Post-earthquake fire (PEF) can lead to a rapid collapse of buildings damaged partially as a result of prior earthquake. Almost all standards and codes for the design of structures against earthquake ignore the risk of PEF, and thus buildings designed using those codes could be too weak when subjected to a fire after an earthquake. An investigation based on sequential analysis inspired by FEMA356 is performed here on the Immediate Occupancy, Life Safety and Collapse Prevention performance levels of structures, designed to the ACI 318-08 code, after they are subjected to an earthquake level with PGA of 0.35g. This investigation is followed by a fire analysis of the damaged structures, examining the time taken for the damaged structures to collapse. As a point of reference, a fire analysis is also performed for undamaged structures and before the occurrence of earthquake. The results indicate that the vulnerability of structures increases dramatically when a previously damaged structure is exposed to PEF. The results also show that the damaging effects of post-earthquake fire are exacerbated when initiated from the second and third floor. Whilst the investigation is made for a certain class of structures (conventional buildings, intermediate reinforced structure, 3 stories), the results confirm the need for the incorporation of post-earthquake fire into the process of analysis and design, and provides some quantitative measures on the level of associated effects.

Modern systems development becomes more and more complicated due to the need on the ever-increasing capability of the systems. In addition to the complexity issue, safety concern is also increasing since the malfunctions of the systems under development may result in the accidents in both the test and evaluation phase and the operation phase. Light rail transit(LRT) with passenger capacity between bus and subway is driven by an unmanned control, so safety issues of LRT in emergency shall be considered more carefully than other rolling stock. Modern railway system is a complex system and many actions in emergency are required. In this view, interoperability approach is effective to identify the related elements in emergency. In this paper, we propose the method to generate the fire response scenario of unmann ed LRT based on the outputs of systems engineering architecture design methodology. The proposed method is could be contributed to establish more reliable and applicable fire response scenario.

Fire incident in buildings is common, so the fire safety design of the framed structure is imperative, especially for the unprotected or partly protected bare steel frames. However, software for structural fire analysis is not widely available. As a result, the performance-based structural fire design is urged on the basis of using user-friendly and conventional nonlinear computer analysis programs so that engineers do not need to acquire new structural analysis software for structural fire analysis and design. The tool is desired to have the capacity of simulating the different fire scenarios and associated detrimental effects efficiently, which includes second-order P-D and P-d effects and material yielding. Also the nonlinear behaviour of large-scale structure becomes complicated when under fire, and thus its simulation relies on an efficient and effective numerical analysis to cope with intricate nonlinear effects due to fire. To this end, the present fire study utilizes a second-order elastic/plastic analysis software NIDA to predict structural behaviour of bare steel framed structures at elevated temperatures. This fire study considers thermal expansion and material degradation due to heating. Degradation of material strength with increasing temperature is included by a set of temperature-stress-strain curves according to BS5950 Part 8 mainly, which implicitly allows for creep deformation. This finite element stiffness formulation of beam-column elements is derived from the fifth-order PEP element which facilitates the computer modeling by one member per element. The Newton-Raphson method is used in the nonlinear solution procedure in order to trace the nonlinear equilibrium path at specified elevated temperatures. Several numerical and experimental verifications of framed structures are presented and compared against solutions in literature. The proposed method permits engineers to adopt the performance-based structural fire analysis and design using typical second-order nonlinear structural analysis software.

FDS를 사용하여 대규모 클린룸에서의 화재에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 먼저 격자크기를 검토하여 크기가 $0.5{\times}0.5{\times}0.2m^3$인 격자를 사용하였다. 화재가 발생했을 때 온도와 가시거리, 일산화탄소의 성능위주설계 인명안전기준에 따라 안전을 확인하기 위하여 3개의 대규모 클린룸에서의 화재를 대상으로 하였다. 스프링클러가 작동하지 않는 경우에도 클린룸 모두 온도가 기준보다 낮아 안전함을 확인하였다. 또한 화재로 인한 가시거리의 감소와 일산화탄소농도도 무시할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to measure the change in evacuation time at high schools according to the change in hallway width using an evacuation simulation program and to analyze the result of such change. In order to measure the evacuation time according to the change in the hallway width according to the 「Rules on the Standards for Evacuation and Fire Protection Structures of Buildings」 and to analyze the change in evacuation time resulted from the increase in the number of occupants, a scenario was constructed by applying the 「performance-oriented design method and standard for firefighting facilities, etc.」. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the evacuation time was the shortest when the width of the hallway was the widest, which was 3m. On the other hand, the evacuation time took the longest at 1.8m, which was the width of the second narrowest hallway. For the safety of high school students who spend a lot of time at school, it is necessary to secure a wide hallway width when building a new school or to provide periodic safety education in the case of an existing school whose hallways are considered narrow.

본 연구는 화재전파해석 모델을 이용하여 화재 위험성 평가에 적용되는 설계화재 구성의 적용가능성을 파악하고자 한다. 화재전파해석을 위해 열중량분석과 시편연소실험이 수행되었으며 실험에서 얻어진 물성을 FDS 열해리 모델에 적용하여 격자크기에 따른 화재해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 전체적인 화재성장특성은 실화재 실험결과와 큰 차이를 보였으나 초기 피크 발열량과 전체 방출 열에너지는 약 30% 이내에서 유사한 예측결과를 보였다. 본 연구의 해석모델은 화재성장율이나 최대발열량 도달시간 등과 같은 화재성장특성을 예측하는데 한계를 보였다. 그러나 지속적인 모델의 개선 및 재료 물성의 상세연구를 통해 설계화재시나리오 구성에 있어서 화재모델의 적용성이 있음을 보여준다.

국내 복합영상관의 단일 가연물을 대상으로 실물 화재실험이 수행되었으며, 측정된 열발생률(HRR)에 대한 디자인 화재곡선 방법(General 및 2-stage methods)에 따른 최대 HRR 및 화재성장률에 대한 정량적 차이가 검토되었다. 가연물의 용도 및 화재하중의 관점에서 대기공간과 영화상영관으로 구분되어, 총 12개의 가연물이 선정되었다. 주요 결과로서, 2-stage method 통해 산출된 최대 HRR 및 화재성장률은 General method의 결과와 정량적으로 큰 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 초기 화재단계의 보다 정확한 화재성장률을 고려할 수 있는 2-stage method의 활용은 정확한 ASET과 RSET 뿐만 아니라 화재감지기 및 소화설비의 작동시간을 보다 정확히 예측하는데 매우 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents a designing method for enhancing fire resistance of steel box bridge girders (closed steel box bridge girder supporting a thin concrete slab) through taking into account such parameters namely; fire severity, type of longitudinal stiffeners (I, L, and T shaped), and number of longitudinal stiffeners. A validated 3-D finite element model, developed through the computer program ANSYS, is utilized to go over the fire response of a typical steel box bridge girder using the transient thermo-structural analysis method. Results from the numerical analysis show that fire severity and type of longitudinal stiffeners welded on bottom flange have significant influence on fire resistance of steel box bridge girders. T shaped longitudinal stiffeners applied on bottom flange can highly prevent collapse of steel box bridge girders towards the end of fire exposure. Increase of longitudinal stiffeners on bottom flange and web can slightly enhance fire resistance of steel box bridge girders. Rate of deflection-based criterion can be reliable to evaluate fire resistance of steel box bridge girders in most fire exposure cases. Thus, T shaped longitudinal stiffeners on bottom flange incorporated into bridge fire-resistance design can significantly enhance fire resistance of steel box bridge girders.
