This study is intended to present a computational thermal model for a residential building. As the Performance Based Design is more popular, fire-intensity and fire-load have turned out to be very important factors for building design and can be predicted through some computational work. To predict and estimate the fire properties of a residential fire, we made some numerical models of combustibles and residential building. In a bid to validate the estimate values, computational analysis results from numerical models were compared with real fire tests. For computational analysis, the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) was used with Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model for turbulence. Consequently, fire-intensity was well predicted and flash-over of rooms were successfully estimated.

The surveying method for determine moveable fuel load estimates is presented. Two types of offices, open plan design and compartmented layout were surveyed and Data are presented for fuel load densities in ten office buildings. Office building fuel load in Korea range from 36kg/$m^2$ to 52kg/$m^2$ with 95% confidence level and represented mean 44.27kg/$m^2$. The results of the study presented the impact of the office layout and computer accessary contribution on the fuel load. In addition, a comparison of fuel load that found at this survey and that found at Fire Protection Dept., University of Maryland, U. S. A was made.

To research about the fire spread in Korean apartment house, a full-scale fire test in a four-story apartment was executed. The fire started at the third floor, and originated from overheated cooking oil in the kitchen. The apartment included all combustibles in general house. Through measuring temperature, measuring the concentration of oxygen and observing, we investigated the fire spread inside the apartment house. As a result, we got the data of the time needed for the initiation of fire, the time for fire to spread into each area in the house, and the time required until flash-over was seen. Also we grasped the understanding of the fire spread to the upper floor.

The purpose of this study is analyzing the fire behavior according to the fire load for G underground shopping mall located in Daegu city. when predict fire behavior, fire load and ventilation coefficient are important factor who dominate fire temperature or fire continuance time. Therefore, size of unit room, opening size and inflammable investigated on the field. Fire load calculated using unit calorific value by each material of inflammable that investigate. And reduction model experimented fire load about 6 models with variable. Fire behavior analyzed by heat flows of inside space that temperature rise and temperature change by time of fire source.

This study was carried out to remove the water from low grade anthracite slurry produced at Eoryong coal mine by the oil agglomeration process. 80% of Anthracite as a coal oil mixture (COM) was separated from water by the difference of specific gravity. Then, the amount of kerosene, diesel oil, and heavy oil forming COM was 10% of the amount of sample, respectively. The recovery rate of combustibles and ash content of agglomerated anthracite were affected largely by the amount of added oil, pulp density, particle size, mixing time, and impeller speed. The recovery rate of combustibles was increased to 95% and ash content was decrea-sed from 30% to 13.5% under the optimum conditions.

화재감지기는 화재시 발생되는 열, 연기, 불꽃, 독성가스등의 다양한 연소생성물을 감시한다. 기술의 발전으로 화재 감지방식과 기능이 다양해지고 있으며, 이에 따라 다양한 방식의 감지기들이 개발되고 있다. 최근 진보된 감지기들은 화재로 발생 이전에서 부터 감지, 비화재보에 대한 방지는 물론 감지기의 상태 오염 감도 등의 다양 정보를 제공함으로써 유사시 신속하고 정확한 대응이 가능하도록 발전되고 있다. 이러한 진보된 감지기는 막대한 피해가 예상되는 장소, 대피하는데 많은 시간이 소요되는 장소에 적용되어 인명 및 재산피해를 절감 시키고 있다. 일산화탄소감지기 또한 진보된 감지기로 화재 초기 가연물이 연소할 때 발생하는 일산화탄소를 감시한다. 일반화재의 경우 화재 초기에 가연물이 서서히 연소시 불완전 연소로 인한 다량의 일산화탄소가 발생되기 때문에 기존 열, 연기, 불꽃감지기에 비해 빠른 반응을 보여 화재를 조기에 감지함으로써 조기 대응으로 인한 피해를 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 실물화재시험 자료를 바탕으로 CO감지기의 조기 감시능력을 확인하였다. CO감지기는 화재초기 발생되는 일산화탄소를 감지하므로 대피시간이 많이 필요한 장소(병원 노인요양시설 학교 백화점 등), 침대 폼메트리스 훈소화재 발생장소(호텔침실 기숙사 숙박업소, 병실 등)등에 적응성이 우수할 것으로 분석된다. 최근 설계되는 초고층 건축물 및 주요 시설물 등에서 화재 시뮬레이션과 가상시나리오 유형 분석을 통해 성능위주의 설계가 적용되고 있다. 그만큼 정확하고 신속한 감지가 중요하다 할 수 있다. CO감지기야 말로 그 기대에 가장 부합될 것으로 분석된다.

