This study presents a decision making process for installation of wind barrier which is used to reduce the wind acting on running vehicle on expressway. At the first stage of this study, the lateral deviations of running vehicles under side winds were computed from the commercial softwares, CarSim and TruckSim, and then the critical wind speeds for car accident were evaluated from predefined risk index. To determine whether it is needed to install wind barrier or not, cost and benefit from wind barrier are calculated during lifetime. In obtaining car accidental risk, probabilistic distribution of wind speed, daily traffic volume, mixture ratio in the volume, and duration time for wind speed range are considered. It is recommended to install wind barrier if benefit from the barrier installation exceed construction cost. In the numerical examples, case studies were shown for risk and benefit calculation and main risky regions on Korean highway were all evaluated to identify the number of installation sites.

본 연구에서는 특별피난계단의 전실에 설치되는 부속실제연설비가 화재 시 발생한 연기가 부속실 내로 역류하지 않는 급기댐퍼의 적정한 설치위치를 알아보고자 하였으며, 이를 확인하기 위하여 FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator)을 사용 하였다. 시뮬레이션 Case 총 15가지로 구분하고, 방연풍속은 총 64개의 지점에서 측정하는 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 출입문 상부 및 하부에서 역 기류가 발행하는 Case가 있었으며, 대부분 출입문 하부에서의 연기 유입이 예상되는 경우가 많았다. 방연풍속은 측정 포인트 64점에서 관련기준에 단 한 곳도 미달하지 않고 만족하는 경우는 총 단 4가지 Case로서 매우 제한적인 것을 알 수 있었다. 그만큼 급기댐퍼의 위치 및 급기방향에 따라 부속실 제연설비의 성능이 다양하게 나타날 수 있다는 것이다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 앞으로 실물실험을 통하여 구체적인 자료가 입증되길 바라고, 더불어 부속실 제연설비의 성능을 개선하는 데 있어 도움이 되었으면 한다.

The criteria of tugboat requirement in domestic trading ports have been determined by the administrator of regional maritime affairs and port office on the basis of the regulations for the tugboat operations and management. But, there is a little confusion that the criteria of tugboat requirement and method for calculation of them are different from port to port and total power calculated on the basis of power per tugboat requirements by the number of tugs is not in accordance with total required power for the use of tug in several ports. The comparison of tugboat requirements among domestic major ports showed that it should be necessary for the criteria to be made in unified form. Because the current criteria are only on the basis q the ordinary condition with wind velocity under 10m/s, the criteria on the condition of the wind velocity over 10m/s are suggested to be necessary for the precautions against a disaster such as unexpected strong winds or typhoon.

This study aimed to figure out the effect of urbanization on meteorological variables (air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, solar radiation and precipitation) and reference evapotranspiration (RET). The research area of 6 urban areas and 6 rural areas near each urban area was selected. The monthly average daily data were collected from 12 ground stations operated by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and the changes in climate variables were analyzed. Results of annual analysis have shown that the reference evapotranspiration (RET) tends to increase in urban areas while decreasing in rural areas. In particular, due to rising RET in urban areas and decreasing RET in rural areas, we can infer that the urbanization has affected to the RET. Results of monthly analysis showed that the urbanization has effects on the RET of July compared to other months (January, April and October). The yearly and monthly effects of urbanization on RET were closely related to solar radiation, relative humidity and change in temperature, and related to wind speed.

In this paper, error analyses on the calculation of offshore wind speed have been conducted using HeMOSU-1 data to develop offshore wind energy in Yeonggwang sea of Korea and onshore observed wind data in Buan, Gochang and Yeonggwang for 2011. Offshore wind speed data at 98.69 m height above M.S.L is estimated using relational expression induced by linear regression analysis between onshore and offshore wind data. In addition, estimated offshore wind speed data is set at 87.65 m above M.S.L using power law wind profile model with power law exponent(0.115) and its results are compared with the observed data. As a result, the spatial adjustment error are 1.6~2.2 m/s and the altitude adjustment error is approximately 0.1 m/s. This study shows that the altitude adjustment error is about 5% of the spatial adjustment error. Thus, long term observed data are needed when offshore wind speed was estimated by onshore wind speed data. because the conversion of onshore wind data lead to large error.

