Abstract

An important characteristics during fire growth is the phenomena of flashover, which is the transition from the local combustion to the full-room fire. The aim of this study is to predict the flashover times, the ignition times and HRR(heat release rate) of flashover for building interior materials. By using the literature data and RSM(response surface methodology), the new equations for predicting the flashover time, the ignition time and the HRR of building interior materials are proposed. The A.A.P.E.(average absolute percent error) and the A.A.D.(average absolute deviation) of the reported and the calculated flashover times were 38.74sec and 51.24sec respectively, and the correlation coefficient was 0.975. The A.A.P.E and the A.A.D of the reported and the calculated ignition times were 10.96sec and 1.97sec, and the correlation coefficient was 0.962. Also the A.A.P.E and the A.A.D. of the reported and the calculated the HRR of flashover by means of times were 29.92 and 514, and the correlation coefficient was 0.830. The values calculated by the proposed equations were in good agreement with the literature data. Therefore, it is expected that this proposed equations will support the use of the research for other building interior materials.

화재성장기 동안의 중요한 특징은 국부연소에서 전실연소로 전이되는 플래시오버 현상이다. 본 연구의 목적은 건축내장재의 플래시오버 시간 및 발화시간 그리고 열방출량을 예측에 있다. Response Surface Methodology(RSM) 방법과 문헌자료를 사용하여 플래시오버 시간 및 발화시간 그리고 열방출량을 예측하는 식을 제시하였다. 예측식에 의해 계산된 플래시오버 시간과 문헌값의 A.A.P.E.는 38.74초, A.A.D.는 51.42초 그리고 상관계수는 0.975이다. 발화시간의 예측값과 문헌값의 A.A.P.E.는 10.96초, A.A.D.는 1.97초 그리고 상관계수는 0.962이다. 또한 시간에 의한 플래시오버 열방출량의 예측값과 문헌값의 A.A.P.E.는 29.92, A.A.D.는 514 그리고 상관계수는 0.830이다. 제시한 예측식에 의한 계산값은 문헌값과 일치하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시된 식이 다른 건축내장재 연구에도 이용되기를 기대한다.
