Building above-ground membrane LNG storage tanks have been recently actively reviewed because they have advantages in ease of large capacity, environmental friendliness, and low possibility of gas leakage of the inner tank (slow increase of leakage speed). In this paper, the safety of membrane LNG storage tanks was ensured through comparative risk assessment of full-containment LNG storage tanks and membrane LNG storage tanks by using Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). Risk assessment results showed that both types of tanks have very similar level of risk except for the membrane storage tanks without additional safety equipments (early model).

These days, most of safety-critical systems, which are systems those failures or malfunction may result in death or serious injury to people, or loss or severe damage to social systems, or environmental harm, are being built of embedded software or loaded controlling software systems on computers, electrical and electronic components or devices. There are a lot kind of fault analysis methods to evaluate safety of the safety-critical systems equipped computers, electrical and electronic components or devices with software. However, the only assessment method to evaluate software safety of a safety-critical system is not enough to analysis properly on account of the various types and characteristic of software systems by progress of information technology. Therefore, this paper proposes the integrated evaluation method and carries out a case study for the software safety of safety-critical system which embedded or loaded software sizes are small and control response times are not sensitive by use of two security analysis methods which are Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Fault Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) for ubiquitous healthcare system.

화학공정에서 발생하는 사고의 주요 원인으로는 조업자의 실수, 장치고장, 안전장치의 미비, 운전조건의 이상을 들 수 있다. 화학공정의 위험 분석은 HAZOP, FTA, ETA, 및 CA 등이 산업계에서 가장 유용하고 폭넓게 사용되고 있는 분석 방법이다. 이들 위험분석 기법 중에서 FTA(Fault Tree Analysis)는 사고의 세부적인 원인목록을 작성하여 해당사고의 구조를 파악할 수 있으며 복잡한 시스템내의 결함을 최소시간과 최소비용으로 효과적으로 예방할 수 있게 하는 정량적 위험성 평가 방법이다. 일반적으로 이 방법들은 전문가 집단에 의해 수행되기 때문에 전문가 집단의 능력과 투여되는 시간에 많이 비례하여 왔던 것이 사실이다. 이러한 이유로 인하여 위험분석방법의 자동화가 절실히 대두되고 있는 실정이다.(중략)

In general, risk management consists of a series of processes or steps including risk identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation, risk mitigation measures, and risk re-evaluation. In this paper, potential risk factors that occur in shield TBM tunnels were investigated based on many previous case studies and questionaries to tunnel experts. The risk factors were classified as geological, design or construction management features. Fault Tree was set up by dividing all feasible risks into four groups that associated with: cutter; machine confinement; mucking (driving) and segments. From the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), 12 risk items were identified and the probability of failure of each chosen risk item was obtained.

산업안전보건법에 따르면 결함수 분석기법(Fault Tree Analysis, FTA)은 주로, 설계 또는 운전단계에 있는 공정 위험성 평가 시 사고의 발생빈도와 예상사고 시나리오를 추정하는데 적용되어왔다. 따라서 일반적인 결함수 분석에서 정상 사상은 시스템 자체의 사용불능을 야기하는 가장 큰 원인을 의미한다. 그러나 상수도의 유지관리를 위해 FTA를 적용한 경우 정상 사상은 일반적인 FTA에서의 정상 사상과는 다르게 정의되어야 한다. 즉, 용수공급의 경우 관망 전체에 영향을 미치는 정상 사상이란 수원지의 오염이나, 수원지에서 직접적으로 나오는 관로에 문제가 생겼다거나 하는 사건을 의미하므로, 이러한 방식의 정상 사건 정의는 관망의 관로 및 절점에서 발생되는 문제를 분석하기 어렵게 만든다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 관망의 특정 지점에 용수공급이 원활하게 되지 않는 경우를 FTA의 정상사상으로 정의하였다. 또한, 개개의 관로 노후도 평가 점수와 FTA를 이용하여 관망의 특정 절점에 용수를 공급하기 위한 관로들의 노후도 평가 평균 점수를 산출하였다. 개발한 프로그램에서는 평균 노후도 평가 점수를 산출하기 위해서, 특정 절점 값을 입력 받고 각 파이프와 그로 인해 생기는 고립구간(세그먼트 + 비의도적 고립구간) 에 포함되는 절점들의 관계를 나타낸 자료를 이용하여 파이프에 문제가 생길 시 단수되는 절점을 역으로 검색해서 각 파이프의 노후도 평가 점수를 산술평균 하였다. 본 연구에서는 특정지점에 용수 공급이 원활하지 못 한 정상사상에 대하여 관로의 수리 또는 교체를 해야 하는 구간을 찾아 노후도 평가 점수를 산정하는 것이 목표이다. 이를 위해 특정 절점에 용수를 공급하기 위하여 지나가는 관로들에 대해서 평균 점수를 구함으로써, 절점에 용수가 원활히 공급 될 가능성을 산정하여 FTA와 관로 노후도 평가 점수를 이용하고 특정 절점에 용수를 공급하기 위하여 지나가는 관로들에 대해서 평균 점수를 산정하였다. 절점에서 용수를 공급하는 중요도에 따라 절점으로 이어지는 관로의 평균 노후도를 일정 점수 이하로 유지시키는 방법을 이용함으로써 관로의 유지관리 필요성에 대해 지표로써 사용할 수 있다.

