  • In this study, a steel frame that realized the second floor of a structure was fabricated in referring to NFPA 13. In addition, a riser pipe system with groove joints was installed, and a seismic simulation test was performed using static cyclic loading. Cyclic loading tests on the maximum allowable side sway of seismic design standards for buildings in Korea were conducted using actuators to analyze the seismic behavior of the riser pipe system and major piping elements due to the deformation of the steel frame structure or the displacement-dominant behavior caused by the relative displacement between the structural members in the event of a seismic load. Moreover, the deformation angle of the riser pipe system was measured using an image measurement system because it is difficult to measure using the conventional sensors.

  • Recently, rural housing in urban areas has been increasing due to the improvement of income level. With the increase of the construction of the power house, the installation of the heating system using the harmonious fuel for the purpose of heating and the beauty of the room is increasing rapidly. In addition to the increasing use of firewood heating equipment, the incidence of fire is also increasing. Analysis of the National Fire Data System of the Fire Department The result of the analysis of the National Fire Data System Many parts of the fire are incinerated by the accumulation of tar due to the incompleteness of periodic cleaning inside the cylinder. The distance between the fire extinguisher and the combustible materials such as ceiling, Resulting in fire. In addition, it was found that much of the fire of the firewood heating system in the time zone occurs during the sleeping and resting time and there is not enough time for the residents to cope. This, in turn, causes serious harm to the lives and property of the users of the pyrotechnic heating system. Therefore, in this study, domestic and foreign standards and laws related to fuel oil heating facilities were analyzed and 12 cases of fire accidents were analyzed. Through the revision of the fire prevention and firefighting facilities installation and maintenance law, the installation standards of the alarm and fire extinguishing facilities were presented.

  • This study is based on the principle of solar power system and fire breakout. The result of the survey indicates that a solar power system is vulnerable to fire due to lack of maintenance after the installation. Currently the national fire safety agency does not have standards and legal provisions for the installation and maintenance of solar power facilities. Therefore, it increases the risk of fire breakouts as well as possibility of electric shock for the firefighters during fire fighting. This results possible damages to the human and equipments. In this study is proposing an automatic fire extinguishing system to reduce the power generation of solar panels during fire breakouts. Also, propose an over load current alarm system and fire prevention measures for fire fighters. The results of this study will be used as basic data for further fire testing of solar power systems.

  • In many fire emergencies, the audible fire alarm signals are very important to save the occupant's life. But as the sound insulation of building elements has been improved, it is more difficult for occupant to recognize the fire alarm signals when the fire alarm worked. This is the study to show the sound attenuation of the fire alarm sounder system in apartment buildings. We measured and analyzed the sound attenuation level in 17 units, and the results were compared with the minimum sound level at sleeping area by NFPA(National Fire Protection Association) 72. When only the fire alarm worked in stair hall, the sound levels in bedroom were in the range of $30.6{\sim}42.8dB(A)$ and the differences between sound level and ambient sound level in bedrooms were in the range of $7.1{\sim}13.8dB(A)$. And when the emergency broadcasting device in the livingroom and the fire alarm worked simultaneously, the sound levels in bedrooms were in the range of $54.2{\sim}63.0dBA$. Finally, it was showed that the fire alarm sounder system didn't give a sufficient sound level in bedroom to awake out of sleep.

  • An atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APcI) LC/MS/MS method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of fluoroquinolones (norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, danofloxacin) residues in eggs. The spiked and blank samples were extracted from whole eggs using 50mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The extract was cleaned up by passage though $Oasis^{(R)}$ MAX extraction cartridge for solid-phase extraction followed by elution with 4% formic acid in methanol. The extract of sample was separated on a Waters $Atlantis^{TM}$ $dC_{18}$ reversed-phase column ($4.6{\times}150mm,\;5{\mu}m$) and analyzed by APcI positive mode mass spectrometry. The mobile phase consists of aqueous 0.2% nonafluoropentanoic acid (NFPA) and methanol. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using the precursor to product ion combinations of m/z $320\;{\dashrightarrow}\;302,\;332\;{\dashrightarrow}\;314,\;360\;{\dashrightarrow}\;342$ and m/z $358\;{\dashrightarrow}\;340$ were used to quantify norfloxacin (NOR), ciprofloxacin (CIP), enrofloxacin (ENR) and danofloxacin (DAN), respectively. The limits of quantification (LOQ) were 7.8ppb for NOR, 8.5ppb for CIP, 8.9ppb for ENR, and 4.8ppb for DAN. Average recoveries of fortified sample at levels of 0.025 to 0.1 ppm were estimated 71.29% for NOR, 75.27% for CIP, 85.51% for ENR and 81.22% for DAN. These results could be applied for the confirmation and quantification in eggs.

  • Uniform laws and regulations and reasonable design is necessary for the prevention of possible fire in super high-rise building. To this end, this study focused on super high-rise and massive building-related architectural review performance-based design (PBD) evaluation disaster impact assessment (DIA), and provided fire engineering measures for improving fire prevention on the basis of performance-based design by analyzing the buildings subject to these systems and problems in terms of contents. Above all, in the aspect of law and standard improvement, first, with regard to dual parts of two statutes though significant portion of them has the same contents in performance-based design (PBD) evaluation and disaster impact assessment (DIA), it is necessary to operate the systems after making them conform with each other and consolidating or abolishing them. Second, if it is impossible to consolidate or abolish performance-based design (PBD) evaluation and disaster impact assessment (DIA), the areas of contents of performance-based design (PBD) evaluation and disaster impact assessment (DIA) should be precisely classified and established. Next, engineering improvement measures against fire hazard in super high-rise building are as follows. First, it is necessary to revise the provisions of straight-run stairs in special escape stairs. And in case of installing a mechanical smoke exhaust system instead of smoke vent, sandwich pressurization used in the United Stated should be permitted. Second, with regard to smoke control system for special escape stairs, it was shown that there was necessity for revising the standards in order to enable air to be supplied according to section in case of fire, carrying out performance-based design, and the like from the early design stages to the completion stages. In the future, it is expected that an epoch-making contribution will be made to a decrease in casualties and property damage due to fire in case of super high-rise building where the results can be reflected after carrying out a study on maintenance and carrying out an additional study on other considerations of super high-rise building together with reflecting the improvement measures provided in the above-mentioned study.
