This study compares and analyzes the discharge status of smoke according to the method of installing a mobile blower in the event of a fire in an underground parking lot of an apartment using an evacuation simulation. An evacuation simulation was conducted on the situation in which the discharge of smoke in the event of a fire was discharged using a mobile blower to extinguish the smoke in the event of a fire by focusing on the part without smoke facilities in the underground parking lot. The results derived through experiments on the amount of smoke discharged using the natural exhaust method and the mobile blower in the underground parking lot are as follows. (1) In the event of a fire in an underground parking lot, the PPV (positive pressure ventilation) method, which has been mainly used in the field, should be used in a limited way. It can be an effective method if the exhaust port corresponding to the amount of the blower and the smoke exhaust is located nearby, or if the capacity of the apartment ventilation fan is designed to meet the 18CMH/㎡ of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 88A or the 27CMH/㎡ standard standard for performance-oriented design evaluation and operation such as fire fighting facilities of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 88A. (2) In the case of the additional mixing method (PPV+NPV) performed in the FDS experiment, smoke emissions increased by 5.1% compared to the NPV single method, and increased by 24.4% compared to the PPV single method.

The purpose of this study is to improve the stack effect of the staircase and the failure to take into account the opening of the outside door of the staircase, which are the disadvantages of the existing smoke control only vestibule. As a result of the study, the new vestibule and the staircase simultaneous smoke control are equipped with an exhaust flap damper with an effective opening area of about 0.25 m² in the upper part of the staircase, and a ventilator-type air supply fan of about 5 m³/s in the lower part, and take measures to prevent overpressure in the staircase. If you use the new simultaneous smoke control method of the vestibule and staircase, you can achieve the following effects. First, it is possible to open the external entrance door. Second, it can reduce the stack effect. Third, the staircase door closes automatically without fail. And a new method of preventing overpressure was proposed for the vestibule.

Cars using diesel have always had problems with reducing exhaust fumes, and have been studied steadily in this regard. There were studies on the remanufacturing effect of DOC catalyst deactivated by diesel vehicle smoke reduction device, analysis of vehicle fire accident cases caused by damage to diesel vehicle smoke reduction device, and related studies on the remanufacturing effect of diesel vehicle smoke reduction device DPF. This study is also to develop an exhaust flow control unit suitable for an exhaust engine to completely burn smoke generated by an engine using a diesel engine in a low temperature exhaust gas. The main systems to be developed are high-performance heaters, burner structures that can maintain ignition in exhaust flows, and exhaust flow control units that reduce exhaust gas backflow effects caused by diesel engines.

To ensure the safety and functionality of a railroad bridge, maintaining the integrity of the bridge via continuous structural health monitoring is important. However, most structural integrity monitoring methods proposed to date are based on modal responses which require the extracting process and have limited availability. In this paper, the applicability of the existing damage identification method based on free-vibration reponses to time-domain deflection shapes due to moving train load is investigated. Since the proposed method directly utilizes the time-domain responses of the structure due to the moving vehicles, the extracting process for modal responses can be avoided, and the applicability of structural health evaluation can be enhanced. The feasibility of the presented method is verified via a numerical example of a simple plate girder bridge.

In this study, the experiment was conducted on a fire door(W × H = 0.98 m × 2.19 m) installed on the vestibule. The effective leakage area for each opening angles and closing forces derived from the impulse-momentum equation was compared and analyzed with the experimental results. As a result of the experiment, the major factors affecting the door closing forces were the pressure difference and the area of the door. The difference of door closing forces between measured and calculated values by the impulse-momentum equation showed a deviation of less than ±15% at the opening angles of 5°to 10°. At the door opening angle of 2.5°, the dynamic pressure was much higher than the measured static pressure, and this pressure difference is estimated to be air resistance acting to prevent the door from being completely closed.

This study investigated the smoke blocking and control systems for the safety of residents evacuation and for the prevention of smoke spread through the central corridor in the event of central corridor type of intelligent building fire. We offered additional ways of utilizing smoke ventilators and intake ventilation equipment and utilized CFD-based fire simulation program(FDS Ver.5.5.3) in order to analyze the effect. As a result, many differences in the smoke block effect, depending on the application of smoke ventilator and location of installation, was found. In addition, the result was found that larger effect was showed not in the case of application of smoke ventilator in central corridor only but application in fire room. The reason is that the smoke leakage is blocked primarily as air is flowed in the fire room through open door by operation of intake smoke ventilator in the public corridor and secondarily, the smoke leakage to the public corridor could be blocked as fire and smoke were released to the opened smoke ventilator continuously. Especially, the effect was maximized through complex interactions by applying smoke ventilator and intake ventilation equipment in corridor together rather than applying smoke ventilator and intake ventilation equipment independently. The proposed measure through this study shall be considered from architectural plan as one of ways for blocking from smoke spread to the central corridor in the central corridor type of intelligent building. In addition, flaws on regulation shall be established and supplemented.

최근 도심지와 산간지역에 설치되는 도로터널의 경우 터널개소의 증가와 장대화로 화재 사고가 점차 증가되고 있어 터널의 방재시설 강화가 요구되고 있다. 하지만 터널화재 발생시 대규모 인명피해가 발생될 수 있는 연기질식사 방지를 위한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 화재발생시 연기확산을 차단하여 질식사 최소화 및 대피시간을 확보 할 수 있는 에어커튼 시스템을 개발하였다. 에어커튼 시스템은 방재설계 사례를 기준으로 시뮬레이션(CFD)을 통한 최적화 방안(분사각도, 분사량 등)을 도출하였으며, 실내 Lab Test 및 실제 도로터널서 화재실험을 실시한 결과 차연성능을 발휘하였다. 이론적/실험적 검증을 통한 에어커튼 시스템 도입을 통하여 도로터널의 인명피해를 최소화 할 수 있는 새로운 방재시설로 발전되길 기대한다.
