  • In the 21st century, a number of storm and flood disasters caused by rapidly changing climate change is increasing, and the number of flood accidents at construction sites is also increasing. However, no specific reduction measures have been presented and thereby safety management to prevent flood accident need to be improved. Therefore, in this study, the inundation pattern by downpour at the excavation site was interpreted and the inundation risk quantification method was used to classify the risk magnitude. Finally, using the fish-bone diagram, we derived the major reasons of inundation accident at construction site systematically. The simulation results showed that the inundation depths of small-scale excavation sites and excavation sites exceeded 3 m due to the fluid flowing through the excavation surface. In addition, depending on the excavation site, a high velocity temporarily observed and decreased due to the storage effect, or high velocity surpassing 10 m/s continued. Since this type of flooding can pose a risk to most or all workers, if proper management measures are insufficient, fatal damage to life and property could occur. Consideration of the roots of these disasters is judged to be helpful in understanding the causes of inundation accidents that result in casualties and presenting accident reduction measures.

  • The spread and damage of COVID-19 are putting significant pressure on the world, including Korea. Most countries place restrictions on movement and gathering to minimize contact between citizens and these policies have brought new changes to social patterns. This study generated traffic volume data on the scale of a road network using taxi movement data collected in the early stages of the COVID-19 third pandemic to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on movement patterns. After that, correlation analysis was performed with the data of confirmed cases in Daegu Metropolitan City and Local Moran's I was applied to analyze the effect of spatial characteristics. As a result, in terms of the overall road network, the number of confirmed cases showed a negative correlation with taxi driving and at least -0.615. It was confirmed that citizens' movement anxiety was reflected as the number of confirmed cases increased. The commercial and industrial areas in the center of the city confirmed the cold spot with a negative correlation and low-low local Mona's I. However, the road network around medical institutions such as hospitals and spaces with spatial characteristics such as residential complexes was high-high. In the future, this analysis could be used for preventive measures for policymakers due to COVID-19.

  • In this study, we are going to derive problems for fire and safety management in multiple-user Buildings and suggest improvement measures to prevent recurrence through analysis of legal operation status for safety management of multiple-user Buildings and case studies of large-scale fires in multiple-user Buildings. For this study, first, the current state of the industry and fire occurrence status were investigated through theoretical considerations of the multi-use industry, and then the previous research on the multi-use industry was analyzed. and by analyzing the legal and institutional status of multiple-user Buildings, problems were derived through cases such as the Jecheon fire in Chungcheongbuk-do, the Inhyeon-dong fire in Incheon, and the Songpa-gu fire in Seoul. As a result, first, the necessity of strengthening the initial fire response capability. Second, thorough maintenance and management of emergency exits. Third, the need for rational regulation of upholstery. Fourth, reinforcement of fire safety education and training. Fifth, strengthening of installation standards for firefighting and safety facilities. Sixth, we derive the result that it is necessary to raise awareness about safety management, compare and analyze it with legal and institutional contents, and suggest solutions accordingly. When looking at the causes of fires in multi-use buildings, building owners, business owners, and employees think that there is no possibility of a fire occurring in their business premises, so there is a lack of awareness. It is necessary to raise awareness through education and publicity of firefighters and related administrative agencies.

  • This study suggests a guideline for designing unit process of wastewater reuse in terms of a maintenance of the process based on critical parameters to draw a high quality performance of RO unit. Defining the parameters was done by applying membrane integrity test (MIT) in pretreatment process utilizing lab-scale MF. SDI is utilized for judging whether permeate is suitable to RO unit. However, result said TOC concentration matching with particle count analysis is better for judging the permeate condition. When membrane test pressure (Ptest) was measured to derive log removal value in PDT, virgin state of membrane fiber was used to measure dynamic contact angle utilizing surface tension of the membrane fiber. Actually, foulant affects to the state of membrane surface, and it decreases the Ptest value along with time elapsed. Consequently, LRVDIT is also affected by Ptest value. Thus, sensitivity of direct integrity test descends with result of Ptest value change, so Ptest value should be considered not the virgin state of the membrane but its current state. Overall, this study focuses on defining design parameters suitable to MF pretreatment for RO process in wastewater reuse by assessing its impact. Therefore, utilities can acknowledge that the membrane surface condition must be considered when users conduct the direct integrity test so that Ptest and other relative parameter used to calculate LRVDIT are adequately measured.

  • Impulse waves generated by landslides near water bodies can lead to fatal damage to human life and surrounding infrastructure. These impulse waves are generally called landslide-impulsed waves and occur without being limited to a specific area. Recently, localized torrential rains have frequently occurred due to the influence of abnormal weather, both the frequency and scale of landslides occurring in Korea are increasing. Therefore, in this study, the experiments were conducted according to the mass ratio of the landslide models, and among the characteristics of the generated landslide-impulse waves. And the wave amplitude was observed and analyzed. In this study, a total of 75 experiments were conducted by repeating the experiment 5 times for 15 cases with mass ratios of 5 landslide models and 3 types of slope angles. As a result of experiments with different mass ratios of landslide models, if the landslides have the same initial energy, the size of the landslide-impulse waves generated by mixing granular and block forms is higher than the size of the landslide-impulse waves generated by pure granular and block landslides. It is analyzed that the size may be larger.

  • Currently, there are cases in Korea where economic damage has occurred due to the ambiguity instrument installation and operation standards in the construction of temporary earth retaining wall, failing to prevent collapse of temporary earth retaining wall at the construction site in advance. Therefore, in this study, a numerical analysis was conducted to find the appropriate installation location of the inclinometer and strain gauge among the installed instruments shown in the design drawing of the temporary earth retaining wall. As a results, It was found that the installation position of the underground inclinometer is the corner of the retaining wall in the case of plane-deformation analysis, and the most displacement occurs in the center of the excavation surface in the case of 3D analysis. When the stress and moment are comprehensively analyzed, the corner is judged to be a vulnerable point. In the case of the strain gauge, In plane-deformation analysis and 3D analysis, the maximum bending stress occurred at the wale connection where the end of the strut and the counter strut are in contact. At this point, it is analyzed that it is necessary to focus on installing and managing the connection to prevent accidents from being vulnerable.

  • Background: Pressure injuries are localized areas of damage to the skin and/or underlying tissue, usually over a bony prominence due to pressure. Cerebrovascular disease increases the risk of pressure injuries due to the immobility caused by physical paralysis. The general approach to managing a patient with pressure injuries should include pain relief, the treatment of the infection, optimizing nutritional intake, proper positioning, and contamination prevention. Nonetheless, the duration of treatment for pressure injuries varies from person to person. Case report: An 80-year-old female intracerebral hemorrhage patient developed a pressure injury. To improve the injury faster, a Radix Astragali pharmacoacupuncture solution was applied to the pressure sore. The pressure injury's width, length, and depth was assessed using a ruler, and the exudate amount and tissue types were assessed. The treatment was performed for 35 days. The rate at which the size of the pressure sore lessened increased since the Radix Astragali pharmacoacupuncture solution was applied to the pressure sore. In addition, the tissue type of the pressure injury improved, and the exudates decreased. There was no significant difference in the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing Tool 3.0, since the Radix Astragali pharmacoacupuncture solution was applied to the pressure injury. Conclusion: This clinical case study suggests that the Radix Astragali pharmacoacupuncture solution might be effective in speeding up the healing of pressure injuries.
