The objective of this study is to formulate a general 3D material-structural analysis framework for the thermomechanical behavior of steel-concrete structures in a fire environment. The proposed analysis framework consists of three sequential modeling parts: fire dynamics simulation, heat transfer analysis, and a thermomechanical stress analysis of the structure. The first modeling part consists of applying the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) where coupled CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) with thermodynamics are combined to realistically model the fire progression within the steel-concrete structure. The goal is to generate the spatial-temporal (ST) solution variables (temperature, heat flux) on the surfaces of the structure. The FDS-ST solutions are generated in a discrete form. Continuous FDS-ST approximations are then developed to represent the temperature or heat-flux at any given time or point within the structure. An extensive numerical study is carried out to examine the best ST approximation functions that strike a balance between accuracy and simplicity. The second modeling part consists of a finite-element (FE) transient heat analysis of the structure using the continuous FDS-ST surface variables as prescribed thermal boundary conditions. The third modeling part is a thermomechanical FE structural analysis using both nonlinear material and geometry. The temperature history from the second modeling part is used at all nodal points. The ABAQUS (2003) FE code is used with external user subroutines for the second and third simulation parts in order to describe the specific heat temperature nonlinear dependency that drastically affects the transient thermal solution especially for concrete materials. User subroutines are also developed to apply the continuous FDS-ST surface nodal boundary conditions in the transient heat FE analysis. The proposed modeling framework is applied to predict the temperature and deflection of the well-documented third Cardington fire test.

The sandwich panel is commonly used domestically because it's less costly and easier to handle. But fires have frequently occurred in buildings employing sandwich panels, such as the fires in Eecheon cold storage and in Gwangju Pyungdong industrial zone. Sandwich panels with steel plates on their surface prevent fire water from penetrating to the fire source, which makes it difficult to extinguish a fire in a timely manner. Toxic gas generated from some insulation material leads to serious loss of life and property. This study is intended to develop an extinguishing system for sandwich panels, thereby reducing the fire risk. Fire water and volume were determined in the wake of the study on the structure of a sandwich panel extinguishing system, and improvement and testing of the fire characteristics of the sandwich panel. Based on such study and test, a fire model test was conducted. Consequently, the sandwich panel with extinguishing system was proven to have a reduced fire risk, compared to traditional or fire retardant panels.

A series of experiments were conducted to study the effectiveness of the extinction of a liquid pool fire with two different water atomizing nozzles. Fire source is small-scale circular stainless steel pan of 120mm in diameter with the fuels of hexane and ethanol. K-type thermocouples were used to measure the flame and fuel temperature along the pool centerline and under fuel surface. A digital camera was used to visualize the process of the fire suppression. The experimental results show that water mist droplet size is $115{\sim}180{\mu}m$ with nozzle A and $130{\sim}190{\mu}m$ with nozzle B. The extinguishing time of pool fire was reduced with the increase of pressure. When water droplets are small, they do not reach the flame base since they may be deflected or evaporated by the fire plume. However, influence of flow rate is more important than droplet size on fire extinction. Among the fire extinction mechanisms, drop of flame temperature is superior to suffocation of O2 concentration.

Grenfell Tower was renovated in 2014 and 2016 at a high cost to replace the exterior materials, windows and co-heating facilities of the building. The exterior materials used during the repair work were sandwich panels filled with polyethylene and plastic, which were expanded on the aluminum metal surface. It is a product called Celotex RS 5000, a low-resolution but inexpensive repair material, and is currently an external material that cannot be used in high-rise buildings. Similar domestic fire cases began to focus social attention on the safety of high-rise buildings through the Busan Residential Complex Fire (2010), Uijeongbu Urban Living Housing Fire (2015), and Ulsan Residential Complex Fire (2020), and residents' safety concerns are increasing. In Korea, the occurrence and risk of similar fires are high, so setting up fire prevention measures through fire case investigation is considered the most basic measure in securing human safety. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the status of fire damage caused by domestic and foreign eruptions, domestic and international research status and related regulations on external materials and windows starting from the Grenfell Tower fire in England.

