The fact that the smoke hinders evacuation and fire-fighting activities as well as becomes the major cause of life casualty emphasizes the importance of smoke control system. As one of the fire safety standards designed to secure the smoke safety, NFSC501A (Design Guide for Smoke Control System of Special Evacuation Stairwell and Lobby) has been proposed, preventing smoke from penetrating into the smoke-free escape route by raising the pressure of the smoke control zone higher than fire area. For model building of 20 stories, pressurization system was designed according to standard and pressure field of compartments in whole building induced by pressurization system was analyzed using the network model.

In this research, full-scale fire test was performed on a real house for the evaluation of the performance of waterworks direct-coupled sprinkler system. The fire was set to occur as spontaneous combustion as the cooking oil overheats. The size of house is $56m^2$ and it consists of a living room, a kitchen, and a room. In order to verify the performance of waterworks direct-coupled sprinkler system, it was installed in the kitchen. The result of the test showed that the fire started from the kitchen enlarged up to its ceiling but it was soon exhausted as the sprinkler started to work. The pressure of the waterworks was 0.28 MPa when the sprinkler operated, by which it verified that fire could go out even by waterworks pressure of the general residence.

A vertical hot-firing test facility was established to carry out the IPPT(Integrated Propulsion Performance Test) and SQT(Stage Qualification Test) of KSR-III(Korea Sounding Rocket-III). The components for actual launcher were mostly used, hence these tests were carried out under the condition of relatively lower safety margin. To perform hot-firing tests with the maximum safety, an engine emergency blockage system was investigated and applied. An emergency blockage system using combustion chamber pressures and acceleration signals was set up to monitor ignition delay and fail, flame out, propellant feeding status, unstable combustion and excessive structural vibration. With such a system, the test safety could be secured by rapid judgement and follow-up measures, which made IPPT and SQT be safely completed.

Experimental study was conducted to identify the active agent for reductive dechlorination of TCE in cement/Fe(II) systems. Several potential materials-hematite (${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$), lepidocrocite (${\gamma}$-FeOOH), akaganeite (${\beta}$-FeOOH), ettringite ($Ca_6Al_2(SO_4)_3(OH)_{12}$)-that are cement components or parts of cement hydrates were tested if they could act as reducing agents by conducting TCE degradation experiments. From the initial degradation experiments, hematite was selected as a potential active agent. The pseudo-first-order degradation rate constant ($k\;=\;0.637\;day^{-1}$) for the system containing 200 mM Fe(II), hematite and CaO was close to that ($k\;=\;0.645\;day^{-1}$) obtained from the system containing cement and 200 mM Fe(II). CaO, which was originally added to simulate pH of the cement/Fe(II) system, was found to play an important role in degradation reactions. The reactivity of the hematite/CaO/Fe(II) system initially increased with increase of CaO dosage. However, the tendency declined in the higher CaO dosage region, implying a saturation type of behavior. The SEM analysis revealed that the hexagonal plane-shaped crystals were formed during the reaction with increasing degradation efficiency, which was brought about by increasing the CaO dosage. It was suspected that the crystals could be portlandite or green rust ($SO_4$) or Friedel's salt. The XRD analysis of the same sample identified the peaks of hematite, magnetite/maghemite, green rust ($SO_4$). Either instrumental analysis predicted the presence of the green rust ($SO_4$). Therefore, the green rust ($SO_4$) would potentially be a reactive agent for reductive dechlorination in cement/Fe(II) systems.

The application of the Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) methodology to analyze the environmental burden of appling the digestates to corn field including different swine waste treatment systems was investigated. The first part of LCA is an inventory of parameters used to emissions released due to the system under investigation. In the following step, the Life Cycle Impact Assessment, the inventory data were analyzed and aggregated in order to finally get one index representing the each environmental burden. Each corn field applied with the aerobic and anaerobic digestates including different swine waste treatment systems was used as an example for the life cycle impact analysis. With analyzing the agricultural environmental burden, it observed that the effect of corn field applied aerobic digestate including digestion system was 7.6 times higher at eutrophication effects, but global warming potential effect was 0.9 times less than its applied anaerobic digestate.

The purpose of this study is developing the computer program for hydraulic design sprinkler systems have performed the means for the general use of network analysis method. The computer program is based on the theoretical concepts of the related Hazen-Williams equations, a modified Bernoulli equations, and the Hardy Cross method of pipe network analysis. Looped piping calculations are solved by using either the Hardy Cross method or the other iteration methods. While the other methods are solved using simultaneous equations, the Hardy Cross method is concerned with one loop at a time using reiterative process. Due to its simplicity the Hardy Cross method will be the primary method described in this thesis. The purpose of this study is to develope hydraulic calculation program by using algorithm for network analysis method. The development of computer program for the hydraulic design of sprinkler systems will perform the means in the performance-based sprinkler system design.

