In this paper, an approach to determine the in-ordinal condition of a room, which is based on multi variable analysis, is proposed. According to this approach, the distance of a state from the ordinal condition is thought to be evaluated by the Mahalanobis' distance. The temperature changes of a room were measured and their statistical characteristics such as distribution type, the mean value and the standard deviation are studied. The applicability of the method for the fire detection is also investigated.

Fireproof structures using concrete, built-up panels and dry walls are usually used in walls inside fire compartments. However, demand for glass walls is emerging due to increase in interest in visibility and external appearance. In this study on steel fire resistance walls using insulation glass, fire resistance tests and performance evaluations were conducted on 60 minute fire resistance walls and exterior walls which could be applied to interior fire compartments and 90 minute fire resistance walls which could be applied to curtain walls. According to the tests, the specimens satisfied the required fire resistance performance. The finite element analysis was conducted after the tests to evaluate the fire resistance performance of the glass walls. The analysis results showed that the preliminary evaluation of fire resistance performance would be feasible.

In this study, to recognize the limitations and problems of fire safety in existing deteriorated buildings in Korea, and to analyze the fire case of Jongno Gooshiwon, the fire life safety assessment was performed and analyzed through fire egress simulation and analyzed the domestic and foreign related codes and regulations. In order to secure the fire safety of existing deteriorated buildings, it is necessary to adopt the systematic introduction and application of fire safety performance evaluation of buildings based on quantitative and objective indicated method for performance maintenance and management for fire life safety.

In this research, in order to prevent the fire of multiple users who are concerned about many human life damage, based on the statistical data of the National Fire Protection Agency's National Fire Information Center and the Fire Defense Administration Fire Defense Administration, Attempts were made on the exploratory approach to measures that can reduce the topic of. In this research, using the preventive firefighting administrative statistics of the Fire and Disaster Management Agency, we analyzed by focusing on the effectiveness of multiple users' firefighting safety education. Through analysis results we could infer that fire safety education does not have effectiveness in actual fire prevention. Through previous research, we found out that the cause is insufficient for the management of fire safety education, thereby deriving an improvement plan to develop a systematic fire safety education system.

Fire was and remains a great threat to historic buildings of wood. This threat is omnipresent and often results to irreparable property losses especially cultural heritages. Fire of historic buildings continues to increase every year. The purpose of this study is to preserve a life safety, historical heritage and architectural & cultural values by pursuing for fire safety in the historical buildings. This study shall employ two research methods: a literature review and field survey methods. The literature review shall focus on the observations of characteristics noted in fire codes. The field survey shall cover a heat analysis and fire protection equipment. A method is proposed to investigate fire codes related historical building, reported fire history Fire Codes and Regulations for modern buildings are not always applicable on the historic buildings. Old buildings, and some new buildings with architectural, historical or cultural importance may have values which cannot be measured on a monetary scale. Their protection against the damage caused by fire is considered to be one of the basic moral duties of society. It is strongly recommended, therefore, legislation for fire safety in historical buildings must be extended to a complementary relationship with 'active' fire protection measures, to provide safety in real historical building in real fire situations. The development and application of performance based Codes and the Fire Safety Engineering approach seems to be a rather reasonable and effective way to deal with this historical buildings.

A series of fire tests involving realistic solid combustible materials was conducted to quantify the heat release rate and investigate the fire growth characteristics during the initial fire growth stage. For these tests, single/double wood cribs, urethane cushion having polypropylene covers and wood crib on nylon carpet with urethane carpet padding were used as a fuel source. The fire growth coefficient of the solid combustible materials was quantified and the fire growth characteristics were compared with the $t^2$ fire scenario. The mean effective heat of combustion was evaluated by the total mass loss of fuel and total energy release concept and examined the effect of the ventilation and fire condition. The present study provides the practical information on the fire growth characteristics of solid combustible material to design to a set of fire scenarios for the fire risk analysis.

Building become higher. larger and more complex than ever before, showing abrupt changes in building structures. forms and mechanical systems. Likewise hazads of fire and the scale of fire losses become more and more greater. Therefore. considerations for fire safety take up great portion of the building design process. In this study, problems of high-rise building fires and basic directions for fire safety of high-rise building design were studied through the statistical analysis of 138 fire cases. The results of this study are summarized as follows : ·Most of the fires in high-rise building occur on the low floors and the fire frequencies are very low on the upper floors. Fire casualties are liable to be more on the upper floors than on tile floor of fire origin. ·The important causes of evacuation failures were analyzed as being late in escape and lack of stairwell enclosures. ·The main cause of vertical fire spread is lack of stairwell enclosures. However, the fire spreads mainly through the enterior windows in apartment houses. The combustible materials in buildings act on as the major factors of horizontal fire spread and the improper fire doors play role of another the critical causes. ·The basic directions for fire safety of high-rise building design put much stress firstly on the compartmentation of the buildings effectively performing the provision of safe escape routes and the safe refuse places in buildings.