가연물의 열발생률에 근거한 설계화원은 성능위주설계의 화재안전성 평가에 매우 중요한 영향을 줄 수 있다. 그러나 현재 성능위주설계에서는 국내 가연물의 화재정보의 부족으로 인하여 제한된 외국 문헌정보가 추가 검증이 없이 적용되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 성능위주설계의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위하여 다양한 주거 및 사무공간 가연물을 대상으로 열발생률 및 화재성장률에 관한 정보를 제공하는 것이다. 이를 위해 총 14가지의 단일 및 다수 가연물에 대한 화재실험이 수행되었다. 본 연구에서 고려된 가연물의 최대 열발생률은 36 kW~1,092 kW의 범위를 갖는 것으로 측정되었다. 화재성장률은 주거용 가연물이 $0.003kW/s^2{\sim}0.0287kW/s^2$이고, 사무용 가연물이 $0.003kW/s^2{\sim}0.0838kW/s^2$ 범위를 갖는다. 특히 소파는 최대 열발생률 및 화재성장률의 관점에서 가장 높은 화재 위험성을 갖는다. 마지막으로, 다양한 가연물들의 최대 열발생률과 노출 표면적의 상관관계 분석을 통해 공간 내의 최대 열발생률을 산출하는 방법론이 제안된다.

1997년 10월 21일에 발생한 지리산 국립공원의 산불 지역을 대상으로 토양 미생물의 분포 밀도 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 산불 발생 직후 표층, 지하 5cm, 10cm, 20cm, 30cm의 각 깊이에서 토양 미생물의 밀도를 조사하였다. 표층과 지하 5cm 깊이에 분포하는 세균의 밀도는 산불이 없었던 인근 지역의 $10^6$CFU/g soil 수준에 비해 $10^2$ CFU/g soil 수준으로 감소하였다. 방선균은 표층에서 완전히 소멸되었으며 지하 5cm 깊이에서는 대조구의 $10^6$CFU/g soil 수준에 비해 낮은 $10^3$ CFU/g soil 수준이었다. 곰팡이는 표층과 지하 5cm 깊이 모두에서 완전히 소멸된 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 지하 10cm 이상의 깊이에 분포하는 미생물들의 밀도는 전혀 감소되지 않았다. 또한 산불 발생 후 토양 미생물의 분포 회복 양상을 알아보기 위해 표층과 지하 5cm 깊이에서 경시적으로 밀도를 조사하였다. 산불 발생 2개월만에 미생물 밀도의 대부분은 크게 증가하여 산불이 없었던 인근 지역과 비슷하였으나토양 표층에 분포하는 방선균만은 산불 발생 4개월 후에도 여전히 대조구의 $10^6$ CFU/g soil 수준에 비해 낮은 $10^4$CFU/g soil 수준을 나타내었다.

In this paper, the behaviors of tunnel damaged by fire, the diagnostic techniques for evaluating tunnel stability are presented. Also two fireproof construction methods are recommended. Three tunnels damaged by fire were analyzed to evaluate the structural stability. From the these analyzed, it is recommended that surface checking, rebound number of concrete by Schmidt Hammer, and carbonation of concrete are essential to evaluate the engineering properties of concrete in tunnel structure damaged by fire. On the basis of case studies of tunnel fire collected by ITA, the change of concrete and steel strengths by fire are explained, and numerical analysis, which was performed on culvert and circle tunnel, shows that distribution of temperature in the tunnel is dependant upon tunnel shape. Two fireproof construction methods using panel and punching metal are introduced to protect the tunnel by fire.

In this study, we carried out the emissions analysis of CO and $non-CO_2$ for the age-classes of various pine trees(Pinus koraiensis, Pinus densiflora, Pinus rigida Mill., Pinus thunbergii Parl.) to estimate of emission factors of the crown layer and surface layer in the forest fire. We used the thermal characteristic analyzer cone heater and NDIR analyzer in order to measure amount of emission. As a result, the major emissions of Pinus koraiensis were $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ and that of Pinus thunbergii Parl. was only CO. The major emissions of the most of pine trees were NO and $N_2O$. The $CO_2$ emission of Pinus thunbergii Parl. was the highest about as $7.26{\times}10^{-2}{\sim}1.63{\times}10^{-1}g$ and next came Pinus densiflora, Pinus koraiensis, Pinus rigida Mill.. And the CO emission of Pinus thunbergii Parl. was about $5.14{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}6.58{\times}10^{-3}g$ and followed by Pinus densiflora, Pinus koraiensis, Pinus rigida Mill.. The emissions of $CH_4$, NO, and $N_2O$ showed small differences between species and the emission of $CH_4$ was $8.37{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}2.55{\times}10^{-4}g$, and NO was $6.65{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}2.0{\times}10^{-4}g$ and $N_2O$ was $1.42{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}2.09{\times}10^{-3}g$ in all species. Particularly, the emission of Pinus thunbergii Parl. was the highest in all pine trees except $CH_4$.
