A virtual flood scenario has been constructed to investigate the overflowing process in the flooding area. The topography is constructed using the airborne LIDAR data. In addition, the frequency and scale of the flooding and the destruction condition of the flooding defensive structure are used as input to the scenarios. Through the scenario, the inundation depth with respect to time and maximum depth has been analyzed. This analysis shows the water level variation with time which show the flooding process. Moreover, a flooding map is drawn using the results from the scenario, distribution of the defensive structure, vulnerable area, and expected destruction points in the study area. It is expected that this study can be effectively used to examine the flooding process and flood disaster management. Furthermore, it could provide important basic information for the land development and the city planning of a possible flooding area.

Enlargement and complexification of current structures increase the expected casualty in case of accident in those e.g., fire. In that case, there only have been basic instructions such as announcement of that situation, alarm bell, exit signs, etc. but any guidance to lead to proper escape route was not been provided so far. To tackle the problem, several schemes have been proposed. However, various risk factors were not considered and route discovery performance must be improved to be applied to structures. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimal route discovery system for emergency escape from disaster situations which takes into account various possible risk factors and enhances the searching efficiency by using the $A^{\ast}$ algorithm. Performance evaluation by computer simulation shows that the proposed scheme effectively leads to safe escape route.

This paper proposes and implements a LoRa-based emergency exit guide system which can direct the optimal refuge path accounting for the real state of the fires. Each 4-way emergency exit guide sign presents a right direction through one of four LED signs toward the possible exit dynamically calculated by the shortest path algorithm. We constructed a simulation environment with 8 spots of the emergency exit guide signs and 2 exits, which can simulate variant cases of fire accidents, and showed that the proposed algorithm can presents the right guidance for each emergency exit guide sign. We also evaluated the performances of LoRa-based wireless communications using a self developed communication module in the various indoor and outdoor environments. The proposed system can be applied to small and medium sized buildings as well as larger ones in terms of cost efficiency, in which there's no needs to invest for the complex equipments except only sensors and emergency exit guide signs.

Recently in Korea, in order to ensure evacuation safety within buildings, reviewing and evacuation assessment using computer simulations has been performed from the planning and design stages. Since the results from the assessment mainly depends on the initial values of input elements, it is important to establish element specific data. Nevertheless evacuation related experiments and research are still insufficient to apply overseas standards to domestic conditions. This study intended to conduct a experiment on evacuation movement speed by age as part of element-specific data construction for domestic occupant movement speed. After analyzing domestic and overseas studies on evacuation movement speed, we conducted the experiment of evacuation movement speed for 134 people. Then, by carrying out a comparative analysis of the results of the movement speed obtained from the experiment with overseas movement speeds, we followed the validation procedures of the experimental results under domestic evacuation conditions. The data derived from the experiment is expected to serve as a basis for the movement speed of domestic evacuation safety assessment.

In recent years, there have been frequent occurrences of collapsing buildings and tilting accidents due to frequent earthquakes and aging of buildings. Various methods have been proposed to prevent disasters on these buildings. In this paper, we propose a system that provides an indication of anomalous phenomena such as collapse and tilting of buildings by real-time monitoring of IoT(Internet of Things) based architectural anomalies. The MEMS sensor is based on the inclinometer sensor and the accelerometer sensor, transmits the detected data to the server in real time, accumulates the data, and provides the service to cope when the set threshold value is different. It is possible to evacuate and repair the collapse and tilting of the building by warning the occurrence of the upper threshold event such as the collapse and tilting of the building.