This study is conducted to evaluate the explosion of tolune storage tank in the petrochemical plant by Fault Tree Analysis. The conclusions are as follows; 1) Fault Tree diagram and the required computer program for evaluation of explosion accident is developed. 2) The probability of the top event, explosion accident, is $1.5\;{\times}\;10^{-8}$ per year, so there is almost no possibility of explosion during the life cycle of tank. However, the probability of Gate 6 and Gate 7 is 8.8 per month, therefore, attention should be paid to them for accident prevention. 3) The number of minimal cut sets is 67 sets which are not calculated the probability of each set, because of the lack of computer capacity. All the minimal cut sets should be examined case by case. However, it is necessary to be paid attention to COM1, 126, 131, and COM4 in minimal cut sets, because the number of appearance is so high. 4) The number path sets is 70 sets which are not calculated the probability of each set, because of the lack of computer capacity. It is very useful to prepare safety checklist by using this minimal path sets. Also, the events which appear many times, 123, COM5, 139, 127 and 128, are very high in reliability.

Safety culture is a collection of the beliefs, perceptions and values that employees share in relation to risks within an organisation. On the other hand, a resilient safety culture (RSC) means a culture with readiness of the organisation to respond effectively under stress, bounce back from shocks and continuously learn from them. RSC helps organisations to protect their interest which can be attributed to behavioural, psychological and managerial capabilities of the organization. Quantification of the degree of resilience in an organisation's safety culture can provide insights about the strong and weak links of the organisation's overall health and safety situation by identifying potential causes of system or sub-system failure. One of the major challenges of quantification of RSC is that the attributes that determine RSC need to be measured through constructs and indicators which are complex and often interrelated. In this paper, we address this challenge by applying a fault tree analysis (FTA) technique which can help analyse complex and interrelated constructs and indicators. The fault tree model of RSC is used to evaluate resilience levels of two organisations with remote and urban locations in order to demonstrate the failure path of the weak links in the RSC model.

In this paper, a risk analysis methodology applicable to shield TBM tunnels was studied. Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) was utilized to identify all risk items and to calculate the probability of failure of each item and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to obtain the impact of each risk item. Finally, a risk level of each risk item can be assessed. Developed methodology is applied to a Seoul subway site in which EPB shield tunnel method was utilized and it was found that risk analysis results matched reasonably well with field data.

We developed the platform safety step system for the passenger to avoid misstep accident and secure the pedestrian safety. In this study, we classify platform safety step system into hierarchy system and predict the failure rate of each part and calculate the failure rate & MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure) of each module(sub-system) by means of RBD(Reliability Block Diagram) & FTA(Fault Tree Analysis). Finally, we will propose the reliability analysis results for RAMS analysis of platform safety step system.
