A rack-type warehouse has the advantage of storing a large amount in a small area by loading goods vertically. But in terms of fire risk, the fire load is very high, which can cause massive damage in the event of a fire. In the United States, research has been actively conducted to minimize the spread of vertical fires, and relevant standards have been established and operated. In Korea, research and related standards are insufficient to prevent the vertical spread of rack-type warehouse fires. In this study, an experimental study was conducted to prevent the vertical spread of a rack-type warehouse fire using a horizontal barrier and in-rack sprinklers. As a result of the test, the horizontal barrier considering the continuous flame prevented the vertical spread of the flame for a certain time. However, the horizontal barrier with continuous flame did not show the effect of preventing continuous flame. The combination of the horizontal barrier and the in-rack sprinkler prevented the vertical spread of fire effectively. In addition, the heat collecting effect through the horizontal barrier was shown and helped the early operation of the in-rack sprinklers.

External fire spread has the potential to breach vertical compartmentation and violate the fire safety strategy of a building. The traditional design solution to this has been the use of non-combustible materials and spandrel panels but recent audits show that combustible materials are widespread and included in highly complex systems. Furthermore, most jurisdictions no longer require detailing of spandrel panels under many different circumstances. These buildings require rapid investigation using rational scientific methods to be able to adequately classify the fire risk. In this work, we use an extensive experimental campaign of material-scale data to explore the critical parameters driving upward flame spread. Two criteria are outlined using two different approaches. The first evaluates the time to ignition and the time to burnout to assess the ability for a fire to spread, and can be easily determined using traditional means. The second evaluates the preheated flame length as the critical parameter driving flame spread. A wide range of cladding materials are ranked according to these criteria to show their potential propensity to flame spread. From this, designers can use conservative approaches to perform fire risk assessments for buildings with combustible materials or can be used to aid decision-making. Precise estimates of flame spread rates within complex façade systems are not achievable with the current level of knowledge and will require a substantial amount of work to make progress.

Since installing a balcony can significantly reduce the spread of fire, fire spread to the upper levels was confirmed, comparing the cases with and without balcony extension. It was confirmed that the fire can spread not only to the next higher level but also to two levels higher due to the outburst of flame which reached a significant temperature in the case without balcony, while the possibility of fire spread to the upper level reduced considerably with the balcony. this study is compared and analyzed to vertical diffusion appearance of an externally venting flame. An installed balcony is also applied to fire test 6.54kW to analyze about effect of a balcony.

To analyze vertical fire spreadability of aluminum composite panel, real scale test of aluminum composite panel and fire retardant aluminum composite panel was conducted as well as analysis of domestic code, test and domestic reaserch resulted in following conclusion. Fire spread risk assessment of aluminum Composite Panel is impossible with the current regulations (Cone Calorimeter Test). It need to changes of regulatory and combustion expanded risk assessment and regulatory changes in the test methods need to be judged. Also, there is quite a big different between the general aluminum Composite Panel and semi-non combustible of aluminum Composite Panel. However it is also deemed to be danger when present in the sidewall to the top consisting of fire spread. From now on, it is needed the study about interpretation of fire spread and sidewall of vertical fire spread analysis not only experiments for aluminum Composite Panel.

With the increase of apartments and expansion of balcony areas, fire safety issues are becoming more important. Many researchers have conducted a lot of researches to reduce vertical flame spread in the balcony when an apartment unit is in fire. However, there have rarely been studies to use balcony area as a space for fire escape and evacuation. The study aims to examine the conditions of balcony use in apartments in order to find out prevention elements from fire escape and evacuation, and to investigate residents' satisfaction with balcony. For this study, questionnaires were collected from apartment residents and workers of architectural planning and construction companies. The findings show as follows: first, the balcony is generally used as a storage in each apartment unit nowadays. Second, when fire breaks out, many storage items could disturb residents' safe escape by blocking escape route, and easily promote to spread flame vertically in the balcony.

In this study, FDS fire simulation experiments and measured wind speed by applying the exterior installation portion for blocking the spread of the fire was investigated. As a result, aluminum composite panels installed in the lower and the upper part of the panel to remove all the lower side, and then the maximum wind speed 0.24 m/s and the upper side 0.58 m/s were measured. In the FDS, the measured wind speed difference air currents are approximately 3.7 times in 12 seconds, the occurrence of 17 seconds early moment wind 2.2 m/s was measured from. Before and after the fire occurred in early of the air velocity about 39 seconds was 3.5 times difference. Such air currents caused by the temperature of the building but also by the building height was found. Turbulent flame of fire by expanding the vertical extent of damage become greatly important factor. Therefore, through the exterior installation portion of the block that can delay the spread of fire is expected that this should be taken.

