When constructing railway stations, gates shall be located in appropriate locations for convenient use. However, to reduce construction costs, the number of gates was minimized and the location was not appropriately placed to the direction of many users. This study proposed a method to calculate the benefits of additional gate installations using the improvement of pedestrian traffic flow, occupied area and travel time as economic effects. In particular, a method of estimating the percentage of people using certain gates and the number of people by route within the station was proposed. This method was applied to analyze the effect of additional gates to Gwang-myeong Station on the Shinansan Line, which is to be opened in 2025. The effect has only improved in mobility. The first year of its opening was estimated at 5.91 billion won for mobility and 75.8 billion won for cost, and the B/C was 1.21 for 30 years after its opening. It is expected that this method will be applied to systematic effect analysis when additional gates are installed at unopened railway stations as well as existing railway stations.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the minimum effective width (90cm) of the exit of the evacuation stairway installed in accordance with the Building Act and the evacuation time of all occupants using the corresponding floor from an evacuation point of view. Method: The evacuation simulation (Pathfinder) was used to investigate how the change in doorway width affects the evacuation time of occupants. Result: It was found that as the effective width of the doorway became larger than the minimum standard of 90cm, the evacuation time to the evacuation stairs was shortened. This is also proof that the effective width of the evacuation stair entrance can be appropriately applied differently depending on the number of occupants on the floor. Conclusion: In the future, in order to secure evacuation safety of occupants, it is judged that the effective width standard for the exit of the evacuation stairway considering the total number of occupants by use is necessary. In addition, it is expected that the evacuation efficiency of occupants can be greatly increased if various effective width standards for entrances are made according to the number of occupants by use through research and experiments.

The present study measured the light transmission to quantify the smoke density(smoke mass concentration) through the doorway in a compartment fire and performed the uncertainty analysis to evaluate the reliability of the measurement technique. The optical light extinction method based on Bourguer's law was applied to estimate the smoke density of doorway exhausting smoke flow in upper layer of a compartment for methane gas fires. The measurement uncertainty of the light extinction measurement was evaluated for the light transmittance, path length, and specific mass extinction coefficient and the expanded uncertainty was estimated about 20% with confidence level of 95%. The mean smoke density through the doorway for the methane fire was calculated for quasi-steady fire and the smoke density linearly increased as the GER increased.

This paper presents a study on the evacuation analysis in underground arcade. In this study, the effect of the exit with a windbreak door has been investigated by using evacuation simulation program (building EXODUS). Also, the simulation has included the impact of smoke, heat and toxic gases by fire simulation program (CFAST). The results were obtained for the conditions of without and with door of the two exit with 1,088 evacuation population. As a results, for non-fire evacuation, there was only a little difference of evacuation time for both conditions. However, for fire emergency evacuation, the evacuation time for the condition with door increased more 110 seconds than for the condition without door. When the auto door not opened, the evacuation time was increased more 670 seconds than for the condition without door. Consequently, in case of fire, the automatic door should be operating by the signal of fire detector and keep open when the fire accidents. To lead the evacuees well to the escape route the luminaries for an emergency exit sign have to be reinforced to the wall and floor around the exit.

In this research, the proper number of entrances in the evacuation facilities for civil and military personnel was determined by using parametric study and regression analysis. The current standards on the emergency evacuation facility only set the number of possible evacuees and the architectural floor area after the evacuation have been completed. On the other hand, there are needs to consider the dynamic standards along with allowable evacuation time such as the number of entrance, staircases and so on rather than the static standards such as the floor area. The number of entrances and their location are required in order to account for the allowed evacuation time of particular number of people in a set area. The results of this research could be contributed to the standards which should contain the dynamic conditions associated with evacuation.

A fire shutter is installed to prevent the movement of fire or smoke when a fire occurs inside a building. Fire shutters have access doors for passengers. On the other hand, the present fire shutter door display regulation is only required to be displayed in a different color from the surroundings. Hence, the risk of people not being able to recognize the door of the fire shutter is quite high, and the danger increases further in a smoke situation. Therefore, this study attempted to find a way to mark a fire shutter door that can be recognized even when smoke is spreading. First, a preliminary questionnaire was used to draw three factors to mark the fire shutter door (sign, door background, and edge). The experiment type was set by combining 5 colors for the three derived factors. The experiment was conducted on a total of 122 male and female participants. The results showed that a yellow background, red sign, and red edge have the highest awareness in a normal visual field without smoke. This was also the same in the field of view in the case of a fire with smoke, but the red background, yellow sign, and yellow edge were most noticeable in the case of dark smoke.

도시화로 인해 인구가 도시로 집중되고, 불투수층이 증가되어 유출율이 지속적으로 커지고 있다. 또한 최근의 기후변화에 의하여 홍수 및 침수가 빈번해짐에 따라, 도시에서 내수침수를 방지하기 위한 새로운 패러다임이 필요한 실정이다. 기존 내수침수 해결방안은 배수능력을 증가시키기 위해 하수관거 용량을 키우고, 펌프장을 증설하였으나, 국지적이고 기습적인 집중호우가 내리는 경우에는 국민의 생명과 재산을 보호하기 어려운 부분이 있다. 이에 따라 지하방수로와 도시물순환 등 중장기계획이 수립되고 있으나, 지하철 출입구, 지하 주차장 출입구, 건물 외부 출입구 등 평상시에는 출입구로 사용하다가 홍수시에 내수침수를 방지하기 위한 차수벽에 대한 다양한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 국내 외 차수벽에 대한 조사 및 분석결과 국외의 경우 자동 수동 반자동의 다양한 차수벽이 제시되어 있으나, 국내의 경우에는 이제야 제품개발이 시작되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 내수침수 피해가 큰 영국이나 미국의 뉴욕시의 경우 건축법에 의해 내수침수피해를 막을 수 있는 가이드라인이 제시되어 있으며, 실증실험도 진행되고 있으나 국내의 경우에는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구는 국내 외 차수벽에 대한 조사 및 분석을 수행하고, 자동차수벽을 위한 가이드라인을 제시하며, 수치모의와 수리모형실험을 통해 국내에서 사용가능한 적정 자동차수벽을 제시하고자 한다. 특히, ICT와 연계를 통해 원격제어 및 관리가 되도록 시스템을 구성하도록 한다. 이에 따라 본 연구를 통해 국내에서 사용가능한 내수침수방지가 가능한 자동차수벽이 제시된다면, 기후변화와 도시화에 대응하는 재난대응기술이 되어 내수침수가 빈번한 도시의 홍수복원력을 확보하고 국민의 생명과 안전을 확보할 수 있으리라 판단된다. 또한 기술연구를 통해 상용화된다면 국내 및 국외시장에 진출이 가능하리라 본다.
