A rack-type warehouse has the advantage of storing a large amount in a small area by loading goods vertically. But in terms of fire risk, the fire load is very high, which can cause massive damage in the event of a fire. In the United States, research has been actively conducted to minimize the spread of vertical fires, and relevant standards have been established and operated. In Korea, research and related standards are insufficient to prevent the vertical spread of rack-type warehouse fires. In this study, an experimental study was conducted to prevent the vertical spread of a rack-type warehouse fire using a horizontal barrier and in-rack sprinklers. As a result of the test, the horizontal barrier considering the continuous flame prevented the vertical spread of the flame for a certain time. However, the horizontal barrier with continuous flame did not show the effect of preventing continuous flame. The combination of the horizontal barrier and the in-rack sprinkler prevented the vertical spread of fire effectively. In addition, the heat collecting effect through the horizontal barrier was shown and helped the early operation of the in-rack sprinklers.

Considering heat insulation and beautiful sight of construction, making use of exterior panels is increasing. Recently the exterior panels now are weak very much, and so in consequence of the weakness fire spreads rapidly. Compared with internal fire, external vertical fire spread rate goes rapidly and it is extensive in spread range, therefore it is dangerous very much. Accordingly, under present condition of poor standard of exterior panels, it is required to take measure to meet the appropriate situation. In this study, by making use of FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulation) program about external vertical fire of high rise building, fire behavior is searched by computer. It is important that realizing by computer fire modeling about external vertical fire must be included certainly in procedure of fire performance design in the future. In modeling program, FDS version 5 is available, and aluminium composite panel is applied in external panels. In this study, for realizing of actual fire condition, FDS is applied by details of fire scenarios considering influence of wind.

To analyze vertical fire spreadability of aluminum composite panel, real scale test of aluminum composite panel and fire retardant aluminum composite panel was conducted as well as analysis of domestic code, test and domestic reaserch resulted in following conclusion. Fire spread risk assessment of aluminum Composite Panel is impossible with the current regulations (Cone Calorimeter Test). It need to changes of regulatory and combustion expanded risk assessment and regulatory changes in the test methods need to be judged. Also, there is quite a big different between the general aluminum Composite Panel and semi-non combustible of aluminum Composite Panel. However it is also deemed to be danger when present in the sidewall to the top consisting of fire spread. From now on, it is needed the study about interpretation of fire spread and sidewall of vertical fire spread analysis not only experiments for aluminum Composite Panel.

Since installing a balcony can significantly reduce the spread of fire, fire spread to the upper levels was confirmed, comparing the cases with and without balcony extension. It was confirmed that the fire can spread not only to the next higher level but also to two levels higher due to the outburst of flame which reached a significant temperature in the case without balcony, while the possibility of fire spread to the upper level reduced considerably with the balcony. this study is compared and analyzed to vertical diffusion appearance of an externally venting flame. An installed balcony is also applied to fire test 6.54kW to analyze about effect of a balcony.

오늘날 인간의 삶의 질 향상과 다양한 욕구를 충족시키기 위한 건축물은 대형화, 고층화, 다양화되는 추세이며, 이에 따른 화재의 발생빈도 및 잠재적인 위험요소가 증가되고 있다. 특히, 화재발생 시 수직으로의 연소확대 위험성이 증가되어 재실자의 피난시간이 지연되는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해서는 화재를 조기에 감지하고 건축물의 구조 등을 감안하여 위험순위에 따른 화재 경보방식을 적용할 필요가 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 수직 연소확대의 위험성을 많이 내포하고 있는 2가지 구조인 전면형 이중외피 구조와 계단 구조에 대해 수직 연소확대 특성을 설명하고, 국내 외 화재경보방식을 비교 검토한 후 FDS 이용하여 연기밀도, 가시거리, CO 농도를 비교 분석하여 각 구조에 적합한 화재경보방식을 제안하였다.

건축물에서 화재 시 인명과 재산의 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 초기의 화염의 확산을 억제하는 것이 우선되어야 한다. 화염의 확산을 방지하기 위한 화재확산방지 대책은 일반적으로 방화구획에서의 구조부재의 내화 성능 확보, 마감재료의 연소 성능에 따른 사용 제한 등이 있다. 마감재료의 연소 성능 판단은 화염의 확산을 판단하기 위해 가장 기초적인 화재 안전 설계이지만 국내의 연소 시험은 시편 크기의 화재 시험 방법으로 연소 성능을 판단하고 있어 샌드위치패널 등과 같은 복합재료의 연소 성능을 판단하기에는 많은 제약을 가지고 있다. 특히 외벽 마감재료의 경우 내부 마감재료에 비해 드라이비트, 알루미늄복합패널, 메탈패널 등과 같은 다양한 복합재료 등이 사용되고 있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 외벽 마감재료의 국제시험규격인 ISO 13785-2 시험방법을 통해 외벽 마감재료의 실물 화재 실험을 통해 외벽 마감재료의 수직화재 확산 특성을 판단하고자 하였다.

