碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 營建工程技術學系 === 86 === This experiment study discusses the fire behavior of motorcycles in the building arcade. Series full-scale fire tests are conducted under a non-finished building arcade condition. The height of flame is measured and compared with the value, which is estimated from the HRR. Heat flux and temperature profiles are also measured to understand the heating mechanism of building arcade. It is found that maximum flame height of the motorcycles fire in all tests exceed 5 m. The exposure fire will spread to 2nd floor through the opening of facade, because both of radiation and temperature exceed the critical limit of ignition. It further shows that when the motorcycle fire happens in front of the arcade, the building facade has more serious damage. And the motorcycles fire in the arcade makes surrounding of it floor more dangerous. An attempt is also made in predicting the flame height from the heat release rate of motorcycle. The results predicted by using Delichatsions equation show a good agreement with the observation.
