Fire characteristics of a typical apartment building in Korea was studied through full scale experiment and zone model simulation. The fire was ignited at the living room and allowed to spread to other parts of a single unit in a five storied apartment building. Various data including temperatures, species concentrations, and images were collected in the experiment. A zone model(CFAST) was used to analyze the same apartment building that represents the average households in Korea. The results were compared with a full scale experiments. While CFAST allows one compartment involved with fire, the experiment allowed the fire to spread to other compartments. Therefore, the comparison between experimental data and Zone-Model data is valid until the living-room fire spread to other parts of the apartment. Flashover occurred at approximately 380 seconds in a fire experiment, and at approximately 420 seconds in Zone-Model. Based on all of data between experimental data and Zone-Model data, it is concluded that the safe escape time is about 250 seconds.

선진 각국에서는 방화안전의 구현과 소방기술의 발전을 위하여 화재실험을 통하여 화재현상을 관측, 공학적으로 파악하려는 노력을 경주하여 왔다. 실물화재 실험은, 건축 공간의 안전을 확보하기 위한 공법개발과, 계획방법의 발전, 소화시스템 성능 기준의 결정을 위하여 시행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 국내거주상황을 대표하는 공동주택을 대상으로 실물화재 실험을 시도하여, 실험기술 자체를 확보함과 동시에, 공간화재예측에 요구되는 기초데이터를 획득하고, 취약부위를 도출하므로써 소기의 결과를 이끌어 내었다.

본 논문은 주택 실물화재실험에 의한 화재감지기 응답특성에 관한 연구로서 철거가 예정된 연립주택을 화재실험대상으로 선정하여 현재 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 감지기 종류인 열감지기(차동식, 정온식, 아날로그식)와 연기감지기(광전식, 아날로그식, 단독경보형)를 주택내부에 설치여 화재감지기의 응답특성을 분석하고, 추가적으로 건물내부로의 화염전파 및 화재확대를 관찰하기 위해 열전대를 설치하여 온도변화를 측정하였다. 실험결과 주택에서 효과적인 화재감지시스템을 구축하기 위해서는 연기감지기가 열감지기보다 주택용 감지기로 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

When evaluating energy balance and temperature in reduced-scale fire experiments, which are conducted as an alternative to full-scale fire experiments, it is important to consider the similarity in the scale among these experiments. In this paper, a method considering the similarity of energy balance is proposed for setting the conditions for reduced-scale experiments of mechanically ventilated compartment fires. A small-scale fire experiment consisting of various cases with different compartment geometries (aspect ratios between 0.2 and 4.7) and heights of vents and fire sources was conducted under mechanical ventilation, and the energy balance in the quasi-steady state was evaluated. The results indicate the following: (1) although the compartment geometry varies the energy balance in a mechanically ventilated compartment, the variation in the energy balance can be evaluated irrespective of the compartment size and geometry by considering scaling factor F (∝h_effA_wR_T, where h_eff is the effective heat transfer coefficient, A_w is the total wall area, and R_T is the ratio of the spatial mean gas temperature to the exhaust temperature); (2) the value of R_T, which is a part of F, reflects the effects of the compartment geometry and corresponds to the distributions of the gas temperature and wall heat loss.

IMO MSC/circ. 1165 규정에 따라 미분무수를 이용한 선박 기관구역($20m{\times}15m{\times}10m$)에서의 실물화재 소화실험을 수행하였다. K-factor 2.4인 노즐을 사용하였으며 작동압력은 80 bar이다. 미분무수의 화재진압 특성을 수치적으로 예측하기 위하여 FDS를 사용하여 실험과 같은 조건에서의 전산시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 전산 시뮬레이션 결과 화재 전산 시뮬레이션 기법이 화재소화시간 예측에는 한계를 가지나, IMO MSC/circ. 1165 규정의 공간 내 온도분포 제어 성능의 예측을 위해서 유용하게 활용될 수 있음을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 어린이집 화재 시 열 및 연기의 거동 특성을 파악하기 위하여 재개발 예정지의 어린이집에서 실험이 실시되었다. 실험대상 어린이집은 2층 구조로 되어있으며, 각 층의 연면적은 252 $m^2$이다. 가연물로는 헵탄 36리터를 사용하였다. 한 변의 길이가 0.8 m인 정사각형 화원을 사용하였으며, 정상상태에서 최대 열방출율은 약 1.7MW이다. 실험동안 연기의 이동 및 온도 변화를 측정하였다. 1층 복도에서, 화재 발생 1분 후 연기가 1.4 m 높이까지 하강하였으며, 화재 발생 약 4분 후 복도 전체가 연기로 가득 찼다. 2층 대부분의 영역에서 온도가 $70^{\circ}C$ 이하로 유지되었으나 실내가 연기로 가득 찼다.

In the case of the fire outburst within a partitioned space, it can disappear inside it through smoldering process if the fire cannot obtain sufficient imflammability. On the contrary, if it obtains it, the fire is not restricted within the room, spreading to the higher levels beyond outside windows and the compartment room. The method to prevent the fire spread through windows is considered to build a balcony or equip with sprinkler facilities. This case study is to identify which effects and controlibility a balcony brings about on the spread of fire through a full scale model experiment. In order to understand the effects of fire spread on the upper levels of the room on fire by changing the length of balcony, the temperature was measured, radiant heat was investigated, and products of combustion were analyzed. The result showed that when fire occured, longer length of the balcony, which linked to the outside wall of the apartments, led to the blocking of the fire spread, lower level of radiant heat, and significantly less transfer of toxic gases, and the driving force of the outburst of flame was identified as the attractive force due to the turbulence of uncombusted gases, which exist on the upper level of the outbursting flame.

The onset of extreme fire behaviour in a mine drift with longitudinal ventilation was analysed. A fire in a mine drift with continuous fuel load, involving several separate fires may lead to flames tilted horizontally and filling up the entire cross section. This will lead to earlier ignition, higher fire growth rate, higher fire spread rate and a severe fire behaviour. The focus has been on what changes take place at the onset and signs of the impending phenomenon. It was found that the fire gas temperature at the ceiling level provided a poor indicator. At the downstream far-field region of the fire, the sudden temperature increase at the lowest levels of the cross section and the sudden increase in flow velocities would provide signs of extreme fire behaviour. The corresponding full-scale heat release rates of the experiments at the onset of extreme fire behaviour were found to be very high for mining applications but not necessarily for tunnel fires. The heat release rate threshold for a mine drift with smaller cross-sectional dimensions would decrease considerably, increasing the likelihood of occurrence. The distance between the fuel items will play an important role during the initiation of horizontal flames.

This paper presents an investigation on the fire resistance of high strength fiber reinforced concrete filled box columns (CFBCs) under combined temperature and loading. Two groups of full-size specimens were fabricated. The control group was a steel box filled with high-strength concrete (HSC), while the experimental group consisted of a steel box filled with high strength fiber concrete (HFC) and two steel boxes filled with fiber reinforced concrete. Prior to fire test, a constant compressive load (i.e., load level for fire design) was applied to the column specimens. Thermal load was then applied on the column specimens in form of ISO 834 standard fire curve in a large-scale laboratory furnace until the set experiment termination condition was reached. The test results show that filling fiber concrete can improve the fire resistance of CFBC. Moreover, the configuration of longitudinal reinforcements and transverse stirrups can significantly improve the fire resistance of CFBCs.
