  • 최근 건축물의 초고층화에 따른 커튼월 시공에 따라 유리의 비중이 증가하고 있으나 커튼월 구조는 바람, 지진, 화재에 있어서 취약할 것이라 판단되어 국내외 건축용 유리 및 커튼월의 안전기준에 대한 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 국내의 유리 기준은 단열 및 내풍압 성능에만 집중되어있으며 화재 및 지진, 안전 성능에 대한 기준이 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 국내에 적합한 유리 안전성 평가 프로세스를 구축하기 위한 기초 데이터를 마련하기 위해 유리 내화 실험을 시행하였다. 실험 결과, 일반유리, 복층유리, 강화유리, 접합유리 순의 파열 시간을 가지는 것을 알 수 있었으나 시험체 4개가 화재 초기에 파열되는 것으로 나타나 상층부로의 수직 화재 확대 위험성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

  • In recent years, the number of cases caused by people such as forest fires has been increasing, so it is very important for the whole nation to prevent and practice forest fires. In addition, due to climate change around the world, many lives and disaster losses are increasing due to forest fire-related disasters, and in the last 10 years (2014-2023), there have been 5,668 forest fires and 40,037 hectares of damage, which is equivalent to 56,000 football fields, resulting in 19 casualties and 285.4 billion won in damages. Now, in order to improve the understanding and awareness of forest fires among all the people, the government should actively inform the people about how to act in the event of a forest fire by making the people's action tips related to forest fires easy to understand and practical through public relations activities. In addition, the public and the government should work together to prevent and prepare for forest fires before they occur.

  • 본 연구는 건축물 화재성상 시뮬레이션 개발을 위한 기초 연구 자료로서 건축물 화재시 높은 비중의 가연물과 좁은 이격거리로 인하여 화재 발생시 급격히 연소확대될 위험성이 높고, 개구분출화염이 건물 화재확산의 중요한 요인이나 이 분야에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이며, 또한 화재성상 예측시 기존 시뮬레이션에서 화재확산의 중요한 인자인 바람의 요소가 고려되지 않았다. 이에 대하여 개구분출 실물화재실험을 통하여 유풍시 개구분출화염에 기인한 수식을 도출하였으며, 이를 기반으로 향후 기존의 바람 인자를 고려하지 않은 화재성상 예측 시뮬레이션에 적용 가능성을 모색하여 국내 실정에 맞는 화재 성상 시뮬레이션 개발 구축에 대한 기초자료로 제시한다.

  • A large number of Computer-based fire growth and Evacuation model have been developed for various purpose and many of these are widely used for research and engineering. And Most of Egress simulation program are ordinary case only related to human behavior But Egress safety Evaluation is very closed to smog movement. It is well known that the Egress simulation program made by Tokyo Fire Department are related to smog movement. So It is the aim of this study to investigate on the Development of Egress Simulation for Evacuation Safety Evaluation of Tokyo Fire Dept. Department in Japan.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the disaster experience (accidents, education etc) and the concern for disaster preparedness of college students. Methods: This research design was a descriptive study. Data were collected from November 1, 2011 to December 30, 2011 and analyzed by the SPSS PASW statistics 18.0 program. Results: There were statistical significances in major (p<.050), grade(p<.001), and a completed disaster class(p<.001) between general characteristics and concern for disaster preparedness. The major disaster events that occurred from 2003 to 2010 in Korea were the 2007 Taean oil spill (85.4%), the 2003 Daegu subway fire (82.7%), and the 2008 Sungnyemun fire (62.9%). The possible disaster events in Korea were hurricanes, floods, fires (including wildfire), and the shutdown of communication lines. Subjects learned about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (18.2%), first aid for bleeding and fractures (17.8%), a fire drill (14.3%), and an escape drill for an earthquake (14.0%). They wanted to learn the fire drill (11.33%), the escape drill for an earthquake (9.7%), a war drill (9.0%), a disaster confrontation drill on the subway (8.6%), and a fire and explosion evacuation drill (8.4%). Half of subjects were not prepared with emergency supplies for disasters because they thought that a disaster would not occur. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop the disaster educational programs according to subject's demands in Korea.

  • The pipes and cables buried below ground, which may have helped to improve city landscape, is becoming direct and indirect causes for various kinds of disaster in Korea. Every advantage from the use of utility tunnel can not be converted in a dollar since there is associated huge contribution to safe urban environment. The Korean government has a certain role to play in helping promote utility tunnels for the past years. Most recently, many utility tunnels have been being checked to find out safety level, especially fire safety level, and main problems and shortcomings are checked out as a result of this survey. Because the fire safety level of existing tunnel is low, possible approaches and solutions are presented according to the analysis of fire safety level. In order for these approaches to be effective, existing tunnel should be supplemented appropriately and extra equipment must be installed according to the solutions. Hopefully, by performing both improvement of existing utility tunnel that provide a fire/disaster proof and introducing new types of tunnel which influence utility management and maintenance, the recent disaster rate in Korea can be diminished up to a desirable rate in a near future.

  • Purpose: When a disaster occurs, information is collected and sent indiscriminately to the disaster safety situation room, making it difficult to make quick and correct decisions. Therefore, in this study, both the field response team and the situation room attempted to derive the essential information elements for disaster management so that they can identify and respond optimally. Method: In this study, the actual disaster response process was first identified based on the case of large-scale fire disasters in multi-dense facilities. Afterwards, essential information on disaster management was obtained by analyzing the standard manual for large-scale fire crisis management in multi-dense facilities and the fire situation report form prepared at the time of disaster. Result: The Essential information on disaster management was divided into four stages: situation reception·reporting·transmission, total response·regional emergency rescue control group·regional disaster safety task force, operation stage of central emergency rescue control group·central disaster safety task force, and recovery stage. Since then, the information to be collected at each stage and the information relevant to core tasks are presented. Conclusion: The Essential information on disaster management thus obtained can serve as a guide for the person who collects information on site to collect information efficiently. In addition, it is expected that the situation room in charge of disaster response decision-making will receive only the information necessary for decision making, so that it is possible to make a quick situation decision and more efficient disaster situation management.
