An accurate fire danger rating model can contribute to effective forest fire prevention activities. This study evaluates the national forest fire danger rating index based on forest fire statistics data from 1999 to 2002. The number of fires was related to the forest fire danger rating index $(R^2=0.67)$, and no correlation was found with burned areas. A one-way ANOVA test between forest fire danger rating levels and forest fire statistics data indicated that a difference in the number of fires was found among 'danger', 'precaution' and 'none' levels, but 'precaution' and 'none' levels could not be delineated. In the case of a burned area, no difference was found among the three levels.

As the occurrence of ground subsidence near the excavation site increases recently, studies are being conducted to predict the possibility of ground subsidence prior to excavation. In this study, the ground subsidence risk rating for pre-excavation (GSRp) developed by the previous study was applied to actual excavation sites to verify its applicability. The final results for the evaluation of the ground subsidence risk level for five excavation sites revealed that GSRp scores were calculated between 40 and 79 points and classified mainly into grades II (Good Ground)~III (Fair Ground). In order to verify the evaluation method, the obtained GSRp grades were compared with the measured horizontal displacements. The horizontal displacements measured in five excavation sites were between 25% and 47% of the allowable displacement, which were well agreed with the low subsidence risk level obtained from GSRp calculation. It is expected that the GSRp method can be used as an evaluation tool for predicting the risk of ground subsidence before excavation if GSRp is verified and supplemented through the additional research for the poor soil with the high risk of ground subsidence.

우리나라는 매년 집중호우로 인한 산사태로 인해 인적, 물질적 피해를 일으킨다. 반복적인 산사태의 피해를 방지 하기위해서는 산사태 예측 시스템이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 안성시를 대상으로 GIS와 RS 자료를 활용하여 산사태 위험지를 분석하고자 Logistic 회귀분석 방법과 AHP 기법을 이용하였다. Logistic 회귀분석과 AHP 기법에는 6개의 인자(경사, 경사향, 고도, 토양배수, 토심, 토지이용)를 사용하여, 7등급으로 산사태 위험도를 분류하였다. Logistic 회귀분석 방법과 AHP 기법을 이용한 산사태 위험지도를 표본 자료와 비교하면 산사태가 발생한 표본에서 산사태 위험성이 높은(1-2등급)지역이 Logistic 회귀분석에서는 46.1% AHP 기법은 48.7%로 분류되어 AHP 기법이 분류도가 높다고 분석 되었다. 하지만 Logistic 회귀분석과 AHP 기법은 서로 분석 과정의 차이를 가지고 있기 때문에 Logistic 회귀분석과 AHP기법을 적용한 결과에 동일 가중치를 부여한 후 7개 등급으로 재분류(reclass)하여 산사태 위험지역을 추출 할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하였다. 그 결과 산사태가 발생한 표본에서 1-2등급지역이 58.9%로 분석되어 분류정확도를 높일 수 있었다.

Foundation failure due to bridge scour during floods is the leading cause of bridge failure. Performed were the evaluation of bridge scour vulnerability and prioritization on real bridges registered in the National Highway Bridge Inventory of the capital region. The case studies for 30 national highway bridges consist of site investigation including boring test, bridge scour analysis fur the design flood, bearing capacity evaluation of the bridge foundation before and after scour, comprehensive evaluation of bridge scour vulnerability, and prioritization. Nine of 26 spread (feting bridges showed the potential future vulnerability to scour with significant decrease in the bearing capacity of foundations due to scour and the remaining 17 spread footing bridges were expected to maintain their stability to resist the effects of scour. Three of 4 pile foundation bridges exhibited considerable decrease in the bearing capacity of foundation after scour.

While a performance based sprinkler design method has been widely used in UK and USA according to fire hazards of occupancies, Korean fire safety industry could not yet accept it due to nonstandardization on risk level of various occupancy. Even only two or three spray pattern sprinkler was produced in Korea fire safety industry, therefore, various spray pattern sprinklers have not yet introduced to major occupancies. Spray pattern sprinklers with one of two K value have been used in all occupancies in Korea Market. UK and USA's Fire industry should produced the spray sprinklers with various K-factors and protection area due to performance based sprinkler design requirement. Therefore the fire load density for main occupancies has been investigated in order to compare with installation standard in advanced countries. Eventually a lot of variations in orifice and K factors of standard heads were set up including special heads needed for high hazard areas such as large drop type, enlarged orifice type and early suppression fast response.

The fire risk and fire safety of four types of wood were comprehensively evaluated according to Chung's equation-XII. White ash, willow, fraxinus mandshurica, and sagent cherry trees were selected as test specimens. A cone calorimetery (ISO 5660-1) was used to examine the combustion characteristics of the test piece, and finally, the fire risk rating (FRR) was predicted using the fire risk index-XII (FRI-XII). The predicted fire performance index-X (FPI-X) and fire growth index-X (FGI-X) ranged from 469.03 to 1109.73 s²/kW and 0.0009 to 0.0280 kW/s², respectively. Additionally, the fire performance index-XI (FPI-XI) and fire growth index-XI (FGI-XI) ranged from 0.41 to 0.97 and 1.11 to 3.11, respectively. The fire risk index-XII (FRI-XII), representing a fire risk rating, showed that the fire risk of frasxinus mandsurica tree (FM) was very high at 7.60 (fire risk rating: D). And it was compared with Chung's equation-IX, fire risk index-IX (FRI-IX). The fire risk ratings according to FRI-IX and FRI-XII were generally high for willow and frasxinus mandsurica trees. Additionally, the results of FRI-XII and FRI-IX had a similar relationship, and the size of each fire safety rating closely matched each other.

Vehicle collision to bridges has been known as one of the causes of bridge collapse, and the emergency plans and disaster management has been recently emphasized to secure public safety. This study conducted risk assessment of vehicular collision to bridges for highway bridges in Korea. Risk assessment consists of three steps; preliminary risk analysis(PRA), simplified risk analysis(SRA) and detailed risk analysis(DRA). The PRA firstly screens out the possibility of occurrence of the event. The SRA identifies influencial factors to risk of the event and evaluates risk scores to determine risk levels and necessity of DRA that investigates the risk of the bridge in detail. This study focuses on the methodology of the risk assessment, especially the SRA, and the stratification methods which evaluate risk levels of vehicular collision. The analysis results were compared to the reported vehicular collision accidents. The proposed method can be utilized in similar disaster management area.
