Under the Korean Enforcement Decree of the Building Act, all high story apartment houses more than 5 stories high are mandated to install a fire evacuation system to ensure safe evacuation from fire accidents and providing quick and easy bidirectional escape route when main entrance is blocked by flame or toxic smoke. However, the current fire evacuation system shows a lack of understanding from residents and thus is widely ignored for having insufficient safety functions, especially vis-à-vis fire emergencies. Studies have found that an alternative evacuation method, the escapable fire evacuation system, has been analyzed for safety evaluation compared with the conventional passive fire escape system and can bring efficient and safer solutions, providing high rise residents escape from fire accidents. Evaluation for safety evacuation has been performed by the Fire Dynamics Simulation and applying Pathfinder simulation. This resulted in providing appropriate escape routes within the safety escape time and allowed for people in high rise building fires to get to safety.

In apartment buildings, casualties, especially fatalities have occurred in balcony areas in fires if residents fail to escape to the main entrance. Potential consequences of a particular infrequent event should be considered. In attempting to design apartment buildings for fire safety, alternative escape methods such as vertical penetration could be considered. The purpose of this study is to investigate present building regulations regarding apartment buildings and examine pros and cons of the current escape method and alternative escape methods. Focus group interview was conducted to discuss problems of fire escape methods. In addition, questionnaires were distributed to field professionals working in architecture, construction and related industries. Among 500 questionnaires distributed, 192 questionnaires were collected. Usable 162 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS 15. Regarding alternative fire escape methods, several concerns were mentioned. Safety, privacy, security, effectiveness of escape, water proof problems were raised. Based on the opinions, vertical penetration between apartment unit appeared more safe, secure, effective than horizontal penetration. However, both methods have its own pros and cons under specific contexts. Alternative escape methods need be considered for a selective options for residents in case of fire.

공동주택의 피난 및 피난경로에 관한 일반적인 이론과 법규정의 문제점을 분석하고 화재 사례 및 건립 분양 중에 있는 공동주돼을 연구사례로 선정 피난상의 문제점을 분석하였다. 그 결과 단순히 방화관련법규에서 규정하고 있는 사항만을 경제적인 논리, 입주자의 편익, 법규정의 미비로 피난성능을 무시한 채 피난계단의 설치로 특별피난계단의 설치를 대신하 고 있다. 또한 피난의 안전성 확보측면에서 발코니의 설치로 체류공간을 확보해야 하나 실 내공간의 확보에 밀려 미설치 혹은 개조를 전제로 건축되고 있다. 따라서 법규정의 정비, 성능위주의 설계 등이 요구된다. 요구된다.

방재설계를 하는데 있어서 피난의 주체인 재실자가 화재시 신속하고 안전하게 피난 가능 하도록 피난방법의 최적으로 정립하는 것이 핵심적 사항이다. 건설 기술의 발전으로 많은 초고층 건축물이 세워지고, 초고층 건축물은 다양한 위험을 내포하고 있으며 재해의 정도를 증대시키고 있다. 초고층 건축물의 기본 설계 단계에서, 화재시 재실자가 피난 계단과 엘리베이터를 동시에 시용하여 피난하는 것을 고려 할 수 있으나, 이러한 피난 계단과 엘리베이터를 동시에 이용안 대피 성능 평가는 적립되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 Virtools를 이용한 VR 기법을 사용하여 화재시 재실자가 비상 엘리베이터 및 피난계단을 동시에 이용하여 피난 할 경우에 대한 대피성능평가를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석하였다.

It has been recognized that the escape facility planning is very important for effective evacuation of accupants on fire event. The ultimate goal of the escape facility planning is to evacuate occupants rapidly from building fires to the safe areas. In fire event, occupants usually gather, utilize and finally act upon information about state transient of building fire system, which is consisted of components of fire, building and accupant during the ralatively short period of the fire event. That is, occupants' egress behavior is largely dependent upon building fire system. Therefore, comprehensive study for the relationship between building fire system and occupants' egress behavior is needed. This study aims to suggest the pre -occupancy evaluation method of the life safety performance for the architectural design based on prediction of occupants' egress behavior during building fires with computer simulation.

