The removal efficiencies by elastic fire gas mask of toxic gases CO, HCl, HCN, and $SO_2$ produced by a fire have a key role in saving lives. The elastic fire gas mask comprises a visible window, elastic hood, gas purification canister, and air vent. It does not have hair or neck thongs, which makes it easy to use and put on quickly. This research examined the removal efficiency of toxic gases by such a mask. The removal efficiencies for CO with a background concentration of 2505.0 ppm were 99.99 and 99.98% after 3.5 and 8.5 min, respectively. The residual CO concentration was drastically increased after 8.5 min. The removal efficiencies for HCl, HCN, and $SO_2$ with background concentrations of 1003.0, 399.0, and 100.3 ppm, respectively, were 100% after 20 min.

Rie, Dong-Ho,Yoo, Ji-Oh Korean Institute of Fire Science and Engineering 2004 한국화재소방학회논문지 Vol.18 No.2

지하철은 다른 구조물과 비교하여 화재발생 시 화재진압 및 인명구조에 본질적으로 취약한 구조적 특성을 내포하고 있다. 국내의 경우, 지하철 승강장 제연설비는 전용설비로 구축되어 있지 않고 화재발생 시 승강장환기설비 및 본선터널부의 환기설비를 제연모드로 절환하여 운영되고 있다. 제연효과는 이러한 까닭으로 환기설비의 위치, 용량 및 급배기방식에 종속된다. 본 연구에서는 지하철 승강장에서 열차 화재 발생 시, 승객의 안전한 대피로 확보가 가능한 선로부 환기기의 제연운전 효과의 실효성에 대한 검증을 목표로 한다. 따라서 지하승강장을 대상으로 승강장 내 기류해석 및 3차원 화재시뮬레이션을 수행하여 열차화재에 따른 승강장내 열 및 물질이동특성해석으로부터 선로부 배연운전모드에 따른 특성을 규명함으로서 승객안전성 확보에 목표를 둔다. Today's popular ventilation systems include the combined jet fans and electrostatic precipitation systems or the combined jet fans and vertical shaft system. Tunnels with these two ventilation systems applied have been designed and opened, more and more interest has been put in maintenance of a tunnel after opening. Therefore. it is to become more important to come up with the optimal operation mode and the method for the evaluation of ventilation system. In this study, to evaluate a tunnel ventilation and its economy, a dynamic simulation program was developed which can simulate the unsteady-state tunnel air velocity and concentration of pollutants according to the traffic flow variations and operation condition of a ventilation system. We clarified the effectiveness usage on tunnel ventilation by using it and also we could found the most economical ventilation operation mode by application in real exit tunnel. We obtained that combination of fan system and electrostatic precipitation system was more economical than jet fan priority operation mode.

