Abstract

One of the limitation of wood as building material is its flammability. The purpose of this paper is to examine the combustion properties of the pinus rigida and castanea savita which are grown in Korea and meet the desirable characteristics for use of construction materials. The cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1) was used to determine the heat release rate (HRR) and fire smoke index, as well as CO and $CO_2$ production and smoke obscuration. The $HRR_{mean}$ of the castanea savita at $50kW/m^2$ was $160.7kW/m^2$ in comparison with $150.7kW/m^2$ for the pinus rigida. Castanea savita showed an increase of retardant properties attributed to char formation compared with that of pinus rigida. The castanea savita has high $CO_{peak}$ yield and high CO/$CO_2$ yield compared with that of pinus rigida.

건자재로서 나무 결함중의 하나는 그의 가연성이다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국에서 자란 리기다 소나무와 밤나무의 연소성질을 시험하는 것과 건자재로서의 사용에 대한 바람직한 특성을 알아내는 것이다. 콘칼로리미터(ISO 5660-1)는 열방출율과 CO, $CO_2$ 발생과 연기차폐와 같은 연기지수를 측정하는 데 이용되어 졌다. $50kW/m^2$의 열속하에서 밤나무의 평균열방출율은 소나무의 평균열방출율 $150.77kW/m^2$ 과 비교하여 $160.7kW/m^2$ 을 나타내었다. 밤나무는 소나무에 비해 숯생성으로 인한 증대된 난연성을 보였다. 밤나무는 소나무에 비하여 높은 CO 수율과 높은 CO/$CO_2$ 수율을 나타내었다.