태풍 및 집중호우로 인해 댐과 저수지 등의 붕괴위험이 증가되고 있으며, 실제로 붕괴가 일어나 크고 작은 피해사례가 증가하고 있다. 담수의 목적을 가진 댐과 저수지가 붕괴될 경우 다른 자연재해에 비해 인명 및 재산에 대한 피해가 막대하다. 따라서 국가 및 각 지자체에서 관리하고 있는 댐과 저수지는 안전성 평가 및 비상대처계획 등을 수립하여 만약의 상황에 대해 대비를 하고 있다. 특히 비상대처계획의 경우 댐 붕괴시 상황을 예상하여 홍수파의 전파와 대피로 등을 설정하는 것으로 댐 붕괴상황시 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 하지만 지금까지의 비상대처계획 수립시 하류부 홍수파 해석은 1차원 모형을 활용하여 범람지역의 산정 및 홍수파에 대한 정보를 획득하였다. 1차원 모형의 경우 빠른 계산시간과 해석을 위한 절차가 간단한 장점이 있으나 건물 및 제내지의 정확한 지형을 반영하지 못하며, 제내지에서의 홍수파 전파양상 등을 나타내지 못하는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 정확한 지형의 반영과 제내지에서의 상세한 홍수파 해석이 가능한 2차원 모형을 이용하여 비상대처계획 수립시 적용성을 검토해보았다. 실제 붕괴사례인 경주 산대저수지 붕괴를 통해 2차원 모형의 정확성을 검증하였으며, 이를 국내 A저수지에 적용하여 비상대처계획도를 작성하였다. 대상저수지의 경우 댐 직하류부에 주거지역 및 홍수파가 넓게 퍼질 수 있는 지형을 가지고 있어 2차원 모형의 장점을 잘 활용할 수 있다고 판단하여 대상 저수지로 선정하였다. 1차원 모형인 DAMBRK 모형과 2차원 모형인 FLO-2D 모형을 사용하여 1 2차원 모형의 댐 붕괴홍수파 해석 결과를 비교하고, 그 결과를 이용한 비상대처계획도를 작성을 하여 비교하였다. 그 결과 기존에 활용되던 비상대처계획도의 단점을 보완하여 정확한 침수범위 및 홍수파 전파양상을 나타낼 수 있는 새로운 비상대처계획도 작성할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 정확한 지형의 반영이 필요하거나 댐 및 저수지 하류부에 도심지가 위치한 경우 제내지에서의 상세한 홍수파 정보를 제공할 수 있는 비상대처계획도 작성에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Chemical accidents caused by transport vehicles account for 20% of all chemical accidents every year, but there are difficulties in the accident-response process due to repeated situations where the impact assessment information is unknown. In this study, we developed a calculation table and formula for predicting the range of damage for chlorine and hydrogen fluoride, which have a high domestic usage, high risk of accidents, and high accident frequency in the last 7 years. The calculation table is based on the leakage rate, wind speed, and temperature, and the calculation formula was derived using R software for special situations where it is difficult to apply the calculation table. The calculation table and formula could be used on site by related organizations to obtain important information for decision making, which could help in minimizing damage from chemical accidents, setting separation distances, and deciding to evacuate residents.

Flood damage can cause floods or tsunamis, which can result in enormous loss of life and property. In this regard, damage can be reduced by making a quick evacuation decision through flood prediction, and many studies are underway in this field to predict floods using time series data. In this paper, we propose a CNN-based time series prediction model. A CNN-based water level prediction model was implemented using the river level and precipitation, and the performance was confirmed by comparing it with the LSTM and GRU models, which are often used for time series prediction. In addition, by checking the performance difference according to the size of the input data, it was possible to find the points to be supplemented, and it was confirmed that better performance than LSTM and GRU could be obtained. Through this, it is thought that it can be utilized as an initial study for flood prediction.

Purpose: In the event of a fire in a high-rise building, if the smoke control area is not effectively protected, smoke or flames enter the stairwell, making it difficult to evacuate. When inflowing air is discharged from a closed corridor, a negative pressure is formed in the corridor, the pressure in the smoke control area becomes excessively high, and the force required to open the door during evacuation is exceeded. Also, if the air introduced into the hallway is not exhausted, the smoke may flow back into the smoke control area. This paper tried to identify the problems caused by the inflowing air and to find out how to improve the performance. Method: Using the CONTAM program, simulations were performed with the basic conditions and the modified conditions. Result: If the inflowing air was discharged from the sealed corridor, overpressure occurred in the Smoke Control Area and exceeded the opening force, and the prevent smoke backflow was insufficient in the layer where the inflowing air was not discharged. Conclusion: "Differential pressure exhaust damper" application, simultaneous opening of two exhaust dampers, and automatic window installation between corridors and outdoors improved the exhaust performance of inflowing air.
