Statistics show that while the number of fires has decreased over the last decade, losses of human life and economic property due to fire have increased. Moreover, the number of large-scale fires that have occurred in recent years has resulted in heightened public anxiety. This study aims to identify a specific period of the year most vulnerable to fire, and fire trends, such as damage of fire to humans, to the economy, and different building types. For this purpose, we analyzed human and economic damages using statistics related to fire from 2007 to 2017 and provided a monthly distribution of fire damages both to humans and to the economy by building type. We also identified the relationship between the human damage and the economy damage, and compared the economic losses per casualty by building type. The human damage in residential buildings occupied the highest portion, whereas the economic damage of industrial buildings represented more than a half of all economic damage due to fire. The economic damage per casualty was shown highest for industrial buildings and has also increased rapidly in recent years.

Earthquake and fire are both severe disasters for building structures. Since earthquake-induced damage will weaken the structure and reduce its fire endurance, it is important to investigate the behavior of structure subjected to post-earthquake fire. In this paper, steel-concrete composite beam-to-column joints were tested under fire with pre-damage caused by cyclic loads. Beforehand, three control specimens with no pre-damage were tested to capture the static, cyclic and fire-resistant performance of intact joints. Experimental data including strain, deflection and temperature recorded at several points are presented and analyzed to quantify the influence of cyclic damage on fire resistance. It is indicated that the fire endurance of damaged joints decreased with the increase of damage level, mainly due to faster heating-up rate after cyclic damage. However, cracks induced by cyclic loading in concrete are found to mitigate the concrete spalling at elevated temperatures. Moreover, the relationship between fire resistance and damage degree is revealed from experimental results, which can be applied in fire safety design and is worthwhile for further research.

In this study, a series of fire tests was carried out to evaluate fire-induced damage to structural members in tunnels. From the tests, the loss amount of concrete materials by the RWS fire scenario was slightly bigger than by the RABT fire scenario. Especially under the RWS fire scenario where the maximum temperature is over 1,200, the loss of concrete materials was mainly induced by melting. Generally, the loss of materials in reinforced concrete was slightly smaller than that in unreinforced concrete. Depending upon an applied fire scenario, fire-induced damage to shotcrete was quite different. From the real-time investigation of a specimen surface by a digital camcorder, it was proved that the material loss under the RABT fire scenario was mainly induced by spalling. However, it was also revealed that although fire-induced damage in the initial heating stage under the RWS was so close to that under the RABT, the material loss under the RWS at the later stage after 50 minutes elapsed since fire initiation was induced not by spalling but by melting.

최근 들어 자주 발생하는 산림피해는 세계적으로 커다란 이슈가 되고 있으며, 그 중에서도 산불에 의한 피해는 그 자체로서의 피해뿐 만이 아니라, 홍수 등으로 이어지는 2차 피해로 연결이 된다. 또한 산불 등은 자연적인 원인보다는 사람에 의한 인위적인 재해가 많은 것도 주지의 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 위성영상 자료를 이용하기 위한 사전작업으로 근적외 CCD카메라와 분광반사계를 사용한 식생의 분광반사특성을 이용하여 산불의 피해 정도를 파악하고자 하였다. 즉 육안 관측에 의해 산림 피해도를 무(無), 중(中), 강(强)으로 구분하여 산림의 활성도를 평가하여 산림의 소생가능성을 파악하였다. 분광반사계와 근적외 CCD 카메라에 의한 분광 반사 특성간의 상관 관계를 구한 결과, 피해도 무(無), 중(中), 강(强)에서 높은 상관관계를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 산불피해 조사시 분광반사계와 근적외 CCD카메라를 병용하여 사용함으로서, 육안으로 관측하기 어려운 산불의 피해를 파악할 수 있었다.