Diseases in the gastro-intestinal track are on an increasing trend. In order to diagnose a patient, the various signals of the digestive organ, such as temperature, pH, and pressure, can offer the helpful information. Among the above mentioned signals, we choose the pressure variation as a monitoring signal. The variation of a pressure signal of the gastro-intestinal track can offer the information of a digestive trouble or some clues of the diseases. In this paper, a pressure monitoring system for the digestive organs of a living pig is presented. This system concept is to transmit the measured biomedical signals from a transmitter in a living pig to wireless receiver that is positioned out of body. The integrated solution includes the following parts: (1) the swallow type pressure capsule, (2) the receiving set consisting of a receiver, decoder box, and PC. The merit of the proposed system if that the monitoring system can supply the precise and repeatable pressure in the gastro-intestinal track. In addition, the design of low power consumption enables it to keep sending reliable signals while the pressure capsule is working in the digestive organ. The subject of the study for the pressure monitoring system is in-vivo experiments for a living pig. We achieved the pressure tracings in digestive organs and verified the validity of system after several in-vivo tests using pressure monitoring system. As a result, we found each organ has its own characterized pressure fluctuation.

화재 시뮬레이션을 이용하면, 건축물에서 화재가 발생하는 경우 건물에 설치된 감지 시스템 및 자동식 소화설비 등의 작동 여부에 따라 건물 내부의 온도 변화, 산소 및 일산화탄소 농도 변화, 연기유동 현상 등 화재 안전에 관련된 요소를 확인, 분석이 가능하기 때문에 건물의 화재 안전성을 검증하는데 활용할 수 있고 방재시스템 설계 조건을 변경하여 반복 시뮬레이션을 실시함으로써 보다 효율성이 높은 방재 시스템을 설계 및 채택할 수 있다. 또한 화재 시뮬레이션 결과를 감안하여 유사시 효과적으로 대응할 수 있도록 방재계획을 수립할 수 있고, 건축물의 구조, 내장재 및 수용품에 대한 설계, 배치 등에 사용할 수 있으며, 화재사고조사 및 원인 규명에도 활용할 수 있는 등 화재 시뮬레이션의 활용분야는 광범위하다. 최근 국내에도 화재로 인한 인적/물적 피해와 화재 안전 설계에 대한 관심증가로 화재 모델에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 연구가 시뮬레이션을 이용한 결과 분석에 치중되어있고 화재 시뮬레이션에 관한 특성 연구 및 개발은 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 자료는 국내에서 화재 시뮬레이션 코드로 많이 알려지지 않았으며, 유럽에서 개발된 SOFIE(Simulation of Fire in enclosures)에 대해서 기초적인 연구를 수행하였으며, SOFIE에 대한 특정 문제나 평가 부분은 다루지 아니하였다.

본 논문에서는 화재 및 재난 발생 시 재난관리솔루션을 활용한 통합방재시스템의 구축에 대한 내용을 서술하고 있다. 크고 작은 재난 관련 사건, 사고들이 끊이지 않고 있고 사건, 사고 발생시 효과적이고 신속한 대응 또한 요구되고 있다. 빠르게 변화하는 세상과 맞물려 건축물들도 과학기술의 발전과 더불어 점점 더 복잡해지는 양상을 보여주고 있으며 재난과 관련된 시설들도 다양화, 밀집화, 고도화 되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 시설들을 효율적으로 관리하고 제어할 수 있는 솔루션의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 또한, 이에 따른 위험도가 증가되면서 건축물의 관리자는 다양한 정보처리(소방, CCTV, 출입통제, 침입방지 등), 전문 기술, 관리 능력의 고도화가 요구되고 있다. 화재 및 재난 발생시 중요 역할을 하는 소방시설 및 관련 시설들이 상호 연계 없이 개별적으로 운영 된다면 소화활동 및 피난에 혼란을 주어 피해를 가중 시키게 된다. 따라서 재난 및 비상사태 발생 시, 피해 확산을 감소하기 위해서는 첨단화된 재난관리솔루션인 PSIM을 활용한 통합방재시스템 구축을 통해 화재 및 재난을 예측 예방하고 실시간으로 상황을 파악하여 골든타임을 확보하고 컨트롤타워 역할을 효과적으로 수행하게 해야한다. 재난관리솔루션을 활용하여 효율적인 운영 및 관리함으로써 위험 절감, 사전 계획수립을 통한 신속한 대응, 효율적 연동을 통한 재난대응효과 향상 및 비용절감의 효과가 기대된다.