The purpose of this study is to know how visual-field obstruction from fire smoke influences a resident's necessary time to reach fire escape and evacuation movement in a high-rise apartment housing. Generally, fire smoke not only gives visual-field obstruction and breath troubles to residents but interrupts their evacuation behavior. If a fire smoke layer is formed in the core department when evacuee enters at the evacuation staircase until, residents will be made to undergo a range of vision obstacle. In order to set a situation like that, participants wore eye bandage which had been made especially before the experiment. Also as a comparative standard, through no.1442 Japanese construction ministry notices about the building evacuation safety verification method, this study calculated smoke layer's dissent time and evacuation time. Then to compare with the former, the participants without an eye bandage joined a experiment once again. This study has understood how fire smoke effects on one's evacuation delay by analyzing residents' evacuation time to reach the staircase and movement route, however, in this study a toxic gas is not considered because it might threaten participants not to breathe.

급기가압은 건물의 중요 부분인 피난로 공간에 공기 압력을 상승시켜 피난자와 소방관에게 연기에 의해 영향을 받지 않는 보호된 피난로(계단과 로비)를 확보하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서, 급기가압을 평가하기 위해, 창문, 방화문과 급기댐퍼에 따른 건물의 구성 요소인 방(거실), 로비(전실), 풍도에서의 압력 특성을 연구하였으며, 실험변수에 대한 중요한 정보를 얻을 수 있었다.

플랜트 사고 발생 시 현장 운전원, 제어실 운전원 및 소방관 등이 취해야 할 가장 중요한 사항은 사고 현장으로부터의 탈출과 사고 현장으로의 사고 진압 처리를 위한 진입일 것이다. 이 두 가지 중요한 행동은 서로 상반된 방향으로 진행해야 하는 조치이며, 사고 대응 이동 경로에 대한 훈련을 평상시에 훈련함으로써, 사고의 확산을 방지하고 효율적인 사고 대응을 할 수 있다. 이와 같은 필요성에 의해 본 연구에서는 플랜트 사고 대응 훈련을 위한 탈출 및 조치 경로 설계 기법을 개발하였다. 활용 방안으로는, 운전원 및 소방관들의 사고 발생 시점의 플랜트 내 실시간 위치로부터 사고 탈출 및 조치 경로를 계산하여 플랜트 안전훈련시스템에 이동 경로 정보를 제공함으로써, 안전 훈련 시나리오에 적용하여 현실적이고 효과적인 훈련 효과를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Because recently(July 14, 2011) fire occurred in the engine room of a moving taxi under Namsan Tunnel 1, 51 vehicles' driver and more than 250 passengers in the road tunnel were urgently evacuated with abandoned vehicles. Vehicle fires in Namsan Tunnel that day, Sufferers struggled to escape quickly difficult to escape the two-way by abandoned vehicles on the road and to fear many casualties by using vehicle fuel and combustible interior and the driver who is ignorant of vehicle accident continuous entered in the road tunnel had accessibility the site of fire department was more difficult. In this study, It is to investigate structure and basic materials, such as fire extinguish equipment and facilities for damage prevention and to analyze the problems and to plan improvement method of fire extinguish equipment, facilities for damage prevention and transportation facilities(Large traffic signs, Breaker, etc.) on the Namsan Tunnel that in the long-term plan is prepared to strengthen for accessibility of the site of fire department in case of Vehicle's fire.

This paper concerns the application of smoke and fire spread to road tunnel fire problems. When a road tunnel is on fire. a fire protection system of road tunnel have to offer an adequate escape space to human. Therefore, this study carried out a simulation for predicting a spreading path of smoke and fire. The evolution of the flow field is simulated with the low Reynolds number k-$\varepsilon$ turbulent model and SIMPLE algorithm based on the finite volume method.