In this study, FDS fire simulation experiments and measured wind speed by applying the exterior installation portion for blocking the spread of the fire was investigated. As a result, aluminum composite panels installed in the lower and the upper part of the panel to remove all the lower side, and then the maximum wind speed 0.24 m/s and the upper side 0.58 m/s were measured. In the FDS, the measured wind speed difference air currents are approximately 3.7 times in 12 seconds, the occurrence of 17 seconds early moment wind 2.2 m/s was measured from. Before and after the fire occurred in early of the air velocity about 39 seconds was 3.5 times difference. Such air currents caused by the temperature of the building but also by the building height was found. Turbulent flame of fire by expanding the vertical extent of damage become greatly important factor. Therefore, through the exterior installation portion of the block that can delay the spread of fire is expected that this should be taken.

Large fires continue to spread throughout the building, including the fire in Uijeongbu in 2015, the fire in Jecheon in 2017, and the fire in Miryang in 2018. According to the above fire case investigation, major problems were the fire resistance performance of compartment members such as fire doors, the fire spread due to damage to exterior wall openings, and smoke spread through vertical openings. However, in South Korea, only specification design is implemented for buildings that are not subject to performance design. In addition, the analysis of the fire resistance performance standards of building members in the specification design showed that fire doors were not specified in detail for 60 minutes of insulation performance and 60 minutes of fire resistance performance of E/V doors, limiting the prevention of fire spread. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to prepare measures to prevent the spread of fire by presenting simple transplants for calculating the required fire time according to the architectural design conditions for the performance design of the components of the fire room according to the purpose of use of the front of the building.

External fire spread has the potential to breach vertical compartmentation and violate the fire safety strategy of a building. The traditional design solution to this has been the use of non-combustible materials and spandrel panels but recent audits show that combustible materials are widespread and included in highly complex systems. Furthermore, most jurisdictions no longer require detailing of spandrel panels under many different circumstances. These buildings require rapid investigation using rational scientific methods to be able to adequately classify the fire risk. In this work, we use an extensive experimental campaign of material-scale data to explore the critical parameters driving upward flame spread. Two criteria are outlined using two different approaches. The first evaluates the time to ignition and the time to burnout to assess the ability for a fire to spread, and can be easily determined using traditional means. The second evaluates the preheated flame length as the critical parameter driving flame spread. A wide range of cladding materials are ranked according to these criteria to show their potential propensity to flame spread. From this, designers can use conservative approaches to perform fire risk assessments for buildings with combustible materials or can be used to aid decision-making. Precise estimates of flame spread rates within complex façade systems are not achievable with the current level of knowledge and will require a substantial amount of work to make progress.

해운대 우신빌딩 화재는 고층건축물의 외장재 수직화재에 의해 4층에서 발생한 화재가 최상층인 38층까지 올라가서 펜트하우스까지 모두 전소시켰다. 이 화재를 계기로 초고층 건축물의 위험성이 크게 대두되었고, 이후 다양한 초고층 관련 법규들이 신설되었다. 본 연구에서는 화재 시뮬레이션용 CFD 프로그램 중 FDS를 사용하여 해운대 오피스텔 빌딩의 화재를 재현하였다. 화재 시뮬레이션은 상층부로의 화염 전파 시간 및 경로에 관하여 관련 기사와 화재 동영상을 통해 비교 조사하였다. 이 결과 최상층까지 확산하는 시간이 약 30분으로 실제 화재와 비슷한 결과가 나왔으며 확대되는 화재 성상도 유사함을 나타냈다. 그러나 최상부로 올라갈수록 실제 화재는 V자 형태를 넓게 보였지만 시뮬레이션 결과에서는 상부로 올라갈수록 수평으로 전파하는 범위가 작게 보였다. 이는 FDS가 격자 형태로 표현되고 얇은 외장재를 표현할 수 있는 한계와 바람 방향에 의한 불확실성 때문이라고 판단된다. 또한, 화재확산 영향요소를 평가하기 위해 무풍일 때와 쌍둥이 타워 사이의 외장재가 콘크리트일 때를 고려하여 시뮬레이션을 시행한 결과 실제 화재보다 수직화재가 크게 발생하는 않는 결론을 얻었다.
