A conventional Design for Safety (DfS), introduced to eliminate potential hazards in the design phase proactively, has encountered persistent challenges, such as perfunctory risk assessments and hazard identifications based on 2D drawings and inefficient workflow processes. This study proposes a BIM-based approach to Design for Safety (DfS) to address the limitations of conventional methods, aiming to enhance efficiency and achieve practical safety management benefits. The proposed workflow process for BIM-based DfS has been refined and validated for on-site applicability through various case studies, including risk assessments during the design phase and field applications for safety management activities during the construction phase. Specifically, the critical process of risk assessment within the DfS methodology has also been transitioned to a BIM-based approach. This BIM-based risk assessment process has been evaluated through case studies, encompassing safety reviews for structural design, construction equipment operation, and construction methodology with sequence in design projects. Additionally, the proposed BIM-based DfS has demonstrated exceptional on-site applicability and efficiency, as validated by the application of a BIM deliverable embedded in DfS information for CDE-based daily activity briefing, VR-based safety training, AR-based mitigation measures inspections, and other safety management activities in the construction phase.

A new indexing methodology so called KTH-index was developed to quantitatively evaluate a potential level for tunnel collapse hazard, which has been successfully applied to tunnel construction sites to date. In this study, an attempt is made to apply this methodology for validating an outcome of tunnel design by checking the variation of KTH-index along longitudinal tunnel section. In this KTH-index simulation, it is the most important to determine the input factors reasonably. The design factor and construction condition are set up based on the designed outcome. Uncertain ground conditions are arranged based on borehole test and electro-resistivity survey data. Two scenarios for ground conditions, best and worst scenarios, are set up. From this simulation, it is shown that this methodology could be successfully applied for providing quantitative validity of a tunnel design and also potential hazard factors which should be carefully monitored in construction stage. The hazard factors would affect sensitively the hazard level of the tunnel site under consideration.

본 논문에서는 자율운항선박의 예측 가능한 운항 경로 상에 잠재된 비상상황을 인식하기 위하여 운항 해역의 항적 정보를 활용한 방안과 이를 기반으로 충돌 위험과 같은 비상위험을 식별하는 프레임워크를 설계하였다. 설계한 프레임워크는 크게 항적 특성 분석 모듈, 항로예측 모듈, 위험 식별 모듈로 구성된다. 항적 특성 분석 모듈에서는 자율운항선박의 운항 해역에 관한 선박들의 항적 정보를 활용하기 위하여, 대상 VTS 관제 영역 내에서 취합된 누적 선박자동식별장치(AIS) 데이터를 이용하여 선박의 항적 특성을 분석하여 데이터베이스(DB)를 생성하였다. 그리고 운항 경로 예측 모듈에서는 누적된 항적 정보와 자율운항선박의 현재 운항 정보를 기반으로 특정 시간 동안의 운항 경로를 예측하기 위한 학습 네트워크 모델을 구성하였다. 마지막으로, 위험 식별 모듈에서는 예측한 운항 경로 상에 최근접점과 최근접점 거리 정보를 이용하여 충돌 위험 가능성이 있는 충돌위험영역을 식별하였다. 설계한 프레임워크는 자율운항선박의 육상 관제소에서 원격 제어를 통해 위험상황을 인지하고 회피할 수 있는 정보를 제공할 수 있음을 실제 항적 데이터를 활용하여 그 결과를 검증하였다.

The risk-targeted seismic design concept was first included in ASCE/SEI 7-10 to address problems related to the uniform-hazard based seismic concept that has been constructed without explicitly considering probabilistic uncertainties in the collapse capacities of structures. However, this concept is not yet reflected to the current Korean building code(KBC) because of insufficient strong earthquake data occurred at the Korean peninsula and little information on the collapse capacities of structures. This study evaluates the risk-targeted seismic performance of steel ordinary concentrically braced frames(OCBFs). To do this, the collapse capacities of prototype steel OCBFs are assessed with various analysis parameters including building locations, building heights and soil conditions. The seismic hazard curves are developed using an empirical spectral shape prediction model that is capable of reflecting the characteristics of earthquake records. The collapse probabilities of the prototype steel OCBFs located at the Korean major cities are then evaluated using the risk integral concept. As a result, analysis parameters considerably influence the collapse probabilities of steel OCBFs. The collapse probabilities of taller steel OCBFs exceed the target seismic risk of 1 percent in 50 years, which the introduction of the height limitation of steel OCBFs into the future KBC should be considered.

