Abstract

This study predicts damaging risk factors in apartment fire situation by using CFAST. The software was developed by Building and Fire Research Lab, that is government affiliated organization of the National Institute of Standards Technology. This analysis scenarios werec well verified by experimental results. Situation of the living room and the second room as well as the bedroom tends to be qualitatively the same with the experimental data. In case of apartment fire, it is predicted that they have been got into trouble with dizziness, badly vomiting and paralysis symptoms due to short oxygen and excessive carbon dioxide when persons were left out in the living room or second room.

본 연구는 CFAST를 이용하여 아파트 화재가 발생하였을 때 인체에 끼치는 위험요소를 예측한다. CFAST 소프트웨어는 National Institute of Standards Technology 산하기관인 Building and Fire Research Lab에서 개발되어진 모델이다. 본 해석 시나리오는 아파트 화재 재현 실험결과에 의해 검증되었다. 해석결과를 요약하면, 침실뿐만 아니라 거실과 작은방의 상황도 실험 데이터와 정성적으로 같은 경향을 보인다. 화재 당시 거실과 작은방에 사람이 있었다면 산소와 이산화탄소의 농도로 인하여 어지러움을 호소하거나 심하게는 구토, 마비 같은 증상이 발생되었을 것으로 예측되었다.
