Abstract

A fire risk assessment in rack-type warehouse is typically determined based on the following factors: 1. flammability and fire loads for storage of goods, packing materials, and pallet, 2. a ceiling height of warehouse indoor spaces, and 3. height, arrangement, and spacing for storage racks. For appropriately extinguishing and protecting the fire in warehouses, therefore, it is necessary to classify combustibles considering the previously mentioned factors and to develop design Standards for sprinkler system. As the first step to apply automatic sprinkler system to domestic warehouses, this study investigated characteristics for commodity distribution and warehouse configuration using 28 warehouses in five distribution complexes located in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. In addition, this study analyzed Standards for commodity distribution adopted in USA, Europe, and Japan. Using the field survey analysis, this study was aimed to provide baseline data to prepare for Commodity Classification Standard for warehouses in South Korea.

물류창고 화재위험성은 보관물품, 포장재 및 파렛 등의 가연성과 화재하중 그리고 창고 내부 천장높이, 랙크 등의 저장높이와 배치, 통로 폭 등에 따라 결정된다. 물류창고의 소화 또는 진압대책은 이러한 주요 인자를 고려한 가연물 등급 분류기준을 마련하고 스프링클러설비 설계기준을 적용해야 한다. 본 연구는 국내 물류창고의 자동식스프링클러 적용을 위한 첫 단계로서 경기도 소재 5개 물류단지 내 28개 창고 동을 대상으로 수용물품의 분포 및 창고 공간특성을 현장 조사하였다. 아울러 미국 유럽 및 일본의 물품 분류기준을 분석하였으며 이를 통하여 물류창고 수용물품의 등급분류기준 마련을 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다.