샌드위치패널은 건축물의 내 외벽 및 지붕구조에 사용되며 양면의 불연성재료와 단열용 심재로 구성된 복합자재이다. 뛰어난 단열성능과 경량 및 시공의 우수한 특성 대비 화재 시 패널간 결합부위를 통해 화염이 내부로 유입되어 심재가 쉽게 용융되며 급격한 화염확산으로 인명 및 재산피해를 발생시킨다. 현행 건축법은 건축물 마감재료에 대하여 소규모 시험편에 대한 화재시험방법으로 연소성능을 파악하며 규정한 성능기준에 합격한 제품을 사용하도록 한다. 외벽 마감재료의 경우 불연 준불연 성능확보 재료를 사용하거나 화재확산방지구조를 설치하도록 규정한다. 본 연구는 외벽 마감재료에 국한되어 적용하고 있는 화재확산방지 구조를 샌드위치패널 건축물에 적용하여 수평 수직 화재확산의 위험성의 차이를 확인하고자 하였다. 이에 샌드위치패널에 대하여 ISO 13784-1 시험방법을 통한 실물화재실험과 금속구조물을 이용하여 패널간 화염확산을 차단하는 시공을 통해 화염확산방지 적용 여부에 대한 연소거동과 그 효과를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 패널 조인트 부위의 화염확산방지구조 시공은 패널 내부의 화염확산을 지연하며 이에 따른 플래시오버 시간이 지연되어 복합자재 건축물의 화재안전확보에 중요한 요인으로 작용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In case of Korea, The Large-scale fire is consistently being such as 2015 Uijeongbu Fire, 2017 Jecheon Fire, 2018 Sejong Hospital Fire. Such a fire has a problem that the fire is spreading upper due to external flame spread. As a countermeasure the fire safety, the study about axial temperature prediction of external flame spread is consistently doing. But in korea, Vertical spandrel is specified as 40cm, and improvement is urgently needed. In this study, a repair material was selected to prevent the fire from spreading to a building where a flammable exterior material was installed and then pilot construction was carried out. Also, fire safety measures for buildings constructed with flammable exterior materials were examined.

본 연구는 최근 직물커튼의 대용으로 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 버티컬 브라인드와 롤 스크린을 대상으로 방염제품과 비 방염제품의 연소차이를 규명하여 방염의 필요성을 확인하고 방염제품의 방염성능 지속성을 실험을 통하여 규명하고자 소방대상물에 설치되어 장기간 사용한 버티컬 브라인드와 롤 스크린을 수거하여 세탁 전 후의 방염성능을 확인한다. 이 결과를 토대로 방염제품의 성능을 규명하고 외국의 방염관련 법규와 국내 방염관련 법규의 비교분석을 통하여 국내 방염법규의 확대적용 필요성과 개선점을 도출함을 목적으로 한다. 연구결과, 방염제품과 비 방염제품과의 성능과 안전성은 확연한 차이를 볼 수 있었다. 방염제품은 불꽃과 접하면 바로 연소를 하며 용융하고 단지 착화하지 않으므로 연소 확대를 막을 수 있다는 이점이 있다. 반면 비방염제품은 120 cm의 시험체가 전소하는데 불과 3분도 걸리지 않는 다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이를 실제 화재에 적용시 연소확대에 큰 차이를 보일 것이다. 내세탁성이 없는 브라인드의 경우 세탁을 하면 방염성능이 현저하게 감소할 것으로 예상을 했으나 세탁전과 비교하여 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 방염브라인드도 내 세탁성을 가질 수 있음을 입증하였고 엄격한 생산과정을 통한 내구성의 유지에 관심을 가져야 하겠다.

건축물에서 화재 시 인명과 재산의 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 초기의 화염의 확산을 억제하는 것이 우선되어야 한다. 화염의 확산을 방지하기 위한 화재확산방지 대책은 일반적으로 방화구획에서의 구조부재의 내화 성능 확보, 마감재료의 연소 성능에 따른 사용 제한 등이 있다. 마감재료의 연소 성능 판단은 화염의 확산을 판단하기 위해 가장 기초적인 화재 안전 설계이지만 국내의 연소 시험은 시편 크기의 화재 시험 방법으로 연소 성능을 판단하고 있어 샌드위치패널 등과 같은 복합재료의 연소 성능을 판단하기에는 많은 제약을 가지고 있다. 특히 외벽 마감재료의 경우 내부 마감재료에 비해 드라이비트, 알루미늄복합패널, 메탈패널 등과 같은 다양한 복합재료 등이 사용되고 있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 외벽 마감재료의 국제시험규격인 ISO 13785-2 시험방법을 통해 외벽 마감재료의 실물 화재 실험을 통해 외벽 마감재료의 수직화재 확산 특성을 판단하고자 하였다.