이 연구는 비스-(디메틸아미노메틸) 포스핀산(DMDAP), 비스-(디에틸아미노메틸) 포스핀산(DEDAP) 과 비스-(디부틸아미노메틸) 포스핀산(DBDAP)으로 처리된 리기다소나무의 연소 독성 가스의 생성에 관하여 조사하였다. 리기다소나무는 15 wt.% 방염제 수용액으로 3번 붓칠 한 후 상온에서 건조하였다. 연소 독성 기체의 생성물은 콘칼로리미터(ISO 5660-1)를 사용하여 조사하였다. 화학 첨가제로 처리된 첫 번째 피크 질량손실속도($1^{st}-TMLR_{peak}$) 시간은 처리하지 않은 시편과 비교하여 5.9%와 41.2% 범위에서 감소되었다. 두 번째 피크 질량손실속도($2^{nd}-TMLR_{peak}$) 시간은 DMDAP에 대해서 1.8%, DBDAP에 대해서 5.3% 감소하였고 DEDAP에 대하여 1.8% 증가하였다. 피크 일산화탄소 생성농도($CO_{peak}$)는 처리되지 않은 시편보다 1.5~2.0배 더 높았다. 피크 이산화탄소 생성 농도($CO_{2peak}$)는 처리되지 않은 시편과 비교하여 DMDAP에 대해 0.01배 감소되었고 DEDAP에 대해 1.15배, DBDAP에 대해 1.19배 증가하였다. 특히 산소농도는 사람에게 치명적인 15%보다 매우 높게 측정되었다. 전반적으로 가연성 기체의 연소 독성은 처리하지 않은 시편과 비교하여 화학 첨가제에 의해 부분적으로 증가하였다. This study examined the generation of combustion toxic gases of pinus rigida specimens processed with bis-(dimethylaminomethyl) phosphinic acid (DMDAP), bis-(diethylaminomethyl) phosphinic acid (DEDAP), and bis-(dibutylaminomethyl) phosphinic acid (DBDAP). Each pinus rigida plate was coated three times with 15 wt.% flame retardants in an aqueous solution. The specimens were then dried at room temperature. The production of combustion toxic gases was investigated using a cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1). The first time to peak mass loss rate ($1^{st}-TMLR_{peak}$) processed with the chemical additives decreased to 5.9 from 41.2% compared with the unprocessed specimen. The second time to the peak mass loss rate ($2^{nd}-TMLR_{peak}$) for the processed specimens was decreased 1.8% for DMDAP and 5.3% for DBDAP and increased 1.8% for DEDAP. The peak carbon monoxide ($CO_{peak}$) production was 1.5 to 2.0 times higher than that of the unprocessed plate. The peak carbon dioxide ($CO_{2peak}$) production was reduced 0.01 times for DMDAP and increased 1.15 to 1.19 times for DEDAP and DBDAP compared with the unprocessed specimens. In particular, the oxygen concentration was much higher than 15%, which can be fatal to humans and the resulting hazard can be eliminated. Overall, the combustion toxicity of flammable gas were increased partially by the chemical additives compared with those of the unprocessed plate.

Ford, George,Ahn, Yong Han,Choi, Don Mook Korean Institute of Fire Science and Engineering 2014 한국화재소방학회논문지 Vol.28 No.6

주택 및 사회기반구조를 파괴하고 심각한 재정손실을 야기하는 재해들은 인류의 삶속에서 급속하게 증가하고 있다. 게다가 몇몇 자연 재해들은 주택의 손상으로 인해 많은 이주민들을 만들거나 인류의 생명을 빼앗아가기도 하였다. 정부가 재해이후 주택관련 문제들에 대해 대처하고 파괴 또는 손실된 주택의 완전한 재건 전까지 지낼 임시 주택을 이주민에게 제공하는 일은 매우 중요하다. 재해의 결과로 주택을 잃을 거주민들을 위한 충분한 임시주택을 제공하기 위해 정부는 재해후 임시주택 모형을 개발해야 한다. 기존의 정부는 자연재해 임시주택 제공은 단층 모듈러 주택, 컨테이너를 이용한 주택으로 한정되었다. 하지만 뉴욕과 서울의 도심지에서 인구밀도가 높고 토지가 부족하여 이런 방법들을 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 이주민에게 빠른 설치뿐 아니라 쾌적한 생활공간과 환경, 에너지 효율성을 가진 주택을 제공할 수 있는 재해 후 도시주택모형을 파악하는데 그 목적을 두었다. '뉴욕에서 재해후도시주택모형'이라는 프로젝트의 사례 연구가 설계전문가, 공학자, 계약자, 뉴욕위기관리사무소, 미국공병, 그리고 임시주택 거주자들과 심층 면담을 통하여 이루어졌다. 지역사회에서 이주민들이 삶의 터전을 지키고 이웃과 살아갈 수 있는 적절한 재해주택 프로그램이 개발되었다. Disasters that destroy homes and infrastructure and cause significant financial damage are becoming more common as population centers grow. In addition, several natural disasters have resulted in a major loss of life and created countless refugees due to damage to housing. After major catastrophic disasters, it is very important that the government agencies respond to post-disaster housing issues and provide resources such as temporary housing before the full rehabilitation and reconstruction of destroyed and damaged housing. To provide affordable temporary housing for residents who may lose their homes as the result of a catastrophic disaster including storms, government agencies must develop a post-disaster housing prototype. In general, government agencies should explore several different forms of factory-built single-story, single family housing, such as modular homes, panelized homes, and precut homes. In urban cities including New York and Seoul, it is very important to provide housing which supports the demand for higher-density living spaces than single-family homes or trailers typically available due to the high population density and the desire to resettle as many residents as possible in their former neighborhoods. This study identified the urban post-disaster housing prototypes that may provide higher density housing with high quality living spaces, high air quality, and energy efficiency as well as rapid deployment. A case study of "Urban Post-Disaster Housing Prototype Program in New York" was conducted through a detailed interview process with a designer, engineer, contractor, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) in New York, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and temporary occupants. An appropriate disaster housing program that can provide living spaces for victims of disasters that keeps residents in their community and allows them to live and work in their neighborhoods was developed.

