared to the initial undamaged performance has been summarized and compared regarding the repairing techniques and fire intensity levels. The complied results have shown that recovering the ultimate strength is achievable but the stiffness recovery is difficult. Moreover, the current fire loading scenarios adopted in the post-fire repair research are mostly idealized as constant heating rates or standard fire curves, which may have produced unrealistic fire damage patterns and the associated repairing techniques may be not practical. For future studies, the realistic fire impact and the system-level structural damage investigation are necessary.

고강도콘크리트 부재 표면에 내화모르타르를 피복하여 화재시 콘크리트 표층부의 온도상승을 저감시킴으로서 내부 철근온도 상승을 억제한다. 본 논문은 간이내화시험을 통하여 시멘트 및 석고계 내화모르타르 피복 고강도콘크리트의 내부철근 온도상승을 검토하기 위한 것이다. 그 결과 석고계 내화모르타르가 시멘트계 내화모르타르보다 고강도콘크리트의 내부철근 온도상승을 저감시키는데 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며 내화모르타르 피복두께가 작을수록 시멘트계 내화모르타르와의 내부 철근 온도차이가 증가하였다. 또한 ${\alpha}$형 반수석고와 ${\beta}$형 반수석고 종류에 따른 내화모르타르의 온도상승 저감효과의 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났지만, ${\alpha}$형 반수석고 내화모르타르의 압축강도가 ${\beta}$형 반수석고 내화모르타르보다 높게 나타났다.

This paper reviews the recent developments in fire engineering and the design approaches which are being used in the UK, compared with traditional prescriptive solutions. The research background which has underpinned this is briefly summarised, and the benefits of these more advanced methods are discussed. The focus is on structural fire engineering, but some consideration of modelling fires is also included. Some of the more commonly used design tools are discussed, together with the relative benefits they offer. The use of these more advanced approaches is then outlined in the context of which building types might be most suitable, and a number of case studies are included to illustrate this. Likely future developments are also discussed.

As engineered timber such as Glulam is seeing increasing use in tall timber buildings, building codes are adapting to allow for this. In order for this material to be used confidently and safely in one of these applications, there is a need to understand the effects that fire can have on an engineered timber structural member. The post-fire resilience aspect of glulam is studied herein. Two sets of experiments are performed to consider the validity of zero strength guidance with respect to short duration fire exposure on thin glulam members. Small scale samples were heated in a cone calorimeter to different fire severities. These samples illustrated significant strength loss but high variability despite controlled quantification of char layers. Large scale samples were heated locally using a controlled fuel fire in shear and moment locations along the length of the beam respectively. Additionally, reduced cross section samples were created by mechanically carving a way an area of cross section equal to the area lost to char on the heated beams. All of the samples were then loaded to failure in four-point (laterally restrained) bending tests. The beams that have been burnt in the shear region were observed as having a reduction in strength of up to 34.5% from the control beams. These test samples displayed relatively little variability, apart from beams that displayed material defects. The suite of testing indicated that zero strength guidance may be under conservative and may require increasing from 7 mm up to as much as 23 mm.

This paper presents a review on progressive collapse mechanism of steel framed buildings exposed to fire. The influence of load ratios, strength of structural members (beam, column, slab, connection), fire scenarios, bracing systems, fire protections on the collapse mode and collapse time of structures is comprehensively reviewed. It is found that the key influencing factors include load ratio, fire scenario, bracing layout and fire protection. The application of strong beams, high load ratios, multi-compartment fires will lead to global downward collapse which is undesirable. The catenary action in beams and tensile membrane action in slabs contribute to the enhancement of structural collapse resistance, leading to a ductile collapse mechanism. It is recommended to increase the reinforcement ratio in the sagging and hogging region of slabs to not only enhance the tensile membrane action in the slab, but to prevent the failure of beam-to-column connections. It is also found that a frame may collapse in the cooling phase of compartment fires or under travelling fires. This is because that the steel members may experience maximum temperatures and maximum displacements under these two fire scenarios. An edge bay fire is more prone to induce the collapse of structures than a central bay fire. The progressive collapse of buildings can be effectively prevented by using bracing systems and fire protections. A combination of horizontal and vertical bracing systems as well as increasing the strength and stiffness of bracing members is recommended to enhance the collapse resistance. A protected frame dose not collapse immediately after the local failure but experiences a relatively long withstanding period of at least 60 mins. It is suggested to use three-dimensional models for accurate predictions of whether, when and how a structure collapses under various fire scenarios.

도시 인구의 과밀화로 고층 건물에 대한 폭발적인 수요와 공급이 발생하였다. 고층 빌딩은 각 도시의 구심점으로 도시 이미지를 제고하는데 기여하고 있으나 연돌효과로 인해 승강기 문의 오작동, 외벽의 문과 창문 개폐의 어려움, 상층부로 확산하는 연기와 악취, 소음, 에너지 손실, 화재 및 오염물질의 급속한 확산 등 예기치 못한 다양한 문제를 야기하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초고층 건축물을 수직조닝별로 구분하여 연돌효과의 원인과 해결방안을 분석하고 설계와 시공 방안으로 도출하였다. 외기를 차단하는 초기 계획과 정밀한 시공을 통한 기밀성 확보를 통해 저층부에서 유입되는 기류를 능동적으로 차단하여 건물의 내·외부 기밀성을 확보하는 방안을 모색하였다. 설비적 해결대책은 연돌효과로 인한 특정 현상을 줄이기 위한 대책이 될 수 있으나 이에 따른 2차 피해의 가능성이 높기 때문에 최소한으로 적용해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 연돌효과의 원인과 대책방안을 수직 조닝별로 설계적, 시공적 대책을 제시함으로써 체계적인 연돌효과 관리의 필요성을 역설하였다. 또한 본 연구가 설계 및 시공뿐만 아니라 건물 유지관리에도 도움이 되기를 기대한다.
