碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 建築與都市設計研究所 === 93 === The systems adopted for the fire prevention division in the architecture space on Taiwan, according to the design specification in article 75 in building technology regulations installation chapter, include the fire door/window, water-spraying curtain, wall, and the likes of the above-mentioned items approved by the central authorities in charge of building. The object of this study, the "fire curtain", is characterized by not only having a light material, visual transparency, and no need of fire door installation but also having been rated as simpler and handier in the technical levels of design layout, installation, and after-use evaluation compared with other fire protection systems. In recent years, the "fire curtain" has already been applied to the fire prevention division in advanced countries such as those in Europe and America and Japan day. There is difference in the requirements for insulation performance between the above-said countries and Taiwan; those countries’ regulations applicable to fire prevention systems have no restriction on insulation performance, but the design specification in article79 in Taiwan’s current building technology regulations installation chapter stipulates the insulation performance shall last over one hour. Therefore, this study undertakes the preliminary fire curtain-related fire resistance test to serve as the basis for the understanding of its insulation performance. This test uses the "method of fire resistance test for structural parts of building" of Chinese national standard CNS12514 A 3305 as the criterion and small heating furnaces to complete the following three kinds of tests: (1) different material ingredients of single layer fire curtain ,(2) different hollow layer spacing (the inlaid air layer) of double layer fire curtain, and (3) installation of natural smoke vent (the inlaid air layer) of double layer fire curtain, with a view to acquiring basic data of insulation performance and determining if it meets the requirements stipulated by related specifications.
