Sandwich panels which are having the both sides are bonded with a heat insulating material with an iron plate are used as factories, warehouse structures as advantages of convenience in construction at economic efficiency of material cost. However, in a panel structure constructed by continuous joining of sandwich panels, a joint portion where a panel and a panel are connected is generated. The joint part is a part which is easily vulnerable to fire because flames easily flow into the melting and deformation of the iron plate during fire. The flames flowing into the panel induce diffusion of fire by rapid burning, causing damage of human life and property. In this research, we developed a flame spread prevention plate to prevent spreading of sandwich panel. This is an improvement of the workability by the anti-spreading construction method of the existing previous research, it can be applied independently to the connecting part where the panel and the panel are coupled, designed to prevent inflow and spreading of flame did. The actual fire test of the test method of KS F ISO 13784-1 of the sandwich panel specimen was conducted and the burning behavior corresponding to the presence or absence of application of the flame spread prevention plate was grasped at the panel connection part and its effect was measured. Inserting a fire spreading plate into the test result panel connecting part is measured by delaying the flashover, prevention of collapse of the specimen, and temperature rise of the opening, effectively improving the fire safety of the panel structure It was confirmed as a method that can be secured. It is judged that panel structure will contribute to ensuring fire safety by applying the fire spread prevention construction method of various methods ensuring the workability and economy of panel connection vulnerable to fire.

As a building energy saving standard strengthened, The number of building installed external thermal insulation composite system(ETICS) using EPS insulation increased. But frequent fire accident in the buildings installed EIFS using EPS led to strengthening of building fire safety regulation. This study is for fire property of EPS ETICS reinforced with noncombustible calcium silicate-based mineral insulation as a fire spread prevention structure(FSPS). Fire test for large scale wall by ISO 13785-2 was applied and results showed EPS EIFS with FSPS got 3~8 times superior fire safety than normal EIFS by visual investigation. Temperature and heat flux measurement results, which data of upside of specimen were lower than downside, also supported fire safety of EIFS with FSPS.

본 연구는 고층 건축물의 외장재로 많이 사용되고 있는 커튼월에서의 화재확산을 방지하기 위한 방안으로 건축물의 기존 외장재와 설비들을 이용한 성능설계 적용 기법을 활용하기 위한 기초 연구로써 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해서가로 1.2 m, 세로(높이) 2.6 m 두 개의 유리가 붙어 있는 커튼월을 사용하였으며 한쪽의 유리에만 스프링클러를 설치하고, 커튼월 앞에 1m 지름의 헵탄의 화원을 사용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 스프링클러 설치 유무에 따라 커튼월의 유리의 파손으로 인한 화재 전파 방지에 효과가 있는 것을 확인하였다.

Purpose : This study is to develop walls using wall recording technology applied on roofs to prevent fire spread in traditional markets. Method : The spray head installed on the developed wall was designed so that the fire does not spread to adjacent buildings after being used for plants. In addition, a spray head was attached to the upper section and some sections for the growth of plants planted on the wall to prevent the spread of fire. Results : These technologies suggested the development of walls that can be installed at the upper level of buildings, such as traditional markets, and separate isolation facilities were not necessary because they are integrated with structures and sprinklers. In addition, sprinklers can perform both the plant spray and fire spread prevention functions. It is believed that this is the only alternative technology proposed in Korea to prevent the spread of fire. Conclusion : In this study, the wall design, designed directly to derive the quantitative performance of the fire spread reduction effect, demonstrated the fire suppression method of the wall system, the durability of the wall itself, and the flame retardability performance.

