In Korea, smoke control measures through NFSC 501 are proposed to reduce human casualties caused by smoke in the event of a fire. However, as a result of investigating and analyzing domestic and foreign standards, it was found that domestic regulations do not set fire source, but simply set smoke emissions by floor area or height of smoke boundary. Foreign regulations set fire source. Therefore, it is judged that it is necessary to review whether the current domestic regulations can be applied in the event of an actual building fire. So, this paper aims to identify the differences in domestic and foreign standards through investigation and analysis of related standards for fire zone smoke control system in each country and use them as basic data to improve the performance of zone smoke control system.

This study was conducted to evaluate the fire retardant performance of exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP) applied for particleboard. This work measured heat release rate(HRR), total heat release(THR) and smoke production rate(SPR) of xGnP added particleboard, using cone calorimeter to assess its fire characteristics according to the KS F ISO 5660-1 standard code. Heat release rates of all specimens treated by xGnP were less than the $200kW/m^2$ for a total experiment period of five minutes. Heat release rates of the specimens coated with xGnP were lower than those of the specimens made by mixing wood particles with xGnP directly. Meanwhile, the total heat release rates of xGnP coated specimen maintained quite lower level than the uncoated so the xGnP coating were effective in improving the fire retardant performance of particleboard. However, the smoke emission peaking problem at the initial combustion period, which was caused by adding base coating materials, should be resolved for further satisfaction as a fire retardant materials.

One of the notable changes in Korean Industry in 1990's was globalization. Many of Korea plants have been built In the foreign countries and many of foreign plants have been build in Korea. And it is believed that many foreign insurance companies will begin their business in Korea soon, as Korea will open their insurance market to them. While sprinkler system plays very important role in total fire protection system, Korean sprinkler system design has not been studied in depth. Thus, it is not easy to convince the performance of Korean sprinkler system and compare it to NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler System. Design guideline from both system will be listed and compared in detail. Fire water demand from both system will be reviewed to evaluate its adequacy. Water spray density and actuation time will be estimated, too.

Current industrial practices and approaches are simplified and do not describe the actual behavior of plated elements of offshore topside structures for safety design due to fires. Therefore, it is better to make up for the defective methods with integrated fire safety design methods based on fire resistance characteristics such as residual strength capacity. This study numerically investigates the residual strength of steel stiffened panels exposed to hydrocarbon jet fire. A series of nonlinear finite element analyses (FEAs) were carried out with varying probabilistic selected exposures in terms of the jet fire location, side, area, and duration. These were used to assess the effects of exposed fire on the residual strength of a steel stiffened panel on a ship-shaped offshore structure. A probabilistic approach with a feasible fire location was used to determine credible fire scenarios in association with thermal structural responses. Heat transfer analysis was performed to obtain the steel temperature, and then the residual strength was obtained for the credible fire scenarios under compressive axial loading using nonlinear FEA code. The results were used to derive closed-form expressions to predict the residual strength of steel stiffened panels with various exposure to jet fire characteristics. The results could be used to assess the sustainability of structures at risk of exposure to fire accidents in offshore installations.

The purpose of this study is to suggest architectural planning guideline for the improvement of the evacuation environment in a ward. To suggest of guideline, the problem of irrational domestic criteria is searched according to compare National fire code (NFPA101, Life safety code) with Korea building law. This study includes stairs, corridors and exit door etc. but excludes fire facilities. To verify effectiveness of suggested guideline, egress simulation is run that based on databases according to literature survey. The results of this study could be summarized as follow: Suggested guidelines are subdivision(fire partition), evacuation by elevator, secure useful waiting space of elevator hall and smokeproof enclosures, the corridor is divided by fire or smoke barriers corridor from hazardous room, only wheeled items are arranged in corridors of a ward story. The result of computer simulation for suggested guidelines verify that egress time can be decreased 20% or above.