As electric and electronic control systems have sharply increased in vehicles, safety accident has emerged as an important issue. Therefore, in order to ensure safety of the vehicle, engineers are required to identify the hazards utilizing PHA and HAZOP, etc. in the early phase of development and implement safety mechanisms to prevent them. HAZOP has been widely used in a systematic manner based on guidewords. However, HAZOP identifies malfunctions from the top-level functionality provided by the system, so it cannot sufficiently identify hazards during the system operation. This leads to restrictions in designing testcases, because the safety requirements are derived from only some of the hazards. This research aimed to provide a hazard identification method utilizing Use case description, which defines operation procedure of the system and HAZOP and a testcase design method based on safety requirements. We introduced a case study on Smart Key Control System in vehicles and compared with hazards identification results based on HAZOP, to demonstrate the effectiveness of this study. The result of this study could potentially reduce development cost and increase system quality by adequately identifying hazards and safety requirements and designing the related testcase.

This paper describes the design and trial development of a system that supports continuous hazard mapping by local residents in their daily life. We performed an interview survey to design our system in a model traditional town in Saga Prefecture, Japan. The results show that despite continued efforts, many practical problems remain and residents feel unsafe. Considering these results, we designed and developed a unique information and communication technology-based support system that contributes to community-based disaster prevention and reduction. The continuous resident participation and posting design are the core concept for our community-based approach. Our system continues to support making a hazard map by integrating the community-based hazard information. Local residents register information (disaster types, risk level, photographs, comments, positional information) about locations that could be dangerous in a disaster. In addition, our system enables information sharing through a Web server. We expect that this information sharing will allow local hazard information for each district to be used.

최근 재난 발생 빈도가 증가함에 따라 재난이 발생 시 사람들에게 재난에 대한 정보를 전달하는 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 기존에는 재난이 발생 시 지역단위로 다양한 매체를 통해 사람들에게 정보를 제공 하고 있다. 하지만 지역단위(시군구 or 읍면)로 정보를 제공하고 있어 위험 발생지역과 동일 지역에 있더라도 위험 영향범위 내에 있지 않는 사람에게도 동일한 재난정보를 제공하고 있어 혼란을 야기 할 수 있는 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 재난 발생 지점을 기반으로 Segment 를 생성하고 관리 하여 위험지역의 사람들에게만 정보를 제공할 수 있는 Segment 기반 재난 정보 제공 시스템을 설계 한다. 제안한 시스템은 재난 발생 시 재난 종류에 따라 위험 지역을 세분화 하고 발생 지점을 중심으로 Segment 를 생성한다. Segment 에 포함된 인구를 추출하고 위험 지역 별로 재난 정보를 제공한다.

Recently, the demand on the practical application of life-cycle cost effectiveness for design and rehabilitation of structure is rapidly growing unprecedently in engineering practice. Accordingly, in the 21st century, it is almost obvious that life-cycle cost together with value engineering will become a new paradigm for all engineering decision problems in practice. However, in spite of impressive progress in the researches on the LCC, the most researches have only focused on the Deterministic or Probabilistic LCC analysis approach (Level-1 LCC Model) at design stage. Thus, the goal of this study is to develop a practical and realistic methodology for the Lifetime risk based Life-Cycle Cost (LCC)-effective optimum decision-making at design stage.

컴포넌트 기반 개발은 컴포넌트 재사용을 통해 생산성을 향상시키고, 검증된 컴포넌트의 사용으로 소프트웨어 품질을 증대시키며, 개발비용 및 일정의 단축을 유도하는 등 기존의 소프트웨어 개발 방법에 비해 다양한 이점을 보유하고 있다. 이러한 이점에도 불구하고 컴포넌트 기반개발을 성공적으로 정착시키란 쉬운 일이 아니다. 이는 바로 컴포넌트 기반 개발의 특성상 발생할 수 있는 위험을 체계적으로 관리하지 못했기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 컴포넌트 기반 개발 시 발생할 수 있는 위험을 분석하고 영향을 미치는 측정 메트릭을 조사하여 위험을 정량적으로 측정하기 위한 초석을 마련하였다. 또한 컴포넌트 기반 개발 시 발생할 수 있는 위험을 체계적으로 관리하기 위한 'CBD 개발과제 위험 노출도를 줄이기 위한 OT(Opportunity Tree)'를 제시하였다.s;를 제시하였다.
