Nowadays in Korea, KS F 2271(Testing method for incombustibility of internal finish material and element of buildings) has been using for the evaluation of fire safety performance of sandwich panels. The test method in Japan and in Korea was based on the same way. When the Japanese standard building code was revised in 2000, the test method in the ISO 5660-1 was adopted for the test method for combustion performance of internal finishing materials and elements of buildings. According to this, the revision version of draft substituting the test method in the KS F 2271 for one in the ISO 5660-1(Cone Calorimeter method) is informed in Korea. In this study, combustion properties of sandwich panels were tested using the cone calorimeter method. Ignition time, peak heat release rate and total heat released of four sandwich panels and four core materials (thermal insulation material), which are widely used in Korea, were tested. Test results were analyzed for each specimen. Finally, test results were classified by Japanese standard building code and Canadian NBC revised.

This study is aiming at analyzing correlation between flashover's time and maximum smoke production rate's time on sandwich panel specimens. For this analysis, KS F ISO 137481-1 has been performed for 23 kinds of sandwich panels which mainly consist of EPS, PIR, PUR, Glass wool and so on. KS F ISO 13784-1 represents real scale reaction-to-fire test and focuses on measuring flashover phenomenon rather than other tests as like ISO 5660-1 and SBI.

In order to investigate the influence of changes in the thermal properties of solid combustibles on thermal decomposition, a series of solid pyrolysis experiments were performed using a cone calorimeter specified in KS F ISO 5660-1. In the present study, Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) which does not produce Char during pyrolysis process was used as solid fuel. Results obtained from cone calorimeter experiments were compared to ones obtained from numerical analysis of Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) 1D pyrolysis model adopted with thermal properties of solid fuel as input parameters. Comparisons between experimentally calculated and model-predicted mass loss rate were then made to elucidate the effect of changes in the thermal properties on pyrolysis of PMMA.

This paper studied combustion characteristics of the sponge type sound-absorbing materials extensively used on building interior. To estimate of the combustion characteristics, we carried out combustion experiment of general type and incombustibility type sound-absorbing materials. And then to evaluate the suitability of the sponge type sound-absorbing materials, we measured heat release rate (HRR) and smoke density (Ds) of the sound-absorbing materials using by a cone-calorimeter. From the combustion experimental results, general type sound-absorbing materials were rapid burned simultaneously with ignition and the incombustibility type sound-absorbing materials had all gone out simultaneously with ignition. Measured results of HRR and Ds were not satisfied KS F ISO 5660-1 and IMO FTP Code, form the results, the sponge type sound-absorbing materials were ill-suited for using building interior.

본 연구에서는 EN 13823 기준을 적용한 시험방법인 SBI(Single Burning Item)을 이용하여 스티로폼 샌드위치패널의 화재특성에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 현재 국내에서는 샌드위치패널 화재특성 평가방법으로 ISO 5660-1(콘칼로리미터 시험방법)과 KS F 2271(난연성시험)이 사용되고 있지만 이러한 시험방법들은 시험 스케일과 시험편 및 가열조건의 한계점 등을 보이고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 1세트를 3개로 하여 총 9개의 75mm 두께인 스티로폼 샌드위치 패널을 이용한 실험을 실시하였다. 이를 통해 공학적인 화재 물성 값인 FIGRA(FIre Growth RAte, kW/s), SMOGRA(SMOke Growth RAte, m2/s2)등을 측정하였다.

Smoke toxicity is the test for the toxicity evaluation of smoke and hazardous gas, caused by combustion of building materials and finishing materials. Smoke toxicity can be evaluated by the mean incapacitation time of mice. This test result can be influenced by the health status of mice and test condition. In acute inhalation toxicity test of hazardous gas, no typical clinical findings and histopathologic abnormalities were observed. Tracheitis and bronchitis as well as acute lung inflammation around terminal bronchiole in some mouse of the highest dose group. Through this study, we established the method for inhalation toxicity test of hazardous gas as well as the SOP of inhalation toxicity test. However, in the future studies, the concentration control methods for inhalation technologies on hazardous gas will be needed to improve continuously and also further studies on other gas inhalation toxicity will be needed to conduct.

본 논문은 건축물 내장재로 사용되는 폴리우레탄폼 및 스티로폼의 연소특성에 관하여 연구하였다. 연소특성 평가를 위하여 폴리우레탄폼 및 스티로폼을 대상으로 연소실험을 수행하였으며, 건축용 내장재 사용의 적합성 평가를 위하여 콘칼로리미터법을 이용한 열방출률 및 연기밀도를 측정 분석하였다. 연소특성 실험 결과, 일반 재질의 폴리우레탄폼은 착화와 동시에 급속히 연소되는 특성을 나타내었으며, 난연 처리된 폴리우레탄폼은 착화와 동시에 자체적으로 소화되는 특성을 나타내었다. 스티로폼은 착화 이후 서서히 연소 확대되며, 이후에는 가장 격렬히 연소되는 특성을 나타내었다. 방출률 및 연기밀도는 한국산업규격 KS F ISO 5660-1 및 국제해사기구의 FTP Code를 만족하지 못하는 것으로 평가되었으며, 이러한 결과로 볼 때, 폴리우레탄폼 및 스티로폼은 건축용 내장재로 사용하기 부적합한 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, a large fire has occurred through a dry bit, which is a flammable exterior material, in Daebong Green Apartment Fire in Uijeongbu in 2015 and Jecheon Sports Center Fire in 2017. In this study, KS F ISO 5660-1 Cone calorimeter experiment was used to examine the fire risk of dry bit. Also, the performance of the repair and reinforcement materials to prevent fire expansion was examined. As a result, the dry bit is likely to be ignited by internal and external flower gardens, and its combustion rate and calorific value are very high. In addition, the performance of heat resistance such as ALC panel and ceramic board as a repair and reinforcement material has been proved. However, the insulation is expected to require further consideration.

In case of Korea, The Large-scale fire is consistently being such as 2015 Uijeongbu Fire, 2017 Jecheon Fire, 2018 Sejong Hospital Fire. Such a fire has a problem that the fire is spreading upper due to external flame spread. As a countermeasure the fire safety, the study about axial temperature prediction of external flame spread is consistently doing. But in korea, Vertical spandrel is specified as 40cm, and improvement is urgently needed. In this study, a repair material was selected to prevent the fire from spreading to a building where a flammable exterior material was installed and then pilot construction was carried out. Also, fire safety measures for buildings constructed with flammable exterior materials were examined.