A sandwich panel is a composite material composed of a double-sided noncombustible material and insulation core which is used in the inner, outer walls, and roof structure of a building. Despite its excellent insulation performance, light weight and excellent constructability, a flame is brought into the inside of the panel through the joint between the panels, melting the core easily and causing casualties and property damage due to the rapid spread of flame. The current Building Law provides that the combustion performance of finishing materials for buildings should be determined using a fire test on a small amount of specimen and only a product that passes the stipulated performance standard should be used. This law also provides that in the case of finishing materials used for the outer walls of buildings, only materials that secured noncombustible or quasi-noncombustible performance should be used or flame spread prevention (FSP) should be installed. The purpose of this study was to confirm the difference between the dangers of horizontal and vertical fire spread by applying FSP, which is applied to finishing materials used for the outer walls of buildings limitedly to a sandwich panel building. Therefore, the combustion behavior and effects on the sandwich panel according to the application of FSP were measured through the construction to block the spread of flame between the panels using a full scale fire according to the test method specified in ISO 13784-1 and a metallic structure. The construction of FSP on the joint between the panels delayed the spread of flame inside the panels and the flash over time was also delayed, indicating that it could become an important factor for securing the fire safety of a building constructed using complex materials.

Multi-layered material (sandwich panel) consists of double-sided steel plate which is incombustible material or similar material and core material which is not incombustible material. In case of sandwich panel which uses combustible material as insulation, flames spread inside the steel plate at the time of fire so that it is difficult to extinguish fire from the outside and flames spread rapidly and may cause the building to collapse. The current Building Act requires the sandwich panel to secure fire-retardant performance according to the purpose and size of building. In this study, the fire spreading prevention structure applied to partial exterior walls was applied to multi-layered material and its effect was measured through full scale fire test and the possibility to secure fire safety of buildings by applying the fire spreading prevention structure to multi-layered material in future was presented.

To reduce human life and property damage at the fire in a building, it is most critical to control flame spread in the early stage. Fire spread prevention measure generally includes fire resistance performance securing of structure member in the arson zone and use limitation based on combustion performance of finishing material. The latter is most fundamental fire safety design to determine flame spread, but domestic combustion test determines combustion performance by specimen sized fire test method. Thus, there are many restrictions in the determination of combustion performance by composite material such as sandwich panel. Especially, outer finishing material uses a variety of composite material such as dry bit, aluminum composite panel, and metal panel compared to inner finishing material. Therefore, this study would determine vertical fire spread features by a full scaled fire experiment through the test method of ISO 13785-2, an international test standard.

산불의 확산형태 중 지표화 확산을 방지하기 위해 대표적인 진화방법으로는 방화선을 구축하는 것이다. 지표화는 산림의 연료중 낙엽층, 잔가지 등 지표면의 연료층이 열분해되면서 확산되기 때문에 방화선 구축을 통해 연료층을 제거하면 지표화 확산을 저지할 수 있다. 하지만 방화선 구축 폭에 따라 산불확산 방지 효과가 크게 달라질 수 있으므로 적정한 방화선 구축 폭을 설정하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 적정 방화선 구축 폭을 살펴보기 위해 풍동시험장치를 이용하여 풍속 0, 1, 2, 3m/s조건에서 지표화 화염으로부터 이격 거리에 따른 온도측정과 함께 방화선 구축 폭에 따른 확산가능 여부를 평가하였다. 50cm 폭의 소나무 낙엽에 대한 풍속별 지표화 방화선 구축 실험결과, 풍속 3m/s에서 화염으로부터 소나무 낙엽의 착화온도인 $311^{\circ}C$에 도달하는 거리가 약 0.65m로 나타났고 풍속이 낮을수록 착화온도 도달거리가 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있다. 실제 0.6m 방화선 구축의 경우, 화염이 계속 확산되었고 0.65m 이상의 방화선 구축시에는 화염확산이 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 향후, 수치해석을 이용한 열유속 평가 결과와 함께 본 연구의 실험결과와 비교평가 함으로써 지표화 산불확산 방지를 위한 적정 방화선 구축 폭 산정을 평가하고자 한다.

도심 건축물의 고층화가 빠르게 진행됨으로 인하여 국내외의 외장재 화재사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 현재 국내 건축법에서는 외벽 마감재에 관한 관련법이 제정되어 있으나, 외장재의 수직 화재 확산에 대한 구체적인 화재안전성능 확보 기준 및 표준 시험 방법 등이 마련되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 해운대 화재사고에 대한 사례 분석을 통하여 국내 제도 개선방향을 검토하고자 하였으며, 새로운 외장재 수직화재확산 성능 평가 기준 및 시헙법 도입을 제안하고자 하였다.
