The fire at a Busan indoor shooting range on November 14, 2009 was reconstructed by using a computational fluid dynamics model for fire simulations, in order to investigate the cause of the heavy death toll in a short period of time. Spread of the flame and smoke, and temperature distribution obtained by fire simulation were compared with the results of fire investigation based on the CCTV recordings. The flame and smoke flew out violently through the door into the cafeteria from the shooting range, and the cafeteria was filled with smoke just within 3 seconds followed by the onset of fire. This is consistent with the CCTV recordings. It was confirmed, as a result, that people in the cafeteria did not have enough evacuation time. The computed temperature at the door knob reached about $1400^{\circ}C$, near its melting point.

최근 극한 홍수의 발생에 따른 내수배제 불량으로 인한 도시지역의 침수로 매년 많은 인명과 재산상의 손실이 크게 증가하고 있으며, 홍수피해 저감 및 복구대책으로 많은 국비가 지원되고 있으나 아직까지 예방보다는 복구비에 치중하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 도시지역에 시간 당 강우의 영향력에 대한 평가를 실시하여 상습적으로 일어나는 내수재해를 방지하고 자한다. 이를 위하여 서울시 저지대를 기준으로 상습침수 배수구역을 선택하여 1차원 SWMM모형을 구축하였다. 이때, 가장 중요한 인자 중 하나인 강우의 시간분포는 도시별 유역 규모 및 유출특성, 강우강도 특성 등에 따라 상이한 결과를 보일 여지가 다분하여 실제 침수를 일으킨 강우와 유사한 분포를 찾기 매우 어려운 실정이며, 이를 반영하기 위하여 Huff분포 모든 분위를 사용하여 SWMM 도시침수 해석을 실시하였다. 실시한 결과 맨홀의 월류량을 2차원 해석 입력자료로 사용하였으며, 2차원 해석 결과를 분위별 침수범위를 GIS를 이용하여 중첩시켜 상습 침수구역을 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 강우강도의 조건에 따라서 관로를 통하여 월류되는 시작 지점 및 그 지점을 통하여 맨홀에서의 월류량을 대략적 알 수 있었다. 또한, 능동적이며 준 실시간적인 대피지도와 우회도로설정 의사결정에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

기후변화로 인한 기온과 강수량의 변화는 국지적이고 집중적인 강우를 유발하게 되었고 이로 인하여 외수범람에 의한 제내지 침수로 인한 피해가 증가하고 있다. 따라서 제내지의 침수로 인한 피해를 예측하기위한 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 하천제방의 파쇄로 인한 홍수량이 제내지에서 어떤 경로로 침수-확산되는지를 파악하기 위하여 홍수의 침수경로를 모의할 수 있는 분포형홍수범람모형인 SIMOD(Simplified Inundation MODel) 모형을 개발하였다. 침수경로를 모의하기 위하여 홍수가 발생된 시점에서 그리드화된 주변셀로의 홍수전의를 위하여 주변셀과의 경사를 이용하여 차등 분배하는 다중흐름방향법(Multi Direction Method, MDM)과, 하나의 낮은 고도의 셀에서 수위가 높아져 인접셀보다 수위가 증가하면 그 수위는 인접 셀들과 균등해 진다는 가정인 평수가정법(Flat-Water Assumption, FWA)을 적용하였다. 모형의 평가를 위하여 가상시나리오를 설정하여 대상지역에서 시간에 따른 침수범위를 산정하였다. SIMOD 모형은 지형도(DEM)와 유입 홍수량의 간단한 입력자료를 이용하기 때문에 모의시간을 현저하게 단축시킬 수 있다. 강우-유출 모형 또는 제방붕괴 모형 등을 통해서 유입되는 홍수량만 파악을 할 수 있다면 수 분 내에 결과를 예측할 수 있다. 따라서 EAP(Emergency Action Plan)과 같은 도심지에서 침수로 인한 대피 계획을 수립하는데 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The first operation of alarm system starts at a detector. And the largest effect is produced on the operation of detector by the fire source position and installation position. Nevertheless, the Korean standard for the installation of detector only specifies matters of fire detector installation according to area and height, without consideration of installation position and fire source position. Therefore, this study carried out a fire test in consideration of detector installation position and fire source position (5 places) in order to minimize casualties owing to the fast operation of fire detector when a fire occurred. Considering that it took the longest time for a detector close to a wall to work in the results of this test, it was possible to find that a minimum clearance to the wall was required.

