Fire Spread Of Urban Area At The Kobe Earthquake
Abstract
The several that many fires occurred simultaneously at the time of the Kobe earthquake in 1995 became urban area fires. Thereupon, we analyzed the fire spread situation of urban area fires of Kobe city in this research. We used the data that was obtained by Fire Department of Kobe city and Tokyo Fire Department. The fire data that we analyzed has over about 10,000 m² of burn-out area. It is as a future research theme about the fire spread condition which fire fighting water is considered. The fire spread model that considered bum-out area, fire front length and also the fire spread speed, were examined in this paper.

In fire fighting planning fire engines, firemen and water are three basic elements. This paper deals with water supply planning for building fire in urban area. The purpose is to reconsider and reconstruct of the water supply standard for building fire. First, fire spreading and suppression was discussed. For the urban area has been changed since 1976, when the standard of water supply by Fire Defense Agency of Japan was improved. Then, the national standard was checked and new one is proposed by using authors' fire spread model and new stand points. In addition, real fire data of Kobe City were analyzed and it shows that the proposed standard is rational.
This paper deals with the fire spread within and between wooden buildings in Japan. The relation of the burnt area and the time draws approximately an S-curve. As former theories fail to estimate the real fire spread condition correctly, we have examined a polynomial curve and a logistic one as the most appropriate substitutes. In determining the parameters of the logistic curve, we should strictly use the nonlinear least squares method.
