In this research, configulation of outside sprinkler system the prevention and postponement of vertical diffusion of blaze was studied prior to this study, vertical diffusion protecting sprinkler head has been developed and the sprinkler system was applied with discharge pressure of 0.05 MPa and flow of 60 l/min witch is stated in NFPA13's Exposure Protection Sprinkler Systems. Through the system design, we applied the system to the sample building and we made pertinent system to work manually and automatically linked to a fire alarm system. Also, we conducted a real-size mock up test verify the cooling effect of the outer wall and the postponement effect of the flame.

In this study, EIFS (Exterior insulation finish system) of exterior cladding was applied Cone calorimeter test to confirm the effect of flame retardant. As a results, the initial ignition points in accordance with the coated form and concentration of the flame retardant was delayed. But flame resistant treatment of EIFS cladding to control the fire will not affect confirmed that. In addition, EIFS that uses high-density and low-density due to difference in the density of the impact of the fire was no difference. The exterior of the ignition experiment occurred before and after 40 seconds, heat release rate to 100 seconds appears to occur about 90 % compared with the other exterior wall materials, the initial fire spread very fast was confirmed. EIFS cladding in order to prevent the spread of fire in the application of EIFS legally use is limited by the use of the building. And flame spread can be prevented, such as a vertical outer wall compartment measures are urgently needed.

In this research, in order to prevent spread of vertical flame from building exterior fire, A head was developed. The performance standards of Head development complied with NFPA 80A 7.7.4.3 (Recommended Practice for Protection of Buildings Exterior Fire Exposures) and the standards are applied to the discharge pressure was 0.05 MPa and the discharge flow rate was 60 l/min. The head was developed about applied to 0.05 MPa and 65 l/min through the process of the experiment of five times, it is processed from drencher head and used in domestic intended use and structure are quite different. An appropriate distances between the head and the head proved as the experimental results to within 3 m~5 m and it selectively applied to the design is being considered depending on the fire hazard strength.

Since vertical flame spread speed on exterior materials is much faster than horizontal fire, analysis of its fire characteristic is required. For the study of vertical fire pattern created by penetrating windows or openings from the exterior wall of buildings, the research is based on the fire simulation for an aluminum-complex-panel with which is commonly used as exterior materials and consists of polyethylene core material. As a result, the flame reaches the 2nd floor after 135 seconds in the early stage of fire, the 10the floor after 470 seconds and the 30th floor, the highest floor, after 711 seconds. The result shows that fire spread abruptly expands on upper floor due to stack effect of a turbulent flow or exterior materials. In consequence, we can confirm a serious problem that a conflagration of a building through an opening that is equipped with the exterior-materials spreads into interior of building at that same time.

A real A real scale fire test was performed in accordance with KS F ISO 9705 test method to investigate the combustion characteristics of glass wool sandwich panels. To do this, six kinds of specimens having different density and thickness were examined. The glass sandwich panels were installed inside the room, which had internal dimensions of 2.4 m wide×3.6 m deep×2.4 m high. also, combustion characteristic are determined through the exposure of specimens to flame by the propane gas burner has a capacity of 100 kW (10 minutes) and 300 kW (10 minutes) for total 25 minutes of test time. Results of the real sale fire test, it was found that maximum HRR of each specimen was 333.2~365.5 kW, maximum heat flux was 12.4~12.9 kW/m 2 And, maximum internal temperature for all specimens was not over 500 o C. During the real scale fire test, flash-over didn't occur and the difference by density and thickness of specimen was not found from the results of HRR, heat flux, and internal temperature measurement.
