Eco-friendly policies proposed by the government of The Republic of Korea have encouraged the use of eco-friendly vehicles. Hydrogen vehicles have exhibited the highest growth rate, although the current number of registered vehicles is low. In hydrogen vehicles, a thermally activated pressure relief device (TPRD) is installed to prevent explosions in the hydrogen gas cylinder. When discharged due to low ignition energy, hydrogen gas readily forms a jet flame. The risks induced by such jet flames were analyzed through a numerical analysis. Jet flames can activate TPRDs installed in nearby hydrogen gas cylinders. As a result, high-voltage cables exposed in the lower area of a vehicle can ignite within seconds. There was a 9.5-kW/m2 area around the vehicle (which can result in casualties) at a distance of ~5 m from the hydrogen gas cylinder, and a 37.5-kW/m2 area (which can cause significant damage) in the form of an inverted triangle toward the lower section of the vehicle. We believe that the risk factors analyzed herein should be considered for addressing accidents in hydrogen vehicles.

Most titanium alloy waste with cutting oil was discarded without recycling process so that it can be caused by metal and oil fires. However, there is no fire management system and studies on the titanium or titanium alloy waste in spite of high fire risk. The purpose of this experimental study is to identify the fire risk of the titanium alloy waste with cutting oil. We collected the 120g waste which was made in the biomedical titanium alloy cutting process. The waste was burned and conducted thermal image analysis with infrared camera. The experimental results which illustrated the process, characteristics, and trends of fire are presented. Firstly, the cutting oil was burned and partially the titanium alloy waste was burned. The maximum temperature of the fire was more than $650^{\circ}C$ in some specific spots. These results means when a lot of titanium alloy waste with cutting oil was ignited, this fire could connect the titanium fire. In other words, the fire has a flammable liquid fire and combustible metal fire at the same time. The experimental study could be used fire prevention, response, and investigation of the titanium alloy waste.

위험물 운반선에 적재된 물질에 화재나 폭발사고와 같은 선박사고가 발생하는 경우, 그 경로가 매우 복잡하기 때문에 사고의 원인을 추정하기가 어렵다. 이는 사고를 일으킨 원인에 대한 증거가 없거나, 선박 안에서 어떤 화학반응이 일어났는지를 시각적으로 파악하기 힘들기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 폭발사고를 야기시키는 화학물질에 화학반응식을 도입한 사건가지분석(Event Tree Analysis, ETA)기법을 적용하여 선박에 적재된 화학물의 화재사고 경로를 추정하는 연구를 하였다. 그 결과 다양한 화학반응식을 나타낼 수 있었으며, 그것을 ETA기법에 적용하여 폭발경로를 보다 시각화 할 수 있었다.

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.

Background: Despite workplaces having policies on fire evacuation, many employees still fail to evacuate when there is a fire alarm. The Reasoned Action Approach is designed to reveal the beliefs underlying people's behavioral decisions and thus suggests causal determinants to be addressed with interventions designed to facilitate behavior. This study is a uses a Reasoned Action Approach salient belief elicitation to identify university employees' perceived advantages/disadvantages, approvers/disapprovers, and facilitators/barriers toward them leaving the office building immediately the next time they hear a fire alarm at work. Methods: Employees at a large public United States Midwestern university completed an online cross-sectional survey. A descriptive analysis of the demographic and background variables was completed, and a six-step inductive content analysis of the open-ended responses was conducted to identify beliefs about leaving during a fire alarm. Results: Regarding consequence, participants perceived that immediately leaving during a fire alarm at work had more disadvantages than advantages, such as low risk perception. Regarding referents, supervisors and coworkers were significant approvers with intention to leave immediately. None of the perceived advantages were significant with intention. Participants listed access and risk perception as significant circumstances with the intention to evacuate immediately. Conclusion: Norms and risk perceptions are key determinants that may influence employees to evacuate immediately during a fire alarm at work. Normative-based and attitude-based interventions may prove effective in increasing the fire safety practices of employees.

In offshore structures, fire is one of the most important hazardous events. The concern of fires has recently been reflected in the rules and quantified risk assessment based design practice. Within the framework of quantified risk assessment and the management of offshore installations, therefore, more refined computations of the consequences or hazardous action effects due to fire are required. To mitigate fire risk, passive fire protection(PFP) is widely used on offshore structures. This study presents methods for a nonlinear structural response analysis considering the PFP effects under fires. It is found that a structural response analysis is most likely to use valuable technology for the optimization and design of offshore structures with PFP. Thermal and structural response analyses have been performed using LS-DYNA and FAHTS/USFOS. The results of these structural response analyses are compared with each other.

미국, 유럽 등의 대형 화학회사들은 효율적인 위험관리를 위해 단계적 위험성평가 전략을 채택하고 있다. HAZOP이나 정량적위험성평가와 같은 상세한 평가를 수행하기 위한 사전단계로서 위험선별(risk screening)기법을 도입하였다. 본 연구에서는 Khan과 Abbasi가 제안한 위험선별방법인 화재폭발손실지수 법(Fire & Explosion Damage Index, FEDI)을 국내의 BTX플랜트에 적용시켜 보았다. 적용결과를 정량적위험성평가의 결과와 비교해 본 결과, 화재폭발손실지수법이 위험잠재성을 파악하는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 화재폭발손실지수 법에 대한 민감도분석을 수행함으로써 화재 및 폭발에 영향을 미치는 가장 큰 인자는 설비내 물질의 특성과 양(quantity)임을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 하여 HAZOP의 사전단계로서 화재폭발손실지수 법을 적용한다면 보다 효율적인 위험성 평가가 가능할 것이다.
