In this study, it analyses the problems of the Fire Compartment in Goyang Bus Terminal. Based on analysed data, it is confirmed the necessity of the Smoke Compartment installation for Protecting the Smoke Spread in Large-Scale Buildings using of FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulation). In addition it suggest that the necessity of Smoke Compartment application method and Development of Design Guideline.

In the present study, a forest fire spread was simulated with a three-dimensional, fully-transient, physics-based, computer simulation program. Physics-based fire simulation is based on the governing equations of fluid dynamics, combustion and heat transfer. The focus of the present study is to perform parametric study to simulate fire spread through flat and inclined wildland with vegetative fuels like trees or grass. The fire simulation was performed in the range of the wind speeds and degrees of inclination. From the results, the effect of the various parameters of the forest fire on the fire spread behavior was analyzed for the future use of the simulation in the prediction of fire behavior in the complex terrain.

Recently, the fire safety of road tunnels has been important issues in South Korea. However, proper fire safety regulations has not made for road tunnels. Due to geographical challenges in South Korea, road tunnels should be constructed to secure stable traffic flows. In the Guidelines for Installing and Managing Disaster Prevention Facilities of Road Tunnels (NFSC 603), main target vehicles are passenger cars. This guidelines cannot support big fires from larger vehicles such as cargo, oil trucks. In this study, fire safety for a road tunnel in port area was analyzed with fire dynamics theory under cargo truck fire scenario. Sujunsan road tunnel in Busan city was chosen as a target tunnel, which links between Busan port and highways to increase cargo shipping. The results show the limitations of present guidelines (NFSC 603) for road tunnel from large fire situations.

The study performed an actual fire experiment in order to propose the heat release rate of automobile that is the most basic architectural element for the fire safety design in a tunnel, whose importance has been recognized as the underground traffic tunnels are planned in Korean metropolitan cities. The heat release rate of a van is measured by the large scale calorimeter, in which the law of oxygen consumption is applied, and the fire expansion characteristics in a tunnel by placing two passenger cars nearby one another in the tunnel. As the results, the heat release rate of the van was revealed to be 5.9 MW, and carbon monoxide was emitted 482 ppm at a maximum. In case of two passenger car experiment for the fire expansion characteristics, the adjacent car was ignited about 3 minutes 30 seconds after the fire occurrence, and the complete fire was developed after 15 minutes. The maximum heat release was 9 MW. The results from the actual fire experiment can be an important input data for future quantitative analysis as well as an element applicable to a tunnel disaster preventive equipment design.

Recently as urban buildings become higher and deeper by reason of economic growth and concentration of population into cities, the supporting technology becomes largely advanced and many buildings have been constructed making use of new materials and structure methods. As these large buildings accomodate large population and its insides are variously used for uses, disasters in buildings have been growing day by day. One of the main reasons of the disasters are the varity of building functions. Among the disasters, the damages by fire accidents become very serious as losses of lives and property become increasing. Here, although there shoule be many other ways to minimize these disasters, 1 would review choice of interior materials of buildings and improvement of blind points and week points in construction methods for the purpose.

Recently, the importance of an early response has been emphasized due to the large fire. The most efficient method of extinguishing a large fire is early response to a small flame. To implement this solution, we propose a fire detection mechanism based on a deep learning artificial intelligence. In this study, a small amount of data sets is manipulated by an image augmentation technique using rotating, tilting, blurring, and distorting effects in order to increase the number of the data sets by 5 times, and we study the flame detection algorithm using faster R-CNN.

This research shows the method about the auto extinguishing system construction for the subway train's safety operation. The safety system is the total auto extinguishing system which it is able to overcome the emergency situation, to see fast using the sensing system, to interface using the communication system, finally to extinguish the large-scale fire happened. The system model is the total disaster mitigation system model preventing the arson or terror. and to apply a method of the fire extinguishing system using reinforced fire extinguishing agency in the world first. It is to use the subway train and the railroad train which is prevented and mitigated the large-scale demage the same as the arson and the terror.

Cleanroom fires were simulated by using Fire Dynamics Simulator. A grid size of $0.5{\times}0.5{\times}0.2m^3$ was selected following review of grid sizes. Fires in three large cleanrooms were investigated to confirm safety by applying the requirements on temperature, visibility, and carbon monoxide concentration in performance based design. The worst situation without sprinkler system and air flow of 0.1 m/s downward in the cleamrooms was considered. It was confirmed that all the three cleanrooms were safe in case without sprinklers since the temperature was below the safety requirement. Decrease in visibility and carbon monoxide concentration due to the fires were negligible.

Interest in fire prevention/fighting has been increased by large fire. It is important to install/manage the detector, alarm, firefighting facility, evacuation route and so on to minimize the damage from fire. Chemical plant is generally constructed by steel structure. So fireproofing is significantly required to chemical plant because steel structure should endure during fire. Currently, fireproofing should be applied up to 6m from ground by local regulation. But chemical plant can handle the large amount of flammable materials or only non-flammable materials. Required of fireproofing height by fire magnitude is studied in this thesis.
