  • In the trend of increasing awareness of chemical accidents, hazardous chemical transport vehicle accidents are occurring every year. In this study, we analyzed improvement of accident prevention and countermeasures through statistical analysis of hazardous chemical transport vehicle accidents. A total of 383 chemical accidents between January 2014 and December 2017 were analyzed. During this period, number of transportation accidents was 83 cases, accounting for 21.67% of total chemical accidents. In the current system, despite the direct handling of hazardous chemical, it is out of regulation of damage prediction unlike the workplace. In order to effectively respond to actual accident, information on damage prediction is required and should be shared with related ministry. And it should be developed to real-time monitoring of hazardous chemical transport vehicle through integrated control tower.

  • In this paper, the behaviour of composite steel-CFRP members is studied experimentally and using FE-analysis. The use of advance composite materials in construction for repair and rehabilitation has become a frequent used method in the last decade. FRP composites have many advantages over the traditional technique of steel bonding for a number of reasons: 1. Composites add little or no additional weight to a building, eliminating the need for costly foundation strengthening. 2. FRP composites are very thin (1.2mm to 1.4mm). So there is no loss of floor space and negligible effect over the architectural aspect. 3. FRP composites do not corrode, this makes it long lasting. However, the method is yet to become a mainstream application due to a number of economical and design related issues. Brittle debonding failure, aging effect on bonding, broad based awareness and proper design guidelines are the main concern for future research works. This paper is focused on the ultimate load carrying capacity of the CFRP-strengthened beams and their effect on the deflection and failures modes by varying the amount of CFRP content.

  • The study is intended to examine awareness of safety as a differentiated service strategy and t to induce offer of more competitive services to the internal and external consumers in service industry of the South Korea. In the pursuit of this purpose, the typical occupations of the service industry targeted hotel employees and this study investigate the policy effectiveness of security management in Korea hotels. Specifically, this study was conducted by survey and involved major hotel(Seoul, Busan, Gyeongsangnam-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do) across the country. This survey went through feasibility study by major hotels managers. The results were as follows: Findings of the study suggested that most of disaster management stages did not have a statistically significant relationship with the policy effectiveness of security management. Only, repair stage have significant impact on the policy effectiveness of security management. This finding was found to be attributable to the fact that hotel employee would be concentrated in the tangible results of security management.

  • The aim of this paper is to show how the paradigm of disaster resilience may help reorienting urban planning policies in order to mitigate various types of risks, thanks to carefully thought action on heritage and conservation practices. Resilience is defined as the "capacity of a social system to proactively adapt to and recover from disturbances that are perceived within the system to fall outside the range of normal and expected disturbances." It relies greatly on risk perception and the memory of catastrophes. States, regions, municipalities, have been giving territorial materiality to collective memory for centuries, but this trend has considerably increased in the second half of the 20th century. This is particularly true regarding the memory of disasters: for example, important traces of catastrophes such as urban ruins have been preserved, because they were supposed to maintain some awareness and hence foster urban resilience - Berlin's Gedachtniskirche is a well-known example of this policy. Yet, in spite of preserved traces of catastrophes and various warnings and heritage policies, there are countless examples of risk mismanagement and urban tragedies. Using resilience as a guiding concept might change the results of these failed risk mitigation policies and irrelevant disaster memory processes. Indeed, the concept of resilience deals with the complexity of temporal and spatial scales, and with partly emotional and qualitative processes, so that this approach fits the issues of urban memory management. Resilience might help underlining the complexity and the subtlety of remembrance messages, and lead to alternative paths better adapted to the diversity of risks, places and actors. However, when it is given territorial materiality, memory is almost always symbolically and politically framed and interpreted; Vale and Campanella had already outlined this political aspect of remembrance and resilience as a discourse. Resilience and the territorialization of memory are not ideologically neutral, but urban risk mitigation may come at that price.

  • This study shows the result of the security assessment of the nationwide key energy facilities and suggests the ways of improving the security level. According to the study, most of the energy facilities are adequately equipped with physical security factors such as security personnel, security systems, fences, and guard posts, but lack of awareness is pervasive among those concerned, so the security operation is inefficient. In other words, inefficient deployment of security personnel, lack of the fundamental knowledge of the security systems, excessive dependence on surveillance cameras' functions such as Pan/Tilt/Zoom, misplaced cameras, low efficiency of monitoring, and irrelevant security plans. To solve these problems, above all, the authority concerned need to develop professional training programs to secure certified security mangers, and need to standardize security process to ensure consistency and to harness the standardization as a source of self assessment to improve security level.
