In any subject area related to the provision of safety, failure is typically the most effective mechanism for evoking rapid reform and an introspective assessment of the accepted operating methods and standards within a professional body. In the realm of tall buildings the most notable failures in history, those of the WTC towers, widely accepted as fire induced failures, have not to any significant extent affected the way they are designed with respect to fire safety. This is clearly reflected in the surge in numbers of Tall Buildings being constructed since 2001. The combination of the magnitude and time-scale of the WTC investigation coupled with the absence of meaningful guidance resulting from it strongly hints at the outdatedness of current fire engineering practice as a discipline in the context of such advanced infrastructure. This is further reflected in the continual shift from prescriptive to performance based design in many parts of the world demonstrating an ever growing acceptance that these buildings are beyond the realm of applicability of prescriptive guidance. In order for true performance based engineering to occur however, specific performance goals need to be established for these structures. This work seeks to highlight the critical elements of a fire safety strategy for tall buildings and thus attempt to highlight some specific global performance objectives. A survey of tall building fire investigations is conducted in order to assess the effectiveness of current designs in meeting these objectives, and the current state-of-the-art of fire safety design guidance for tall structures is also analysed on these terms. The correct definition of the design fire for open plan compartments is identified as the critical knowledge gap that must be addressed in order to achieve tall building performance objectives and to provide truly innovative, robust fire safety for these unique structures.

Fire engineering design method based on structural performance of buildings has been developed through all of the worlds since the early 1960's. But recently the worlds have been changed rapidly in aspects of global community and mutural free trade circumstances. Therefore the concepts of fire design on structural performance need to harmonize among countries that have their own unique regulations and ISO TC 92 and SC 4 have worked in order to make the united international standard.

In this study, the fire resistance performance of the concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns and thin steel-plate composite (TSC) beams installed at a 20-story office building were designed using a performance-based structural fire design. Because of the lack of any specific provisions in the building code and guidelines for structural engineers about the performance-based approach, the only prescriptive approach has been selected for designing fire-resistant structures in Korea. To evaluate the fire resistance performance of the CFT columns and TSC beams, finite element analysis verified by the experimental results studied by several researchers was conducted with ABAQUS. From the fire scenario, the temperature distributions of the CFT columns and TSC beams were found via finite element analysis and the behaviors of the CFT columns and TSC beams were investigated in the structural field based on the temperature distribution.

국내 성능위주설계 방법 및 기준에서는 다양한 입력 데이터들에 대한 입력 규정이 따로 마련되어있지 않으며, 설계자별로 인용하는 근거 데이터가 상이하여 피난허용시간과 피난완료시간에 많은 차이를 보이고 있다. 이는 성능위주 화재와 피난 시뮬레이션에 대한 신뢰도 문제와도 직결되고 있다. 시뮬레이션에 입력되는 다양한 데이터들을 표준화함으로서 설계자의 경험이나 기술능력에 무관하게 동일한 위험도의 건물에서는 동일한 결과가 도출되어야 한다. 또한 그 위험도 합당한 소방 방재설비가 설치되고 유사한 성능위주 대상 건물에서는 개연성 있는 초기투자비용이 소요됨으로서 효율적이고 효과적인 안전 확보가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The field of structural fire engineering has evolved within the construction industry, driven largely by the acceptance of performance-based or goal-based design. This evolution has brought two disciplines very close together - that of structural engineering and fire engineering. This paper presents an overview of structural systems that are frequently adopted in tall building design; typical beams and columns, concrete filled steel tube columns and long span beams with web openings. It is shown that these structural members require a structural analysis in relation to their temperature evolution and failure modes to determine adequate thermal protection for a given fire resistance period. When this is accounted for, a more explicit understanding of the behaviour of the structure and significant cost savings can be achieved. This paper demonstrates the importance of structural fire assessments in the context of tall building design. It is shown that structural engineers are more than capable of assessing structural capacity in the event of fire using published methodologies. Rather than assumed performance, this approach can result in a safe and quantified design in the event of a fire.

본 연구의 목적은 성능위주의 화재안전설계법에 따른 구획실 용도별 요구내화시간산정을 실시함으로써 현행 내화성능기준의 문제점도출 및 개선방향을 제시하는 것이다. 내화성능기준에 대한 검토를 위해 본 연구에서는 현재 국내의 시방규정에 의해 결정된 요구내화시간과 등가시간공식에 의해 산정된 화재노출상응시간과 비교하였고, 화재노출상응시간을 산정하기 위해 화재하중밀도, 환기계수, 구조재료의 열적특성 그리고 구획실 형상치수 등을 조사하였다.

The fire resistance performance of 2 RC slabs after exposure to the ISO-834 fire standard without loading has been experimentally investigated. A Comparison is made of the fire resistance performance between RC slabs without PP(polypropylene) fibers and RC slabs with PP fibers. From the fire test results, the presence of PP fibers in RC slabs can reduce spalling and enhance their fire resistance. Until now, the determination of fire resistance of reinforced concrete(RC) slabs has essentially been based on tabulated data. According to ACI 216 code and EUROCODE 2, the design of concrete structures is essentially based on tabulated data for appropriate concrete cover and various fire durations. From the comparison between fire test results and codes, current fire design provisions of codes such as the ACI 216 and the EUROCODE 2 are unconservative for estimating mechanical properties of RC slabs at elevated temperatures.

Structural steel has been used as a primary materials to columns and beams since 1960's in Korea with an advantages of excellent of load-bearing capacity and design flexibility, and faster construction. However, if the steel columns made of structural steel exposed to fire the load-bearing capacity is going down steadily and finally reach to collapse. Therefore, building regulation requires fire resistance according to building occupation, scales. The fire resistance can be evaluated two categories. One is prescriptive method that is based on building regulation, specification and so on and the other is performance-based fire engineering method. The latter can be designed based on scientific and engineering consequences. The easiest evaluation way using the fire engineering design is comparing to the limiting temperature and maximum temperature calculated based on heat transfer theory. If the limiting temperature of a column exceeds the maximum temperature of it, the column can carry the load during the fire. Therefore, the database of limiting temperature is very essential for evaluation of column. In this paper, to build the database of column made of rectangular hollow sections 8 fire tests with loading were conducted and the relation between the limiting temperature and the applied loads showed in reverse proportion.

오늘날 인간의 삶의 질 향상과 다양한 욕구를 충족시키기 위한 건축물은 대형화, 고층화, 심층화, 복합화 되는 추세이며, 이에 따른 비정형화된 공간이 새롭게 창출되면서 성능위주설계대상도 증가하고 있다. 성능위주설계의 피난안전성 평가는 ASET과 RSET를 산정 비교하여 RSET이 ASET를 초과하지 않도록 하여야 한다. 그러나 지하 주차장과 같이 구획된 공간의 면적이 넓고 피난경로가 다양한 경우 현재 시행되고 있는 성능위주설계 평가 방법만으로 모든 피난경로에서 안전성을 확보하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 현재 사용되고 있는 성능위주설계의 시뮬레이션 설정방법에 대해 먼저 고찰한 다음 지하 주차장을 대상으로 화재시뮬레이션 2가지와 피난시뮬레이션 3가지 경우를 각각 수행하여 6가지 경우에 대한 피난안전성 평가를 실시하고 비교 평가하여 문제점을 살펴보고 개선된 성능위주설계의 피난안전성 평가 방안을 제시한다.