This study focuses on forest fires attributed to cigarette light, the main source of wild fires, by examining the characteristics of the fire types. It aims to present useful data for preventive measures. Statistics show that the average length of cigarette butts left after smoking is 30mm excluding filter for domestic cigarette smokers. Also the average thickness of litter layer in forests is 58.2mm throughout the nation. The value varies according to how often leaves were trodden by hikers : the accumulation amount of Mt. Sunchi. which is relatively protected from human disturbances, is 29.6% more than that of Mt. Kye-Ryong National Park. Aged trees such as Pznus rzgidu, Quercus acutissima and Larix leptolepis have relatively large inflammable contents, 2.43kg in 15 year-old stand and 2.55kg in 10 year-old stand. This study found out the following fact with regard to the start of lighting and the out-break of fire. Fire breaks out within five minutes in the sample(C), in which Zoysza gaponica and Populus X tomentiglandulosu has been tramped when the sample has 2~6 percent of moisture contents. Coniferous trees such as Pinus rigida and Larzx leptolepis do not burn easily while leaving charcoal. In contrast, deciduous trees with Zoysia japonzca and Populus X tomentiglandulosu are quick to catch fire. As a result of the experiments, it is proved that cigarette light is a very dangerous cause of wild fire especially for dry grass like Zoysia gaponica.

The fire accident is a representative type of disaster that can largely impact on business. Therefore, precautionary measures and rapid initial response is very important when a disaster occurs. The storage of porous combustibles is inevitable in coal yard, plywood processing industry, and others that are currently operating. Initial fire fighting of fire and identifying the ignition point in such a porous combustible storage space are so difficult that if the initial response is failed, being led to deep-seated fire, surface fire is likely to result in secondary damage. In addition, deep-seated fire can cause personal injuries and property damage due to a large amount of toxic gases and reignition. Therefore damage reduction measures is required around the storage space to handle a porous flammable. Improving the penetration performance of the concentration of the surfactant is carried out as underlying study, which is about an deep-seated fire extinguishing efficiency augmentation when using wetting agents. The porous materials used in the experiments is radiata pine wood flour, which occupies more than 75% of the domestic wood market. Fire fighting water is selected as Butyl Di Glycol (BDG), which is being used for infiltration extinguishing agent, and the experiment was carried out by producing a standard solution. The experiment was carried out on the basis of the Deep-Seated Fire Test of NFPA 18. The amount of watering, porous material to the internal amount of penetration, and runoff measurement out of the porous material was conducted. According to experimental results, as the surface tension is reduced, the surfactant concentration macroscopic penetration rate decreases, but infiltration to a porous material is shown to have growth characteristics.

The combustion test for real box of AC outdoor unit has been performed in this study in order to estimate the fire hazard in multi-system type of AC outdoor unit which is currently used for commercial use. The result showed that in test, there was explosion inside of AC outdoor unit, and flame erupted and fire spread through upper side grill. And then this fire burnt the combustibles such as wires, electronic control board, heat exchange copper plate and plastics etc inside the unit, refrigerant gas pipe was burst due to fire, and accelerated the explosion and flame eruption to outside while the refrigerant was erupting. It is found in this test that the maximum heat release rate of AC outdoor unit is 5,830 kW, the maximum internal temperature measured with infrared camera and thermocouple is $1,201^{\circ}C$, maximum ambient temperature is $881^{\circ}C$, and flame rose higher than about 5 m. It is concluded that the fire in AC outdoor unit cause fire to combustibles around the unit, and may give big damage by generating the secondary fire. It is expected that the result obtained from the test on the real object may be applied to fire realization of AC outdoor unit and estimation of fire spreading to the combustibles around in the future computer simulation.
