포소화약제는 물과 혼합시, 물의 표면장력을 저하시켜 공기와 혼합 교반을 통하여 거품을 발생시키는 약제로 소화에 이용되는 소화용수의 효율적 이용을 위하여 이용된다. 특히, 유류화재에 사용시 유면을 거품으로 덮어 질식소화에 적합한 특성을 가지고 있다. 포소화약제는 발포 방식에 따라 저발포, 중발포, 고발포로 나누어지는데 국내의 포소화약제 기준에는 저발포와 고발포의 2가지만을 규정하고 있어, 소화에 더욱 효과적이라 평가되는 중발포 소화기의 이용이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 휴대용 중발포 소화기를 이용하여 발포실험과 소화실험을 실시하고, 저발포, 중발포, 고발포의 특성을 분석하였다. 결과로 3% 농도로 중발포 소화기 이용시 26.1배의 팽창률을 보였으며, 20단위 화재모형을 32초에 소화시킴으로써 중발포 소화기의 발포, 소화능력을 검증하였다.

This study established analysis theory for flow characteristics prediction of the spray nozzle and predicted discharge and discharge type of the spray nozzle from numerical analysis. It could know that discharge type of the spray nozzle from prediction data determine to position of nozzle and needle, and flow characteristics prediction of the spray nozzle could know that the characteristics according to shape of nozzle and needle is decided. New model of the spray nozzle that can maximize efficiency of fire suppression from flow characteristics and prediction data of the spray nozzle is presented. The result of this study utilize to data necessary to develop new model of the spray nozzle. Also the result of this study wish to contribute to resource technology security of the spray nozzle, technique ripple effect enlargement of same kind industry and technical development activation of fire protection field etc.

본 연구에서는 산불발생 시 산림 내 연료들의 화재위험성을 분석하고자 산불에 취약한 소나무류(적송, 해송, 리기다소나무)의 솔방울을 대상으로 착화특성과 발연특성을 고찰하였다. 연료는 대형 산불이 빈번하게 발생하는 강원도 동해안 지역에서 채취하였다. 적송과 해송의 솔방울은 26%와 27%로서 함수율 차이가 크지 않았으며, 발화온도는 $380^{\circ}C$ 정도인 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 리기다소나무의 솔방울은 33%의 수분을 함유하였으며, 발화온도는 $352^{\circ}C$ 정도인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 적송 솔방울의 최대연기밀도는 924Ds로서 해송의 599Ds와 리기다소나무의 605Ds 보다 상대적으로 높았으며, 690s~732s 시간영역에서 최대값을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

Safety related workers, such as firefighters, have to wear a protective helmet. The Development of Helmets for safety is in progress to promote the wearable device industry. Several accidents caused by negligence in recent days have raised public attention to safety. For this reason, the amount of national budget funding for the study of fire-fighting and smart safety helmets has increased. However, most previous studies have focused on safety, rather than the application of new technologies based on physical attributes, especially the characteristics of head shape and size, even though fire helmets play the critical role of protection from flames and external shocks etc. in an emergency. This paper will present the smart technologies and newly developed designs for safety helmets that are personalized for each firefighter, based on the characteristics of their head, and will help a rescue operation to be much more safe and efficient.

The insurance industry is highly competitive since it is difficult to differentiate one company's service from another. This paper examines how Ankuk Fire & Marine Insurance has differentiated its service and improved its competitive edge against others by using electronic data interchange (EDI). In order to improve its service level, Ankuk Fire Insurance has significantly reduced paper work by transmitting information electronically to its customers. This was possible with standardized product codes and databases which were installed both on the Ankuk and customer premises. Ankuk Fire Insurance transmits its customer's insurance information to the customer's database instead of hand-carrying or mailing it. The main benefits of this has been: (1) fewer errors as data does not need to be re-entered, (2) faster customer service with electronic data delivery, and (3) better quality customer service due to highly structured relationships with customers. EDI will soon be available to all insurance companies due to the goverment's aggressive promotion of a KTNet plan. Ankuk Insurance, therefore, needs to adopt the standardized protocol recommended by KTNet and develop new products which will give them a competitive edge and minimize the possibilities of losing their clients to other insurance firms.

In the case of fire, surface treatment agents used in external insulation finishing methods are substances that are vulnerable to fire due to thin finishes and the combustion of polymers. In this study, it was expected that the performance of surface preparation mortars could be improved by using expandable graphite with excellent thermal performance. Experimental results showed that the mechanical properties of surface preparation mortar were improved by using the fly ash and silica fume. Surface treatment materials using expanded graphite have a characteristic of expanding when a fire occurs. It has been shown that heat-swellable surface treatment materials can reduce the penetration of heat sources into the surface of synthetic insulation.

In offshore installations, fires cause the structure to lose its rigidity and it leads to structural integrity and stability problems. The Passive Fire Protection (PFP) system slows the transfer rate of fire heat and helps prevent the collapse of structures and fatality. Especially, intumescent epoxy coating is widely used in the offshore industry, and not only is the material cost expensive, but it also takes a lot of time and cost for construction. Several studies have been conducted on the efficient application and optimal design of the PFP system. However, the mechanical properties and the strength of the PFP material have not been considered. In addition, researches on the correlation between the thickness of PFP and the structural behavior were insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the thermal and mechanical effects of the PFP on the structure when it is applied to the structural member. In particular, it is intended to resolve the change in strength characteristics of the structural members as the thickness of the PFP increases.

This research exposes the process of carbonization of solid waste from the city and the method of activated, as well as the process of meso-porous under several test conditions. In addition, it is expected that the active carbon obtained through this process can be used as filter for air and sewage treatment, and can absorb dioxin(as almost 60-80% of meso-porous and porous properties area) unlike the existing active carbon.