Fire simulation has been developed for decades to analyze fire cases and provide a tool to study fundamental fire dynamics and combustion. There are three way of fire simulation which are a full scale simulation, an experimental simulation and a computational simulation. In case of a full scale simulation, because a higher cost, a higher risk, more efforts are needed, a demand for it has been decreased. But recently a demand for an experimental simulation and a computational simulation has been increased. A computational simulation has several advantages; lower cost, short period, many case studies, more visual results, a quantitative result and etc. FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator) which has been developed in BFRL(Building and Fire Research Laboratory), NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology) is a popular world wide code for fire simulation. Lack of accurate predictions by the model could lead to erroneous conclusions with regard to fire safety. All results should be evaluated by the informed judgment of the qualified user.

본 연구는 건물형 전통시장의 화재 시뮬레이션을 통해 실내온도를 도출하여 온도구배를 이용하여 주요구조부의 온도를 산출하여 구조체 한계온도에 도달하는 시간과, 피난 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 도출 된 피난완료시간을 비교하여 피난안전성을 평가하였다. 피난안전성이 확보되지 않는 건축물의 주요구조부재에 내화보강을 0.01~0.035 m 두께로 실시하는 것을 개선안으로 제시하여 피난안전성을 확보하고자 하였다. 소형과 중형은 내화보강이 0.025 m 이상일 때, 중대형과 대형은 0.035 m 이상 보강시 안전성이 확보되는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 피난안전성의 확보하기 위해선 내화 보강이 적용되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

특정 고압가스 등을 사용하기 위해 배관과 안전장치 등이 일체로 구성된 가스 실린더 캐비닛은 화재 발생 시 고온의 열로 인한 급격한 압력상승으로 실린더 폭발 및 파편 비산 등의 위험성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 위험성은 용기 내부에 충전된 가스의 유출을 초래하여 중독, 질식 등의 2차 피해를 발생시킬 가능성이 크므로 내부 용기로 인한 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 가스 실린더 캐비닛의 내화성능 확보가 매우 중요하다. 국외의 경우 가스 실린더 캐비닛이 화염에 노출되는 상황에서 일정 시간동안 내부의 실린더를 보호할 수 있도록 미국 NFPA code, 유럽 EN-14470-2 등에서 가스 실린더 캐비닛 내화시험 기준을 규정하고 있다. 하지만 국내의 경우 내압성능과 기밀성능 기준만 명시되어 있고, 그 대상은 배관계로 한정되어 있으며 국외보다 가스 실린더 캐비닛의 내화성능을 위한 연구 및 규정이 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 가스 실린더 캐비닛의 내화성능 기준 확립을 위해 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 이용하여 열해석을 수행함으로써 화재 발생 시 구조, 재질 측면에서의 최적 조건을 도출하고자 한다.

스프링클러설비의 화재안전기준인 NFSC103은 설계면적 내의 모든 헤드로부터 방출압 1 bar이상과 방출량 80 lpm 이상을 최소기준으로 규정하고 있다. NFSC103은 또한 설치장소의 용도에 따라 설계면적에서 작동하는 헤드의 수를 10개, 20개, 30개로 규정하고 각 헤드별 유량을 80 lpm으로 하여 총유량을 800 lpm, 1,600 lpm, 2,400 lpm으로 규정하고 있다. 이 규정대로 스프링클러 설비를 설계하면 약 50 %의 스프링클러헤드에서 유량과 압력이 최소기준보다 부족하게 된다. 이는 스프링클러의 목적인 초기화재 대응에 실패를 가져오는 심각한 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 성능위주 설계인 수리계산방법에 의해 모든 스프링클러설계가 이루어지는 것이 바람직하다.

A numerical reproducibility of the backdraft phenomena in a compartment was investigated. The prediction performance of two combustion models, the mixture fraction and finite chemistry models, were tested for the backdraft phenomena using the FDS code developed by the NIST. The mixture fraction model could not predict the flame propagation in a fuel-air mixture as well as the backdraft phenomena. However, the finite chemistry model predicted the flame propagation in the mixture inside a tube reasonably. In addition, the finite chemistry model predicted well the backdraft phenomena in a compartment qualitatively. The flame propagation inside the compartment, fuel and oxygen distribution and explosive fire ball behavior were well simulated with the finite chemistry model. It showed that the FDS adopted with the finite chemistry model can be an effective simulation tool for the investigation of backdraft in a compartment.
