전 세계적으로 대표적인 대중교통으로 천연가스버스가 운행 중에 있으며, 천연가스의 저장을 위하여 대부분의 차량이 복합용기를 사용하고 있다. 또한 친환경자동차로 개발되고 있는 수소연료전지자동차도 수소 저장용으로 복합용기를 적용하여 상용화를 추진 중에 있다. 복합용기의 상용화가 증가하면서 복합용기의 안전성 확보가 가장 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 기체상태의 고압가스를 교통수단에 적용하기 위하여, 저장매체인 고압복합용기의 안전성 및 기술 확보를 위한 기술개발과 안전기준의 확립을 위한 기준개발이 미국, 유럽, 일본 등 다수의 국가에서 진행되고 있다. 현재 복합용기의 안전성을 확인하는 기준은 각 나라의 기준에 따라 진행되고 있으며 천연가스자동차용 저장용기 국제표준으로는 ISO 11439가 적용되고 있다. 수소연료전지자동차용 수소용기의 안전기준은 아직 확립되지 않은 상태이며, 개발된 초안으로는 국제규정으로 UN ECE R No.79 및 국제기술표준으로 ISO/TS 15869가 있다. 개발 중인 국제기준 및 국내기준에서 가장 취약한 부분이 화염시험이다. 화염시험은 자동차에 화재가 발생했을 경우 용기의 폭발을 막기 위하여 안전밸브가 정상적으로 작동하는 지를 확인하는 시험이다. 하지만 현재의 시험방법으로는 자동차에서 발생하는 국부적인 화염에 대한 안전성을 확인하기가 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 국내의 화염시험기준을 개발하기 위해 수행된 화염시험에 대한 결과와 화염시험장치를 제안하고자 한다.

Recently, people's interest in marine leisure has been increasing, and research and development on leisure boats are actively being carried out to pioneer overseas markets. These days, the materials used for leisure boats are fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) and aluminum alloy. However, FRP is hygroscopic and causes environmental problems, and aluminum alloy has high thermal conductivity and fire susceptibility. Therefore, titanium alloy is being adopted as a material for leisure boats instead. In this study, hull thicknesses and design pressures were calculated while considering dynamic effects for titanium boats. Four sets of rules and regulations were used: ISO 12215-5, RINA Pleasure Yacht, LR Special Service Craft, and KR High-speed Light Craft. The maximum bottom slamming loads were in the order of ISO, KR, LR, and RINA, and the required hull thicknesses were in the same order. This research might be helpful for understanding the rules, regulations, and overseas export of leisure boats.

The modular beam made of steel material is wholly responsible for the load stress of the structure, therefore securing the fire-resistant capacity of the steel beam is absolutely important. The economic efficiency achieved by minimizing the thickness of the fire-resistant board attached, is also essential at the same time. Accordingly, a study of optimization of the thickness and interval of fire-resistant boards shall be conducted side by side. Therefore, in this study we have anticipated fire-resistant capacity by using a general-purpose S/W for finite elements, ABAQUS(6.7.1), in order to propose the configurable conditions that can secure the optimal fire-resisting capacity of modular beam. As a result of this analysis, it was impossible to secure the fire-resistance capacity when directly attaching fire-resistant board(30mm) on the modular board in accordance with KS F 2257-1, and the fire-resistant boards were manufactured in shape of module in consideration of its installation interval rather than direct application.

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of change in heat release rate on unsteady fire characteristics of under-ventilated fire in a semi-closed compartment. A standard doorway width of the full-scale ISO 9705 room was modified to 0.1 m and the flow rate of heptane fuel was increased linearly with time using a spray nozzle located at the center of enclosure. Temperature, heat flux, species concentrations and heat release rate were continuously measured and then global equivalence ratio (GER) concept was adopted to represent the unsteady thermal and chemical characteristics inside the compartment. It was observed that there was a significant difference in unsteady behavior between global and local combustion efficiency, and the GERs predicted by ideal and measured heat release rate were also shown different results in time. The unsteady behaviors of temperature, heat flux and species concentrations were represented well using the GER concept. It was important to note that CO concentration was gradually decreased with the increase in GER after reaching its maximum value in the range of 2.0~3.0 of global equivalence ratio. In addition, the experimental data on unsteady thermal and chemical behaviors obtained in a semi-closed compartment will be usefully used to validate a realistic fire simulation.