물순환 과정의 구성요소 중 하나인 증발산(증발과 증산)은 각종 수자원시설물의 운영관리, 수자원계획 수립, 농업용 시설의 개발 및 운영관리 등에 필요한 매우 중요한 요소이다. 한편, 기후변화 등으로 '14~'19년 장기간 가뭄, '17년 가뭄상황에서도 태풍 '차바'에 의한 국지적 홍수, '20년 역대 최장기간 장마에 의한 대규모 홍수, '22년 태풍 '힌남노' 이후 남부지역 극심한 가뭄 등 가뭄과 홍수가 반복되어 물관리 여건이 매우 어려운 상황이다. 이러한 홍수/가뭄에 효과적으로 대응하기 위해 강우-유출 모형을 사용한다. 신뢰적인 예측결과를 얻기 위해서는 상세하고 정밀한 증발산량 추정이 필요하다. Penman-Monteith(PM) 기법으로 기준 증발산량을 산정하기 위해서는 최고·최저기온, 이슬점온도, 풍속, 일조시간 등의 기상자료가 필요하다. 이러한 자료는 전국 95개 ASOS 지점에만 얻을 수 있다. 계산된 95개 지점의 기준 증발산량은 티센망 등 방법으로 공간평균하여 활용한다. 95개 지점 자료만으로는 지역적 기상 특성을 반영하여 기준 증발산량을 산정하는데 한계가 있으며, 결국 강우-유출분석의 신뢰도 저하로 귀결된다. 본 연구는 기상청 ASOS 지점 외 AWS 590개 지점을 추가하여 기준 증발산량을 산정하여 공간적으로 상세화하였다. ASOS 지점들에 대해 PM 기법과 Hargreaves(HS) 기법으로 22년간의 일단위 기준 증발산량을 각각 계산하였다. 이들의 상관계수는 평균 0.85로 매우 높아, HS 기법으로 산정된 AWS 지점 결과의 추가사용이 적정하였다. 기온만을 사용하는 HS 기법, PM과 HS의 상관성 및 풍속을 반영한 2가지 보정 HS 기법으로 기준 증발산량을 계산하여 비교·분석하였다. 보정된 HS의 결과가 기존 HS 기법에 비해 오차가 적고, 자료의 편향성이 줄어드는 등 더 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서, 각종 수문분석에 보정 HS 기법을 AWS 지점에 확대·적용하고, ASOS 관측소의 PM 기법과 병행해 상세화하여 활용하면 수문분석의 신뢰성을 더욱 높일 수 있을 것이다.

An economic feasibility study is performed for the wind power generation with the examination of the wind speed and its distribution at Daekwanryung at which a wind fm is under construction. In this analysis, the distribution of wind speed is the key issue. The wind distribution which is usually expressed in terms of Weibull distribution with shape factor and scale factor needs to be reexamined to find the proper values of them according to the empirical wind speed data. After this kind of analysis is done, annual power generation of wind is calculated. Due to the lack of cost information, we applied EWEA data instead or the actual information from the site. The result would be of use to determine the 'reference price' of wind power under the current system of 'compensating subsidy for renewable power generation'.

Recent destructions of outdoor signboards have frequently been caused by strong wind, resulting in damage on the property and human livelihood. One of the major causes of the problems is inadequate implementation of structural design code to the outdoor signboards which are vulnerable to wind. This leads to this paper to present the design guideline of wind-resistant outdoor signboards. In order to estimate the design wind speed, basic wind speeds over Korea suggested by KBC(2015)(revision) are corrected with land surface roughness and topography of the terrain and installation height of the signboard. This paper also suggested the procedure of wind load estimation for different types of outdoor signboards; wall attached type, wall ribbed type and ground erected type. Since the process involves complex calculation to some extent, this paper presents summarized version of wind load estimation from non-professional point of view.

This study was carried out to analyze the effect of the variation of a wind speed on the stability of a container crane. The wind load according to 'The Requirement of Port Facilities and Equipments / Specification for the design of crane structures (KS A 1627)' and 'Load Criteria of Structures' enacted by the ministry of construction & transportation was evaluated. And the uplift forces of a container crane under this wind load were calculated by analyzing reaction forces at each supporting point and compared with each other. The analytic model was a container crane with uplift capacity of 50ton which was widely used in port.

The thermal rating of an overhead conductor, which is the maximum allowable current, is generally calculated on the basis of heat balance equation found in IEEE P738 standard. This is given as a function of the weather conditions such as air temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and sun heat. Wind speed among such weather parameters is strongly affected on determining the line rating when it appears very low level. Therefore there may occur inaccuracy since most anemometers used in line rating monitor systems may show low resolutions and stall speed performance. In this paper, we introduce a new methodology for determining the dynamic line rating in overhead transmission lines, without using my anemometer. It was shown that wind speed can be estimated by the temperatures of 2 indirect conductors, and through experimental study, the dynamic line rating obtained by the estimated wind speed was very closely that of weather model.
