Seventy percent of Korea's national territory is covered with mountains, and the land is frequently exposed to typhoons and localized torrential downpours, particularly in July through September. For this reason, slope failure is one of the most frequent types of natural disasters in Korea. To prevent the damage caused by slope failure, the Korean government, academia and industry have strived together to develop and install a wired system for monitoring slope failures. However, conventional wired monitoring systems have been reported to have limitations, such as possible system errors caused by lightning, and the difficulties of restoration and management of the systems. To solve these problems, this research suggests a USN-based monitoring system for slope failures. First, the trend of slope measurement and USN technology was analyzed, and then the current status of damage caused by slope failures in Korea was reviewed. Next, a USN-based monitoring scenario for slope failures, incorporating both USN and slope monitoring technique, was developed. Finally, sensors were decided based on the developed scenario. It is expected that the results of this study will be utilized as fundamental data for the development of monitoring prototype systems for slope failures in the future. The development of the USN-based monitoring system for slope failures and its application in the field will also ultimately contribute to the prevention of slope failures and the minimization of related damage.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to identify factors affecting anxiety about disaster damage potential in Gyonggi-do and evacuation behavior that influences evacuation behavior. Method: Multiple regression analysis was performed to test the hypothesis and to analyze the influence of anxiety about disaster damage potential and perceived stress, and analyzed similarity in correspondence between age and anxiety about disaster damage potential. Results: The anxiety about disaster damage potential of a group vulnerable to safety and anxiety about disaster damage potential of disaster system collapse were perceived in close proximity. Disaster system collapse, evacuation life, and natural disasters were found to be factors affecting perceived stress. Stress and natural disasters were found to be influencing factors on evacuation behavior. Conclusion: The necessity of managing stress was confirmed since anxiety about natural disaster damage potential and stress affect evacuation behavior. The recent experiences of heavy rain disasters indicate that the anxiety about disaster damage potential is expected to increase. The findings also indicate the importance of preventive planning and psychological management to manage the anxiety about disaster damage potential.

외국의 경우, 지진활동이 활발하지 않은 지역에서 강진이 발생하고, 최근 국내의 빈번해진 지진 발생 등의 이유로 내진설계 기준의 정립 및 강화가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 교량의 내진설계는 다음과 같은 몇 가지 한계점을 가지고 있다. l) 첫째 내진구조는 짧은 고유주기로 인하여 유발되는 지진력 자체가 매우 크다. 둘째, 설계지진을 능가하는 지진 발생시 구조물이 붕괴될 가능성이 크다. 즉 내진여유도가 작다. 셋째, 내진설계는 설계지진력 이상의 지진의 발생을 완전히 배제하지 않는데, 그러한 지진발생시 지지력이 모두 고정단이 위치한 교각에 집중되어 그 교각의 받침이 파괴되어 설계개념을 상실할 가능성이 높다.

In this study, collapsed building detection using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and PlanetScope satellite images was carried out, suggesting the possibility of utilization of heterogeneous sensors in object detection located on the surface. To this end, the area where about 20 buildings collapsed due to forest fire damage was selected as study site. First of all, the feature information of objects such as ExG (Excess Green), GLCM (Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix), and DSM (Digital Surface Model) were generated using high-resolution UAV images performed object-based segmentation to detect collapsed buildings. The features were then used to detect candidates for collapsed buildings. In this process, a result of the change detection using PlanetScope were used together to improve detection accuracy. More specifically, the changed pixels acquired by the bitemporal PlanetScope images were used as seed pixels to correct the misdetected and overdetected areas in the candidate group of collapsed buildings. The accuracy of the detection results of collapse buildings using only UAV image and the accuracy of collapse building detection result when UAV and PlanetScope images were used together were analyzed through the manually dizitized reference image. As a result, the results using only UAV image had 0.4867 F1-score, and the results using UAV and PlanetScope images together showed that the value improved to 0.8064 F1-score. Moreover, the Kappa coefficiant value was also dramatically improved from 0.3674 to 0.8225.