The study presents a standard time-temperature curve to evaluate the fire performance of subway tunnel structures. The central subway section is 135km long in Korea, the fourth longest in the world. The number of subway tunnels has been increasing rapidly and fire risk is proportional to the tunnel length. However, an adequate time-temperature curve for subway tunnel fires does not exist. Therefore, we studied a proposed foreign fire design model for which the heat rate is based on the traffic, and we present an appropriate time-temperature curve for Korean subway tunnels. The ISO 834 curve was used as a fire design model and the temperature distribution in the tunnel was estimated using numerical analysis. This led to a proposal for effective measures against subway tunnel fires.

The ventilation system of the engine room of a ship is generally installed to supply the combustion air necessary for the internal combustion engine and to remove the heat source generated in the engine room, and it must satisfy the international standard (ISO 8861) for the design conditions and calculation standards for the ventilation of the ship engine room. The response delay of the ventilation system including the fire detector is affected by the airflow formed inside the area and the location of the fire detector. In this study, to improve the initial fire detection response speed of a fire detector installed on a fishing vessel and to maintain the sensitivity of the installed detector, the smoke behavior was simulated using the air flow field inside the engine room, the amount of combustion air in the internal combustion engine, and the internal pressure of the engine room as variables. Analysis of the simulation results showed that reducing the flow rate in the air flow field and increasing the vortex by reducing the internal pressure of the engine room and installing a smoke curtain would accelerate the rise of the ceiling of the smoke component and improve the smoke detector response speed and ventilation system.

Experiments on the combustion characteristics of untreated wood specimens and those treated with four types of silicone compounds were carried out using a cone calorimeter according to the ISO 5660-1 standard. 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS), 3-(2-aminoethylamino) propylmethyldimethoxysilane (AEAPMDMS), and 3-(2-aminoethylamino) propyltrimethoxysilane (AEAPTMS) were used as the silane compounds. The flame retardants were synthesized with sodium silicate and amino silane compounds. The measured time to ignition after combustion at an external heat flux of $50kW/m^2$ was 9 s to 11 s. Time to ignition was marked with a delayed value in the 3 s to 5 s range. The peak heat release rate ($HRR_{peak}$) was reduced by 5 to 20% compared with the uncoated specimen, and AEAPMDMS showed the highest initial fire risk. The total heat release (THR) was decreased by 1 to 22%. Compared to the untreated specimen, the fire performance index (FPI) of the specimens coated with silicone sol compounds increased by 1.5 to 2.2 fold. The fire growth index (FGI) of the AEAPMDMS specimen was increased by 30% and the others were decreased by 93 to 94%. Therefore, the fire risk of wood coated with silicone compounds was improved in terms of the heat risk properties.

This study presents experimental investigation on the residual capacity of fire-damaged voided slabs according to loading conditions. In this study, two voided slab specimens were fabricated, and heated by ISO standard fire during 120 minutes with different loading conditions of presence of loading. These specimens were cooled down to room temperature, and the residual capacity of fire-damaged voided slabs was investigated. Based on test results, thermal distribution of voided slab through the depth of concrete sections is different by the loading conditions. The temperature of loaded specimen is rapidly elevated through the whole depth of concrete sections compared to the unloaded specimen. The residual strength of fire-damaged voided slab specimens are 60% and 66% of that of voided slab specimen without fire damage, and the residual stiffness of fire-damaged voided slab specimens decreases by 15%~23% of that of voided slab specimen without fire damage. In case of voided slab specimens subjected ISO standard fire, the loaded specimen shows the decrease of 10% in the residual strength and the decrease of 15% in the residual stiffness compared to the unloaded specimen. It seems to result from higher temperature of bottom reinforcements in the loaded specimen due to the cracks, and more extensive damage on concrete cover of reinforcements by spalling process according to load level.

