The purpose of this study is to assess contaminant transfer and environmental impacts to the surroundings by inadequate control of USTs. Several methodologies can be used in sampling procedure for the site assessment depending on the appearance of contaminants on the site and their types. In this case study because of site contaminants, randomized and/or triangle matrix techniques were used. As a result, the composition of materials in OO gas station were appeared in several status. From 1 to 2.5m depth, the soil was composed of silty sand and gravel, around 4m depth, weathered rock was appeared. Based on the preliminary and actual site investigation by DPT methodologies on the width and depth of the site with analysis of BTEX and TPH, no contamination was found in OO gas station, however, in one point because of careless dumping after refill by oil company, about 1731. 5 ppm of TPH appeared.

A sports center fire in Jecheon caused 29 deaths and 40 injuries. This study focused only on the structural factors of the building and equipment to investigate the causes of casualties based on the fire investigation results at the sports center. The structural factors of the building and equipment were a piloti-type parking lot, lack of a fire compartment between the piloti-type parking lot and lobby, lack of an installed sprinkler system, lack of an installed fire door in the main stairs on the $1^{st}$ floor, lack of an installed fire water tank on the rooftop, an installed pocket fire door in the main entrance on the $2^{nd}$ floor, poor fire compartments in an EPS space and a pipe pit and on each floor, a leak in the joint of a drain pipe, plywood installed in the hoistway of the freight elevator and interior wall, illegal remodeling of a closed rooftop structure, which cannot discharge smoke and heat, installed styrofoam insulation in the inside of the parking lot ceiling, an installed tempered glass window, which cannot be opened in the ladies bathroom on the $2^{nd}$ floor, and a finished dryvit exterior wall.

Recently, many techniques have been developed for the inspection of pipelines using guided waves. However, few researches have been made on the application of those techniques for buried underground pipes. Guided wave motions in the buried pipes are somewhat different from those of on-ground pipes which have traction-free (air) boundary condition on outer pipe walls and thus are strongly affected by the mechanical property of the surrounding soils. Therefore, it should be investigated the effect of soil properties on the guided wave behavior in buried pipe. On the other hand, the mechanical property of soil is largely depending on its moisture conditions nevertheless of other influential factors such as void ratio. In this study, the effect of moisture conditions in soils on mode attenuation of guided waves in the buried pipe is investigated. To this end, numerical study is performed to characterize mode attenuation behavior in buried pipes and the effective mode which is suitable for long range inspection is identified.

최근 건설 산업이 고도화, 지능화됨에 따라 건설자재정보의 효율적인 관리방안으로 RFID 기술을 이용하려는 연구 및 적용 사례가 증가 하고 있다. RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)란 라디오 주파수를 이용한 무선인식 기법을 뜻하는 것으로 건설자재에 RFID Transponder(이하 태그)를 부착하여 생산, 유통, 설비 등 전 과정의 정보 추적 및 관리가 가능하다. 그러나 RFID 시스템 특성상 전자기장이 형성되는 철골자재나 수분이 포함된 콘크리트, 도료(안료) 등의 자재에서는 RFID 적용이 쉽지 않다. 또한, 현재 사용 중인 RFID 장비마저도 표준화 되어 있지 않고 사용 주파수 대역 또한 각각 다르기 때문에 건설자재에 적용하기위한 RFID 시스템의 표준화 및 규격화가 절실하다. 본 논문에서는 건설자재에 RFID를 적용하기 위한 표준화 방향을 제시하는 기초 연구로써 목재, 철재 빔, 도료(안료), 콘크리트, 배관자재(철/동/PE)에 Passive Type의 일반(Pager) 태그, 금속 태그, 액체형 태그를 부착 매립하여 125KHz, 13.56MHz, 900MHz의 주파수 대역과 자재 물성별 인식거리 및 인식률 시험을 진행하여 건설자재에 RFID를 적용하기위한 표준 주파수 대역 및 재질에 따른 적정 태그를 제시하고자 한다.

Water pipeline network in local and metropolitan area is buried underground, by which it is hard to know the degree of pipe aging and leakage. In this study, assuming various sensor combinations installed in the water pipeline network, the optimal algorithm was derived by predicting the water flow rate and pressure through artificial intelligence algorithms such as linear regression and neuro fuzzy analysis to examine the possibility of detecting pipe leakage according to the data combination. In the case of leakage detection through water supply pressure prediction, Neuro fuzzy algorithm was superior to linear regression analysis. In case of leakage detection through water supply flow prediction, flow rate prediction using neuro fuzzy algorithm should be considered first. If flow meter for prediction don't exists, linear regression algorithm should be considered instead for pressure estimation.

The purpose of this study is to assess contaminant transfer and environmental impacts to the surroundings by inadequate control of USTs. Several methodologies can be used to approach for the site assessment depending on the appearance of contaminants on the site and their types. In this case study, randomized and/or triangle matrix techniques were used. As a result, the composition of materials in tank station were appeared in several state. From 1 to 1.5m depth, the soil was composed of reclaimed soils. And 1.8-3.5m depth, silty sand was appeared and about 4m, weathered soil was appeared. Based on the preliminary and actual site investigation by DPT methodologies on the width and depth of the site with analysis of BTEX and TPH, the contamination was found in this tank station and already distributed near areas. Finally, it was found that the hydroflow differences during the season affects the area and depth of contamination.