As building height is increased, more careful decisions about the required safe egress time is needed for evacuation. This study analyzed the influence of three training sessions on the vertical speed of evacuation in the high rise building. Evacuation experiments were done in a high-rise office building in Seoul, and we analyzed the vertical evacuation speed as a function of density using a camera. Controlled and uncontrolled total evacuation were compared using the Pathfinder simulation. The process of repeated training, changed the specific stair utilization rate from 6.3% to 39.5%. The vertical evacuation speed as a function of density was analyzed using the equation s = 1.004 ? 0.288D, which is very similar to the equation used in a different study. The total evacuation time of the special controlled total evacuation was reduced by about 25% compared to the simultaneous evacuation.

As the existing metropolitan area metropolitan railway operates on a one-to-one basis, which leads to long travel times, its competitiveness with other means of transportation is deteriorating. Since there is a limit to attracting road traffic by rail, there is a continuing societal demand to expand express train service. Especially in the northern and the southwestern parts of the metropolitan area, a public transportation network system with express function, connecting to the city center of Seoul, is needed because of the social cost of the increase of traffic congestion and the increase of the travel time. The most efficient express service in Korea is Seoul Subway Line 9, which runs in 27 minutes from Gimpo Airport to the high speed terminal; this is a 40% shorter time compared to 44 minutes by car; the congestion in this area is up to 240%, so the preference for this train is quite high. The technical results of this study are expected to contribute to the implementation of an express service metropolitan railway.

최근 들어 지구환경 변화에 따른 이상기후의 영향으로 태풍 및 집중호우로 인한 하천범람 등 홍수재해에 의한 인명과 재산의 피해가 급증하고 있다. 특히 한반도 지역에서는 집중호우와 태풍과 같은 이상강우로 인한 홍수피해의 발생이 매년 나타나고 있으며 홍수피해의 빈도와 강도는 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 상황에서 극심한 기상이변으로 인하여 발생되는 이상홍수의 예측에 관한 사항은 치수 이수는 물론 친수관점에서 볼 때 하천관리의 측면에서 매우 중요한 관심사로 부각되고 있다. 특히 홍수예측은 주민의 대피 및 통제, 시설물의 보호 등을 위해 충분한 선행시간을 확보할 수 있는 실시간적 관점에서의 홍수예측 및 관리가 중요하다. 기존의 수문학적 강우-유출 모형은 비선형성이 강하고 유역의 지형학적 인자와 기후학적 인자의 영향을 포함하기 때문에 정확한 예측이 어렵고 유출량을 계산하기 위한 유역추적, 저수지추적 및 하도추적의 각 추적과정에서 크고 작은 오차들이 발생하고 그것들이 누적되어 유출 모형의 해석 결과에는 많은 오차들이 포함되어 있다는 문제점이 있다. 또한 주로 유역 면적이 크고 홍수의 도달시간이 긴 대하천의 홍수예측에는 기존의 강우-유출 모형이 적당한 방법임에도 불구하고 유역면적이 작은 중소하천에 적용됨으로써 많은 불확실성을 포함하고 있으며 충분한 선행시간을 확보하지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 중소하천에서의 기존의 홍수예경보가 가지고 있는 문제점을 해결하기 위해 실시간 수위측정 자료 및 강우자료를 이용한 간단한 입력자료 만으로도 홍수예측이 가능한 뉴로-퍼지(Neuro-Fuzzy) 모형을 구축하여 충분한 선행시간을 확보함으로써 중소하천에서 의 실시간 홍수예측이 가능한 시스템을 구성하여 실시간으로 구동되는 효율적인 홍수예경보 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 임진강 유역을 대상으로 기존의 강우-유출 모형이 요구하는 유역의 물리적, 지형 자료 및 매개변수와 같은 광범위한 양의 자료를 배제하고, 유역의 강우 자료와 수위자료만으로 유역의 중요지점에 대한 홍수위 및 홍수량을 예측할 수 있는 뉴로-퍼지 모형을 구축하고 대상 유역에 적용하여 실측치와 비교 검증하였다.