Lee, Duck-Chool,Kim, Yong-Hyuk,Chu, Soon-Nam Korean Institute of Fire Science and Engineering 1996 한국화재소방학회논문지 Vol.10 No.4

본 연구에서는 화재 감지 회로 등에 사용되는 ZnO 바리스터의 제조과정중 냉각 속도가 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사한 것이다. 냉각 속도의 변화에 따른 시편의 미세구조, 전압-전류 특성, 복합임피던스 측정을 하였다. 냉각 속도 $200^{\circ}$/h에서 비오옴계수나 바리스터 동작 전압의 최대치를 나타내었다. 이것은 냉각과정 중 형성된 결정입계에 성질에 의존됨을 알았다. 복합임피던스는 100Hz-13MHz의 주파수 범위에서 측정하였으며, 반원의 특성을 검토한 결과 결정립이나 결정입계의 저항이 냉각 속도에 크게 의존되고 있음을 확인하였다. The aim of the present study is to find out the effect of cooling rate on the electrical behavior of ZnO varistors. The microstructure, 1-V characteristics and complex impedance spectra were investigated under the change of cooling rates. It is found that at cooling rate $200^{\circ}$/h, nonlinearity and breakdown voltage reached a maximum value which may show that good intergranular layer is formed as a results of proper cooling rate. Complex Impedance spectras were measured as a function of frequency range 100Hz to 13MHz to determine grain and grainboundary resistance. The semicircles were attributed to the dependence of grain and grainboundary resistance on cooling rates.

Managing the Vulnerability of Megacities in North America and Europe to Seismic Hazards

Waugh, William L. Korean Institute of Fire Science and Engineering 2001 한국화재소방학회논문지 Vol.15 No.2

The science and technology of seismic hazard mitigation are increasingly being shared among scientists and policy makers around the world. Administrative expertise is also being shared. While there is still tremendous unevenness in technical and administrative capacities and resources, a global community of emergency managers is developing and there is a globalization of expertise. Hazards are better understood, tools for risk assessment are improving, techniques for hazard mitigation are being perfected, and communities and states are implementing more comprehensive disaster preparedness, response, and recovery programs. Priorities are also emerging and hazard mitigation has emerged as the priority of choice in North America and Europe. An increasingly important component of hazard mitigation is resilience, in terms of increased capacities for disaster mitigation and recovery at the community and even individual levels. Each year, more is known about the locations and natures of seismic hazards, although there are still unknown and poorly understood fault lines and limited understanding of related disasters such as tsunamis and landslides. More is known about the impact of earthquakes on the built environment, although nature still provides surprises to confound man's best extorts to reduce risk. More is known about human nature and how people respond to uncertain risk and when confronted by certain catastrophe. However, despite the increased understanding of seismic phenomena and how to protect people and property, there is much that needs to be done to reduce the risk, particularly in major metropolitan areas.