재난은 인류의 발전과 더불어 다양하게 발생되어왔다. 최근 21세기 들어 발생하는 재난은 그 현상이 더욱 다양하고 복잡하며 그 피해의 정도가 대규모로 진행되는 경우가 많아 졌다. 태풍, 집중호우, 강풍, 폭설, 지진, 황사 등의 자연재난은 지구온난화현상으로 국내뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 커다란 영향력을 미치고 있으며, 화재, 구축물의 붕괴, 지하철사고, 테러 및 감염병 등의 사회 재난도 더욱더 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 나아가 사스, 메르스, 지카 바이러스 및 대형 테러 등 전 세계적 차원의 사회 재난의 발생 또한 급증하고 있다. 이와 같이 현대사회에서 발생하는 재난는 개인이나 국가의 정책만으로 예방하고 관리할 수 없는 특성이 있다. 따라서, 자본주의 경제의 한축을 이루고 있는 기업의 재난을 관리하여 연속성을 확보하고 더나아가 리질리언스(Resilence)를 보장하기 위한 일환으로 2007년 7월 재해경감을 위한 기업의 자율 활동 지원에 관한 법률(이하, 기업재해경감법 이라함.)이 공포된 지 약 10여년이 경과하였다. 이는 법 제도화를 통하여 기업의 재해경감활동을 지원하기 취지에서 출발한 것 이다. 그 후 현재 까지 어느 정도의 발전이 있었지만 경과 년 수에 비해 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 이후 그 기업들이 좀 더 원활하게 재해경감활동을 위한 계획을 수립, 실행, 검토 및 유지하기 위한 지침으로서 기업재난관리표준을 2010년 4월 2일 제정하였고 이후 재해경감활동 수립계획을 제정하여 시행하기에 이르렀다. 또한, 기업재난관리표준은 제정된 이후 2013년 12월 9일 전면 개정작업을 통해 경영관리 프로세스 모델(Plan-Do-Check-Act)이 적용된 관리체계를 접목시키고 용어정의를 국제표준과 일치시켜 기업재해경감활동 상의 혼선을 방지하기 위한 노력을 하였다. 현 정부에서는 주무부처가 바뀌고 조직이 변화되어 행정안전부고시 제2017-1호(2017.07.26.일)로 개정되어 현재에 이르고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기업재난관리표준과 연관된 제반 법령 및 규정 등에 대한 법적성격 과 지위를 규명하고, 기업재난관리표준의 관련분야 적용 시 문제점 및 바람직한 제도개선 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

Strain properties of concrete member which acts as an important factor in the stability of the concrete structure in the event of fire, significantly affected the characteristics of the coarse aggregate, which accounts for most of the volume. For this reason, there are many studies on concrete using artificial lightweight aggregate which has smaller thermal expansion deformation than granite coarse aggregate. But the research is mostly limited on concrete using clay-based lightweight aggregate. Therefore, in this study, the high temperature compressive strength and elastic modulus, thermal strain and total strain, high temperature creep strain of concrete was evaluated. As a result, remaining rate of high-temperature strength of concrete using lightweight aggregate is higher than concrete with general aggregate and it is determined to be advantageous in terms of structural safety and ensuring high-temperature strength from the result of the total strain by loading and strain of thermal expansion. In addition, in the case of high-temperature creep, concrete shrinkage is increased by rising loading and temperature regardless of the type of aggregate, and concrete using lightweight aggregate shows bigger shrinkage than concrete with a granite-based aggregate. From this result, it is determined to require additional consideration on a high temperature creep strain in case of maintaining high temperature like as duration of a fire although concrete using light weight aggregate is an advantage in reducing the thermal expansion strain of the fire.
