  • An increasing interest in fire safety engineering can currently be identified in Korea and overseas. The fire-resistant characteristics of spray coating material for fire protection with or without nano $Al(OH)_3$ colloid has been experimentally investigated and the results are presented in this paper. The fire-resistance characteristics of spray coating material with nano $Al(OH)_3$ were superior to those without $Al(OH)_3$. Especially, spray coating material with nano material showed that thermal characteristic in the early days was remarkably excellent.

  • Since 1970s, The Petrochemical Industry in Korea has grown rapidly by the successful economic growth. While the process became larger and more complex, hazardous chemicals have been used in large quantity, Therefore, the risk of a major accident such as fire, explosion and toxic material release has been increased. Korea has been ranked the fifth in petrochemical product capacity worldwide, also required to meet international standards on process safety management. Fire Protection System integral part of safely management in Petrochemical Plants, will be reviewed.

  • The modular beam made of steel material is wholly responsible for the load stress of the structure, therefore securing the fire-resistant capacity of the steel beam is absolutely important. The economic efficiency achieved by minimizing the thickness of the fire-resistant board attached, is also essential at the same time. Accordingly, a study of optimization of the thickness and interval of fire-resistant boards shall be conducted side by side. Therefore, in this study we have anticipated fire-resistant capacity by using a general-purpose S/W for finite elements, ABAQUS(6.7.1), in order to propose the configurable conditions that can secure the optimal fire-resisting capacity of modular beam. As a result of this analysis, it was impossible to secure the fire-resistance capacity when directly attaching fire-resistant board(30mm) on the modular board in accordance with KS F 2257-1, and the fire-resistant boards were manufactured in shape of module in consideration of its installation interval rather than direct application.

  • This paper analyzes the relation between fire shutters and fire spread by conducting fire simulation on inner space with fire shutters. Using Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), a commercial fire simulation software, the simulation is done on an ideal inner robby, where fire size and the open/close of fire shutters are varied. Our simulation environment can derive significant fire parameters such as temperature variation of fire room walls and entrances of refuge stairs, variation of carbon dioxide, and soot spread. According to the simulation results, temperature and carbon dioxide distribution in refuge stairs have little dependence on vent open or close, but the part close of fire shutters blocks soot inflow to refuge stairs.
