This study is aimed at to examine the stress redistribution mechanism for tunneling in an unconsolidated ground with inclined layers through model tests. To make the unconsolidated ground, two dimensional model ground is prepared with aluminum rods and blocks, which are frictional resistance free between testing apparatus walls and ground materials, by establishing the ground materials self-supporting. It is carried out to measure the ground deformation and the stress redistribution for model ground with tunneling by measuring apparatus respectively. For the ground deformation, surface settlements are measured to examine the deformation features during tunnel excavation. For the stress redistribution, the earth pressure acting on both the tunneling part and its surrounding parts is measured to examine their mutual relationship. Based on test results, precise examination is conducted on the stress redistribution mechanism in the unconsolidated ground with inclined layers during tunnel construction.

This paper proposes a plan to improve the installation and operation of traffic safety facilities using a microscopic simulation by confirming the difference in the perception method and range of autonomous vehicles and human vehicles. In this study, the existing 『Traffic Safety Sign Installation·Management Guidelines』 was reviewed, and safety signs among traffic safety facilities were classified according to changes in vehicle behavior. Subsequently, for the classified facilities, the installation location of the traffic sign was changed through simulation experiments, and the optimal location was inferred to suggest an improvement plan. This study confirmed how traffic safety facilities installed based on the visibility of human drivers affect road efficiency and safety in mixed traffic flow with autonomous vehicles and human-controlled vehicles. The optimal location derived through this study is meaningful because it can be used as the basis for revising the guidelines on the installation and management of traffic safety facilities.

일부 콘크리트댐들의 경우 이상홍수 발생시 상 하류부 수위차가 크지 않은 상태로 월류가 발생하는 특징이 있으며, 치수능력 증대사업을 수행하여 안전성을 확보하기에는 지리적, 경제적인 문제로 어려움이 많아 현실적인 대책 수립이 어려우므로 월류가 발생한 상태에서도 안전성이 확보될 수 있는가에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 한국시설안전공단(2007)에서는 기존 댐의 수문학적 안전성 평가를 필댐과 콘크리트댐으로 구분 적용할 필요성과, 콘크리트댐의 경우 상태에 따라 일부 월류를 허용할 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구를 수행하였으며, 본 연구는 콘크리트 댐의 구조적 안전성 검토의 평가방법으로 수행하게 되었다.

In this study, legislative and policy issues related to advancing the maintenance system of water resource facilities were presented by investigating and analyzing the degree of aging and management status of water resource facilities. Data from the comprehensive Facility Management System (FMS) operated by the Korea Infrastructure Safety Corporation were collected and used to analyze the aging of water resource facilities. Using safety grade data categorized by facility, type, local area, and grade, the ratio of dangerous facilities and the aging rate were calculated to analyze the status of water resource facilities and guidelines and manuals related to water resource facilities were investigated. Through this, four required actions to address legislative and policy issues were presented: 1) Readjusting the scope of water resource facilities and supplementing guidelines and manuals, 2) Establishing a maintenance system considering changes in disaster conditions, 3) Improving the FMS and activating standard linkage services, and 4) Establishing a facility asset management system.

Recently, the paradigm shift of new construction into efficient operation and maintenance of infrastructure is seen. Also, concerns about infrastructure safety, especially the aged infrastructure, are on the increase. This study evaluates the current status of infrastructure safety and maintenance using data from 1994 to 2014 in Facility Management System operated by Korea Infrastructure Safety Corporation. Also, a quantitative analysis of safety performance of infrastructure is conducted to find out the enhancement of infrastructure safety in Korea. It was found that safety of facilities in Korea have been enhanced for the past decades. Improvement of safety performance of facilities is attributed to periodic safety inspection and repair and reinforcement. The result of the study can be used as a basic material for efficient and effective facility maintenance policies and strategies.

This study has focused on analysis factors affecting safety monitoring system at tailings sites, and the evaluation equipment to monitor the factors. Twenty sites at eighteen mines with unsafe conditions were selected to examine the equipment. There were three main factors influenced safety in the sites including surface erosion, piping, and slope instability. In detail, the surface erosion was divided into three sub-factors (planting, soil-topping layer, and tailings), piping into three sub-factors (liner, rain protection facility and leachate), and slop instability was also divided into three sub-factors (slop, concrete wall, and reinforcing wall). As results of in-field measurement, a CCTV was the most effective facility, and electrical resistivity survey, acoustic sensing, thermal liner sensor, structure inclinometer, rainfall meter, and flowmeter were also highly effective. According to applications of the facilities in the unstable tailings, structural defects were mainly found in the piping, which was the most important monitoring factor for safety management of tailings sites.

With the recent revision of 「Act on Promotion of the Transportation Convenience of Mobility Disadvantaged Persons」 and the Enforcement Regulations of the Act, bus business operators must introduce low-floor buses when scrapping buses. On the other hand, in the case of routes where low-floor buses cannot be operated, bus business operators can be exempted from introducing low-floor buses with the approval of their transportation administrative agency according to Article 4-2 of 「Enforcement Regulation of the Act on Promotion of the Transportation Convenience of Mobility Disadvantaged Persons」. According to the data from the Korea Bus Transportation Associations Federation, approximately 5.9% of all city bus routes were surveyed as the exceptions to introducing low-floor buses. Nevertheless the proportion is expected to increase because some regions with difficulties introducing low-floor buses are not included when calculating the proportion. By confirming the process of approving exceptions for introducing low-floor buses through local governments, there was no specific examination method or standard for approval of exceptions. Hence, there is the problem that some routes are approved as exceptions to introducing low-floor buses, even though low-floor buses can be operated on those routes. Therefore, this study aims to develop a manual that can objectively diagnose the overall operation environment of low-floor buses, such as road geometry and road facilities. Future research plans to apply it to more cases and improve it for more precise application in various contexts.

It is necessary to acquire information on traffic safety facilities installed on the roadways specifically for the operation of autonomous vehicles. The purpose of this study is to prepare a Korean version of an integrated message-set design as a way to provide to autonomous vehicles standardized information on traffic safety facilities. In this study, necessary facilities are classified according to four criteria (no legal basis; not providing information to autonomous vehicles; providing duplicate information; not standardized, and too difficult to generalize) based on information that must be provided to operate autonomous vehicles. The priority of information delivery (gross negligence followed by behavior change) was classified according to the importance of the information to be provided during autonomous driving, and the form was defined for the classification code in the information delivered. Finally, the information location and delivery method of traffic facilities for compliance with SAE J2735 were identified. This study is meaningful in that it provides a plan for roadway operations by suggesting a method for providing information to autonomously driven vehicles.

This paper discusses an application method of critical strains concept for tunnels' safety by using the values of measured displacements which are obtained in the field. The aim of this paper is to: (1) study on the engineering meanings of critical strains concept by reviewing the previous researches and application examples with measured displacement values; (2) study on the engineering reasonability of critical strains concept with the view point of a tunnel engineering and a geotechnical engineering; (3) study on the features of ground deformation due to tunneling and reciprocal relation between total displacement and measured displacement; (4) evaluate a tunnel safety by using domestic measurements collected in the field; and (5) re-evaluate the control criteria which were previously used in the field, with the view point of critical strains concept. Consequently, it was confirmed that critical strains in the ground has a reasonability and a possibility of unified or common concept with the view point of a tunnel engineering.
