| Abstract |
As a result of domestic existing combustibles, this study analyzed considering matters in techniques for calculating caloric values, and then made an investigation sheet. By utilizing written combustion sheets, the study could suggest a standard model at common houses and dense ones after getting caloric value information of 529.3MJ/㎡ in common houses and 412.8MJ/㎡ in dense ones. As a result of executing Cone Calorimeter experiment on 13 samples among combustibles of domestic residential facilities, flooring materials showed higher HRR and THR than wall papers, and in case of toxicity and SPR, wall papers having adhesive components in one side by considering use conveniences were measured high. As a result of experimenting 4 loading combustibles in domestic residential facilities by using Furniture Calorimeter, values of 2,391.26kW were appeared from sofas, 1,891.80kW from drawers, 1,778.95kW from mattress, and 135.09kW from TV. Also, if applying α value of fire growing rate by classifying fire- growing speeds at NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code 2007, Annex B), mattress can be defined as Ultra-Fast, sofa and drawers Fast, TV Slow. Meanwhile, a fact could be known that general glasses were most dangerous through the glass fire-resistance test. |