Onshore great fires can normally be extinguished by firefighters using special firefighting equipment and its suitable method. However, offshore fires on the ships are to be extinguished by the crew without any supports from the onshore. Also, crews working on board are exposed to high risk of emergency evacuation due to the complicated structure arrangement of the ships and different accident types such as fire and ship collisions. As most of damage and loss of life in fire are associated with suffocation, shortening of evacuation time is an important factor to improve a survival rate. In this study, visibility in the accommodation area is analyzed by using the temperature and smoke flow which are obtained by the Fire Dynamic Simulator(FDS) as a Three-Dimensional Fire Analysis program to understand the survival rate of the crew upon the fire. The fire doors for most of ships are designed to close automatically when the fire alarm is activated. These automatic closing of the fire doors is a very effective system to delay the spread of flame and smoke flow for the unmanned spaces of the fire protected area. However, if the crew cannot escape within the estimated time, the crew inside the fire protected area will be damaged a lot. In this paper, the comparative analysis between the evacuations by using the fire door from the fire protected area and the suggested fire shielding structure in this study is carried out by the smoke flow rate and the temperature rise rate.

Recently, localized heavy rainfall has led to increasing flood damage in urban areas such as Gangnam, Seoul ('12), Busan ('13), Ulsan ('16) Incheon and Busan ('17) etc. Urban flooding occurs relatively rapidly compared to flood damage in river basin, and property damage including damage to houses, cars and shopping centers is more serious than facility damage to structures such as levees and small bridges. In Korea, heavy rain warnings are currently announced using the criteria set by KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration). However, these criteria do not reflect regional characteristics and are not suitable to urban flood. So in this study, estimated the flooding limit rainfall amount based on the damage records for Seoul and Ulsan. And for regions that can not estimate the flooding limit rainfall since there is no damage records, we estimated the flooding limit rainfall using a Neuro-Fuzzy model with runoff characteristics. Based on the estimated flooding limit rainfall, the urban flood warning criteria was set. and applied to the actual flood event. As a result of comparing the estimated flooding limit rainfall with the actual flooding limit rainfall, the error of 1.8~20.4% occurred. And evacuation time was analyzed from a minimum of 28 minutes to a maximum of 70 minutes. Therefore, it can be used as a warning criteria in the urban flood.

For the stream management, time of concentration is one of the important factors. In particular, as the requirement about various application of the stream increased, accuracy assessment of concentration time in the stream as waterfront area is extremely important for securing evacuation at the flood. the past studies for the assessment of concentration time, however, were only performed on the single hydrological event in the complex basin of natural streams. The development of a assessment methods for the concentration time on the complex hydrological event in a single watershed of urban streams is insufficient. Therefore, we estimated the concentration time using the rainfall- runoff data for the past 10 years (2006~2015) for the Oncheon stream, the representative stream of the Busan, where frequent flood were taken place by heavy rains, in addition, reviewed the reliability using artificial neural network method based on Matlab. We classified a total of 254 rainfalls events based on over unrained 12 hours. Based on the classification, we estimated 6 parameters (total precipitation, total runoff, peak precipitation/ total precipitation, lag time, time of concentration) to utilize for the training and validation of artificial neural network model. Consequently, correlation of the parameter, which was utilized for the training and the input parameter for the predict and verification were 0.807 and 0.728, respectively. Based on the results, we predict that it can be utilized to estimate concentration time and analyze reliability of urban stream.
