Fire is recognized as a significant hazard in a service life of a structure. Therefore there is a clear need to provide an improved understanding of the performance of material and structures in fire and to provide clear design guidance in order to progress safety design especially high rise building. It is the aim of this study to investigates and analyze the study on the development of evaluation methods for fire risk analysis of high-rise building.

Foam concentrate is used for fire-extinguishing purposes, occurring foam, mixed with air. In huge oil-fire or the efficiency of fire-extinguishing with small quantity of water, Foam concentrate is used widely. However, perfluorooc tanoicsulfonate and nonylpenol that are included in Foam concentrate could be exposure in danger while they were discharged. The purpose of the research is the development of environment-friendly high expansion foam that exclude the dangerous substances and improvement of danger of the existing foam concentrate. The developed foam is analyzed as the environment-friendly foam in indexes of the environment-toxicity, the biodegradation appraisal, and the dangerous substances-detecting. In addition, the performances of expansion rate, discharge rate, and fire-extinguishing are suitable in the domestic regulation, so it is useful for fire-extinguishing in real fire situation.

When a fire happens in builds or apartments, peoples are tend to be caught in dangerous situations owing to the failure of searching escape route to the outside. In this work, an efficient fire detection and alarm system which makes it possible for the escapers to take adequate actions is proposed. The proposed system consists of two parts. One is fire detection modules which are located at each compartments in a building. The other is fire warning modules equipped with portable flashes having ability of visual/voice warning. Fire detection information is transmitted between each modules wirelessly. In this work, an efficient communication protocol for sensor network-based fire detection system is proposed and its feasibility is verified by practical experiments using MANGO ZDK Development tools

This study presented the development of a user centered school facility fire safety evaluation model that would support fire safety evaluation, which is globally recognized as being important in terms of school safety, to be more efficiently implemented in the school field mainly by students. The study consisted of five steps. First, actual condition survey tools were developed based on the major fire safety evaluation items derived through literature review. Second, the characteristics of domestic school facilities in terms of fire safety were developed using the survey tools. Third, an evaluation model at a level utilizable by students was developed based on the foregoing characteristics. Fourth, the applicability of the model was verified through a trial application of the model to elementary school students. Finally, legal and institutional improvement plans and fire safety education materials were presented through a policy proposal.

Concrete filled tube (CFT) columns, which consist of a steel tube filled with concrete, combine the benefits of the two materials. The steel tube provides a confining pressure to the concrete, while the local buckling of steel plate can be prevented by the concrete core. CFT columns also have a high fire resistance due to the heat storage effect of concrete under fire. For this reason, it is possible to develop CFT columns without fire protection measures. CFT columns without fire protection have many advantages, including quality control, cost reduction, better space efficiency and a shorter construction period. Due to these advantages, studies on the development of CFT columns without fire protection measures have been performed. However, CFT columns lose their bearing capacity under fire because the steel tube is exposed to the outside. As a result, the structure is collapsed, causing significant damage. In this research, we made a CFT column using high strength concrete (100 MPa) and high strength steel (800 MPa). We use steel fiber and nylon fiber with concrete to provide fire resistance. We perform the fresh concrete experiment and investigate the fire resistance of the CFT column (${\Box}400{\times}400{\times}15{\times}3000mm$) under loading. To investigate the effect of steel fiber on increasing fire resistance, we compare the fire resistance time according to the steel fiber. Through the test, it was found that the CFT specimen with steel fiber had better fire resistance performance than other cases.

This paper presents the development of fire-fighting and rescue robot for Outdoor Environment. In the procedure of this development, we follow Target Oriented Design (TOD) which is recognized as the systematic methodology to design a system by specifying the target clearly. For some real fire fighting tasks (e.g. tasks in shopping street and a market), narrow road make it difficult for existing fire engine to access the firing place. On the other hand, for dangerous tasks (e.g. gasoline station and a storehouse) the explosive materials make it impossible for fire-fighters to access the firing place. Moreover, the smoke and the high-temperature caused by fire make fire fighting difficult. In this situation, the solution is to develop the fire-fighting and rescue robot. TOD is performed firstly by analyzing the environment properties of fro place and the demanded tasks and the fire-fighting and rescue robot is manufactured. For safety, the fire fighting robot should be controlled by remote operation to keep the operator away from the fire, and the control system is divided into three parts: the robot controllers, controller for remote operating device and wireless communication system. We have selected and developed appropriate hardware and software for each part of control system with considering TOD. As a result, the fire-fighting robot functions correctly and the performance and usefulness of our control architecture is validated by successfully performing some fire-fighting tasks.

This study is related with globalization development plans of the convergence systems and policies for domestic fire industry. The current issues are analysed from the condition of the policy enforcement of fire industry promotion and analysis results of the fire industry's environment. Consequently, advanced plans of promotion law and overseas expansion plans for fire industry is proposed, Especially, overseas expansion plans include technology policy strategies and activate plans of overseas expansion support for fire industry. Plans of overseas expansion support for fire industry are discussed in terms of three detailed plans including with diversification of foreign exhibitions support of fire industry, dispatch expansion of overseas market pioneer and expansion of the asian emerging markets. Especially, plans of expansion of the asian emerging markets will lead the strategic performances including with establishment of superiority in domestic fire system, provision of infrastructure abroad in domestic fire industry and of Induction of establishment in domestic fire inspection systems.

Virtual Fire Control System(VFCS) in attack helicopter is developed. VFCS is comprised of multifunction display, store management computer, mission computer, target acquisition and designation system, mission planning system, weapon simulator and flight simulator. Weapon engagement process under the operational environment of helicopter was considered by using the VFCS. We considered hellfire missile, tow missile, unguided rocket and turret gun. The results of this study will be utilized efficiently on integrated fire control system SIL(System Integration Lab.) in attack helicopter.

In many of the developed countries, there have been continuous offers to observe and understand the fire phenomenon for the establishment of fire safety and the development of fire protection technology. In the past, full scale fire experiments have been conducted for the development of the construction technology and the design methods in order to secure the safety of the buildings and the people as well. This study aims at the statistics concerning the structural vulnerablity parts based on the full scale fire experiment in one of the apartment buildings that represents the average households in Korea, thereby acquring the experimental technology, and the basic data needed for the prediction of enclosure fire phenomenon which is critical for the establishment of evalution methods through simulation, and has also presents secured problems concerning the balcony structure and the window types that requires imediate improvement.
