소단면 대심도 터널 화재시 대배기구의설치형태에 따른 화재특성 연구

A study on the fire characteristics according to the installation type of large smoke exhaust port in a small cross sectional tunnel fire

최근 국내외 도심지역의 교통정체 완화와 공간의 효율성 증대를 위해 대도시내 도로의 지하화 시행빈도가 증가하고 있다. 도시부 터널은 극심한 정체상황 중 화재가 발생할 경우 대형 참사를 유발할 가능성이 산악터널보다 높기 때문에 소단면으로된 소형차전용터널로 시공이 될 가능성이 높다. 소형차 전용의 터널로 시공이 될 경우, 소형차 전용터널은 차량에의한 설계화재강도를 감소할 수 있는 반면, 터널 높이 감소 등에 따른 단면적 축소에 따라 유해가스농도가 증가하여 위험도는 증가하는 상반된 특징이 있다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석을 통해 대배기구의 설치간격과 형태에 따른 화재양상을 터널 내 온도 및 CO농도를 분석하여 비교 ‧ 검토하였으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 설치간격에 따른 연기확산거리는 큰차이가 없는 것으로 분석되었으나, 본 연구에서는 간격이 100 m인 경우가 가장 효과적으로 분석되었다. 대배기구 형상에 따른 연기확산거리는 4 m × 3 m, 6 m × 2 m, 3 m × 2 m (2열) 순으로 배연성능이 우수한 것으로 분석되었으며, 대배기구 형상에 따른 연기확산거리는 플래시오버 이후에는 큰 차이가 없지만 화재 성장과정에서 3 m × 2 m인 경우 다른 경우보다 확산거리가 큰 것으로 분석되었고, 대배기구 종횡비에 따른 연기확산거리는 횡방향으로 긴 경우보다 종방향으로긴 경우가 화재연기의 확산거리가 더 짧은 것으로 분석되었다.

Recently, due to the efforts to mitigate traffic congestion and expansion of space efficiency, the construction of underground roads has been increased in big-scale cities. Since tunnels in the city have a higher chance for a fire leading to a great tragedy during a severe traffic jam than mountain tunnels, it is highly likely that it will be constructed as a tunnel, having a small cross section, for small vehicles. However, if they are constructed as such small-vehicle tunnels, it would be possible to reduce the design fire intensity while the concentration of harmful gases would increase due to a reduction in the small cross sectional area, led by a decrease in the tunnel height. In this study, behaviors of fire smoke by the installation interval and format of large-scale exhaust-gas ports were examined and compared in the analysis of temperatures and CO concentrations of a tunnel and its results were as the following. Although there were no significant differences in the smoke spreading distance between installation intervals, but in this study, 100 m was found to be the most effective installation interval. The smoke exhaustion performance was found to be excellent in the order of 4 m × 3 m, 6 m × 2 m, and 3 m × 2 m (2 lane) of the smoke spreading distance. Although there was no significant difference in the smoke spreading distance between formats of large-scale exhaust-gas ports, it was found that the smoke spreading distance was larger than other cases when it was 3 m × 2 m in the fire growing process. The analysis of smoke spreading distances by the aspect ratio showed that a smoke spreading distance was shorted when its the smoke spreading distance was found to be shorter when its traverse distance was relatively longer than its longitudinal distance.