Sunken ships cause damage to the environment due to the dispersal of fuel oil and harmful cargo goods in the hull. Since the sunken ship is mostly flooded by the seabed, it tends to be in a relatively stable condition. However, the heavy body, together with the load of remaining goods in the cargo hold, the constant contact with the seabed, and ocean currents and tidal waves, can affect dispersal of residual fuel oils out of the sunken ship. Corrosion of the sunken ship starts upon sinking, decreasing the thickness of the hull structure and sub-materials. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the structural stability against the potential breakdown of the sunken ship. Whilst evaluating the danger of the sunken ship, this result should be reflected in 'the possible discharge'. This study was undertaken to suggest a procedure for a step by step evaluation to assess the structural stability a sunken ship. The structural stability assessment to estimate the collapsibility of the hull was structure targeted at the sunken ship 'No. 7 HaeSung', which was classified as the prime example for the intensive management of sunken ships. This study was undertaken to suggest a procedure for a step by step evaluation to assess the structural stability a sunken ship and to propose a method to conduct a structural safety assessment that estimates the collapsibility of the hull by targeting the sunken ship 'No. 7 HaeSung',which was classified as the prime example for the intensive management of sunken ships. The collapsibility of the hull structure was estimated Based on the damage size of the hull structure, and the corrosion rate of the hull structure and sub-materials due to the seawater after sinking. It was confirmed that there was a low possibility of the total destruction of the hull structure at the current time. However, there is a high possibility in the potential failure of the hull structure due to increased rate of corrosion thereafter. Therefore, we believe continuous study on influence of corrosion and marine environment change to sunken ship's structural safety is necessary.

In this paper a new analysis procedure for evaluation of progressive collapse resisting capacity of a structure was proposed based on the nonlinear static analysis procedure. The proposed procedure produces analysis results identical to those obtained by the linear static analysis procedure specified in the GSA guidelines without iteration, therefore saving a lot of computation time and excluding the possibility of human errors during the procedure. To verify the validity of the proposed procedure, the two methods were applied to the analysis of a reinforced concrete moment frame and a steel braced frame subjected to loss of a first story column and the results were compared. According to the analysis results, the two methods produce identical results in the prediction of progressive collapse and the hinge formation. As iterative analysis is not required in the proposed method, significant amount of analysis time is saved in the proposed analysis procedure.

One of the primary factors like plate structure in ship is redundancy structure that is comparable with ocean structure and frame structure. The more component material becomes buckling collapsed locally the less structure stiffness becomes accordingly. As a result, by increasing the load distribution of my other subsidiary structure continually component member collapses, therefore the structure could be in danger of collapse. So, in order to interpret this phenomenon precisely, the study on boundary condition of the ship's plate and post-buckling analysis must be considered In this study, the rectangular plate is compressed by the in-plane load Buckling & Ultimate strength characteristics are applied o be the elasto-plasticity large deformation by ansys code with F.E.M method On this basis, elasto-plasticity of the plain plate are investigated. This study proved elasto-plasticity behaviour of the ship's plate in accordance with boundary condition based on the series analysis in case of the compressive load operation

Investigation methods of cut slope are conducted generally only geological surface survey to gain engineering geological data of cut slopes. These methods have many problems such as limitation of investigation for a special area. So geophysical investigations such as geotomography, seismic and electrical resistivity methods have been used to search for failure surface in potential failure slopes or failed slopes. But investigation method using the borehole camera is recently a used method and it is thought that this method is more reliable method than other investigation methods because of being able to see by the eyes. Therefore, this paper was conducted investigations of 4 boleholes and BIPS (Borehole Image Processing System) to search for potential sliding surfaces and was applied to obtain information of discontinuity on failed highway slope. As the results of BIPS, we could decide potential sliding surface in the slope and conducted to check slope stability. And decided slope stability measures.

Slopes are commonly formed both above and below roads located in mountainous terrain and along riversides. The Buk-sil site, a cut slope formed below the road, collapsed in October, 2010. A field investigation determined the causes of failure as improper drainage of valley water from the slope above the road and direct seepage of road-surface water. These factors may have accelerated the collapse via complex interaction between water and sub-surface structures such as bedding. Projection analysis of the site showed the possible involvement of plane, wedge, and toppling failure. Safety factors calculated by Limit Equilibrium Analysis for plane and wedge failure were below the standard for wet conditions. The wetness index, analyzed using topographic factors of the study area, was 9.0-10.5, which is high compared with the values calculated for nearby areas. This finding indicates a high concentration of water flow. We consider that water-flow control on the upper road is crucial for enhancing slope stability at the Buk-sil site.
