여객선의 성능기반 화재안전 평가에 관한 연구

Abstract

Ships carrying fuel, combustible and explosive cargos are exposed to danger of fire at all times. Moreover, it is difficult to expect fire fighting from inland when a fire occurs at sea, therefore ship fire causes heavy losses of human lives and properties. Especially in passenger ships, all passengers and crews must be evacuated to safe area before a fire is developed into hazard to human. Therefore the MSC(Maritime Safety Committee) of IMO (International Maritime Organization) approved MSC/Circ.1238 on guidelines for evacuation analysis of new and existing passenger ships, including ro-ro passenger ships to prevent losses of lives in maritime accidents. In this paper, the assessment of performance-based fire safety is proposed to reduce losses of human lives using the concept of ASET and RSET that can be described by mathematic description, 'ASET>RSET'. RSET is calculated by annex 1 of MSC/Circ.1238 and ASET is predicted by fire simulation using FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator).