연구목적: 본 연구에서는 국내 자동차 관련 화재발생 현황 및 위험성을 평가하고 초기 소화기구의 사용에 따른 피해저감 효과에 대해 평가하였다. 연구방법: 국내 자동차 화재의 발생 빈도에 대한 위험성 분석과 화재발생시 자동차에 비치되어 있는 소화기를 사용하여 초기 소화에 적용한 사용에 따른 인적 및 재산피해를 분석하였다. 연구결과: 국내 자동차 화재 발생에 따른 건당피해액은 연평균 증감률이 4.74%이고 매년 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 자동차 화재현황 중 승용자동차에서 발생한 인명피해를 연도별 화재발생 건당 인명피해로 분석한 결과, 화재발생 100건당 재산피해액은 424.65만원에서 473.06만원으로 과거 5년간(2012년~2016년) 지속적으로 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 결론: 승용자동차 화재시 소화기를 사용한 경우에는 화재발생 1건당 평균 재산피해액은 약 307.5만으로 산정되어 초기 자동차 화재에 차내에 비치된 소화기를 사용한 초기소화의 중요성과 필요성이 요구된다.

In the event of a fire, fire engines usually arrive within 15 minutes and become a fire suppressor. In this paper, an analytical model was established to evaluate the salt damage resistance of concrete according to fire suppression time, and the concentration of salt inside the concrete after fire was measured and the time to reach the critical concentration was assessed by how short.

도시화 및 산업화로 대형화재 예방 및 관리, 조치에 대한 중요성이 나날이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 인구 50만 이상 대도시인 포항시는 대형화재 피해를 최소화시킬 수 있는 요소인 골든 타임 내 화재 현장 도착율이 상대적으로 현저히 낮다. 그러므로 추가적인 소방력 배치 및 인프라 투자가 필요한 실정이다. 그러나 예산과 인력은 한정되어 있기에 선별적인 소방력 배치 및 인프라 투자를 해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 포항시 행정구역 간의 선별적인 소방 서비스 제공 및 관련 의사결정에 도움을 줄 수 있는 지표인 화재 발생 시 화재 피해 수준을 비교할 수 있는 화재 피해 등급을 제시하고자 하였다. 화재 피해 등급 측정을 위해 OD cost matrix를 사용하여 도로망에 따른 화재 발생 시 화재 규모가 커질 가능성이 높은 화재 취약지역을 예측하였으며, 인구와 건물 밀도, 소방차 접근성에 따른 화재 발생 시 화재 피해 수준을 예측한 화재 피해도를 측정하였다. 화재 피해 등급을 통해 포항시뿐만 아니라 다른 지역의 소방력 배치 및 소방 서비스 관련 다양한 의사결정에 도움 줄 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

In the fire there are fusion signs and damage by fire, and insulation aging and carbonization of the electric wiring in the ignition spot because of special characteristic of the appliance in the electricity fire. Because of the physical factor applied in the damage of fire, the decision of ignition spot by eye investigation is insufficient. In this paper, the cause of electricity fire is researched. The focus is on the operation state of operated MCCB(Molded Case Circuit Breaker) at the time of electricity fire. Through grasping the operation principle of MCCB and the experiment, the state of MCCB after fire suppression is discriminated. The distinction possibility on the exist of electricity fire is proposed.

In this work we first review the statistical data on large fires in urban areas, presenting a detailed list of causes of fires, the type of damage to concrete and reinforced concrete structures. We also present the modern experimental approach for studying the fire-resistance of different structural components, along with the role of numerical modeling to provide more detailed information on quantifying the temperature and heat flux fields. In the last part of this work we provide the refined models for assessment of fire-induced damage in structures built of concrete and/or reinforced-concrete. We show that the refined models of this kind are needed to provide a more thorough explanation of damage and to complete the damage assessment and post-fire evaluations.

In the design and maintenance of buildings, identifying the degree of damage in the event of a fire is an important factor in fire prevention and fire safety design. In order to predict fire damage, safety measures should be established by predicting the nature of evacuation according to fire, smoke and in-house characteristics, and the effects of the operation of fire safety facilities should also be considered, but in Korea, the risk analysis due to the operation of fire safety facilities is insufficient. Accordingly, this study uses fire statistics and sprinkler inspection data to analyze the degree of fire damage caused by the operation of sprinkler facilities in a probabilistic manner.
