| Abstract |
In buildings, windows and doors have architectural functions and environmental accommodation factors while balcony is also ruled as architectural element of shock absorbing space connecting inside and outside of the building. But, though the disaster preventing factors of these members are also one of important functions, we haven't considered this seriously. If the sectional fire develops enough for flame to erupt through windows and doors, the phenomena of eruption become different according to shapes of windows, doors and the balcony while the significance of preventing the disaster is much great such as changing the influence of temperature affecting upper floors and the spread of fire becoming diverse. Accordingly, this paper has assessed the erupting image of flame influence of temperature affecting the surrounding environment followed by diversity of shapes in windows and balconies by building an actual sample room with similar size and shape in order to duplicate the fire of public housing. In addition, by study the spread of fire due to the shape of balcony and comparing with temperature conditions assessed by actual model, we shall overcome the limitations of experiment possessed by actual model and find out whether the fire experiment using scale model can be the alternative. |
