Hazard recognition is considered as one of the pre-requisites for effective hazard management and injury prevention. However, in complex and changing environments, construction workers are often unable to identify all possible hazards that can occur in the jobsite. Therefore, identification of factors that impact hazard recognition in the work environment is necessary to reduce safety incidents as well as to develop strategies that can improve worker's hazard recognition performance. This study identified factors/problems that impact worker's hazard recognition abilities and suggested some potential technologies that can mitigate such problems. Literature reviews of journal articles and published reports related to hazard recognition studies were conducted to identify the factors. The study found out that the major factor responsible for affecting worker's hazard recognition abilities were human-related. Industry factors, Organizational factors and Physical factors of the site were the other factors identified from the study that impact worker's hazard recognition performances. The findings from the study can help site personnel recognize areas where effective measures can be directed towards worksite safety of workers while working in complex construction environments.

달착륙선의 라이다 기반 위험회피 착륙시스템은 기본적으로 목표 착륙지역에 대한 지형 파라미터인 경사와 험준도로 위험도를 계산하고 해당 지역에 대하여 위험도가 최소값을 갖는 점을 안전한 착륙 지점으로 선정한다. 이때, 경사와 험준도만을 고려할 경우 라이다 측정오차에 의해 착륙지가 위험요소 근처로 선정될 수 있으며 이는 착륙선에 위협적이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고 최대한 안전한 착륙지점을 선정하기 위하여 위험상대거리 기반의 위험도를 기존의 지형파리미터 기반의 위험도와 함께 고려하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 경사와 험준도 각각에 대한 위험상대거리 기반 위험도가 지형 특성에 따라 착륙지 선정결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였고, 두 가지 위험상대거리를 동시에 고려하였을 때 가장 좋은 위험회피 착륙 성능을 나타냄을 시뮬레이션과 3차원 뎁스 카메라를 이용한 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

The objective of this paper is to compare the prediction performances of different landslide hazard maps based on topographic data stemming from different sources of elevation. The geostatistical framework of kriging, which can properly integrate spatial data with different accuracy, is applied for generating more reliable elevation estimates from both sparse elevation spot heights and exhaustive ASTER-based elevation values. A case study from Boeun, Korea illustrates that the integration of elevation and slope maps derived from different data yielded different prediction performances for landslide hazard mapping. The landslide hazard map constructed by using the elevation and the associated slope maps based on geostatistical integration of spot heights and ASTER-based elevation resulted in the best prediction performance. Landslide hazard mapping using elevation and slope maps derived from the interpolation of only sparse spot heights showed the worst prediction performance.

The seismic provisions of the current edition (2005) of the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) differ significantly from the earlier edition. The current seismic provisions are based on the uniform hazard spectra corresponding to 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years, as opposed to the seismic hazard level with 10% probablity of exeedance in 50 years used in the earlier edition. Moreover, the current code is presented in an objective-based format where the design is performed based on an acceptable solution. In the light of these changes, an assessment of the expected performance of the buildings designed according to the requirements of the current edition of NBCC would be very useful. In this paper, the seismic performance of a set of six, twelve, and eighteen story buildings of regular geometry and with concrete moment resisting frames, designed for Vancouver western Canada, has been evaluated. Although the effects of non-structural elements are not considered in the design, the non-structural elements connected to the lateral load resisting systems affect the seismic performance of a building. To simulate the non-structural elements, infill panels are included in some frame models. Spectrum compatible artificial ground motion records and scaled actual accelerograms have been used for evaluating the dynamic response. The performance has been evaluated for each building under various levels of seismic hazard with different probabilities of exceedance. From the study it has been observed that, although all the buildings achieved the life-safety performance as assumed in the design provisions of the building code, their performance characteristics are found to be non-uniform.

Earthquake is one of the hazard so hard because it is difficult predicted occurred time, scale and characters. Due to a recent Sichuan earthquake in China with a magnitude of 7.8, it is worried about having a major earthquake in Korea peninsula in near future. The earthquake in Kobe, Japan showed that the damages were concentrated on the buildings which were not considered to be protected from the earthquakes. In this study, apartment structures in Korea analyze about earthquake hazard and evaluate seismic performance. Through the this study we have notice of earthquake hazard for apartment structures which live a lot of population of Korea and suppose necessary for seismic retrofit.

The hazard ratio may be useful as a descriptive measure to compare the hazard experience of a treatment group with that of a control group. In this paper, we propose a kernel estimator of hazard ratio with censored survival data. The uniform consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator are proved by using counting process approach. In order to assess the performance of the proposed estimator, we compare the kernel estimator with Cox estimator and the generalized rank estimators of hazard ratio in terms of MSE by Monte Carlo simulation.

미국 노스리지 지진(1994)과 일본 고베지진(1995) 발생 이후 다양한 구조물 및 건축물을 설계 할 때 성능기반 내진설계 개념을 적용하고 있다. 최근 국내 소방시설물에 대해서도 내진설계기준이 제정되어 내진설계 규정에 따라 적합하게 설계되어야 한다. 성능기반 설계가 도입되면서 구조물 중요도에 따라 기능수행, 즉시복구, 인명보호, 붕괴방지 등 각각의 성능에 적합한 연발생빈도의 등재해도 스펙트럼이 요구되고 있다. 확률론적 방법을 적용하여 국내 주요 5개 도시에 대해 등재해도 스펙트럼(uniform hazard spectrum)을 분석하였다. 지진 및 지체구조 관련된 전문가 패널은 10인이며 전문가 패널이 제시한 다수의 지진지체구조구 모델 및 다양한 지진동 감쇠식을 적용하였다. 분석대상 진동수는 (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10.0) Hz이고 또한 PGA(최대지반가속도) 결과를 이용하여 500년, 1,000년 및 2,500년 등 3개 주요 성능기준에 해당하는 재현주기에 대해 등재해도 스펙트럼을 분석하였다. 민감도 분석에 의하면 지진지체구조 구 모델 변수보다 지반진동 감쇠식 변수가 지진재해도에 보다 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 일반적으로 등재해도 스펙트럼은 10 Hz에서 최대 지진재해도를 보여 주었고, 기존 연구 및 관련 기술기준에 제시된 등재해도 스펙트럼의 수준 및 모양 특성과 대단히 유사하였다.

Strategic structures are a potential target of the growing terrorist attacks, so their performance under explosion hazard has been paid attention by researchers in the last years. In this regard, the aim of this study is to evaluate the blast-resistance performance of lead-rubber bearing (LRB) base isolation system based on a probabilistic framework while uncertainties related to the charge weight and standoff distance have been taken into account. A sensitivity analysis is first performed to show the effect of explosion uncertainty on the response of base-isolated buildings. The blast fragility curve is then developed for three base-isolated steel moment-resisting buildings with different heights of 4, 8 and 12 stories. The results of sensitivity analysis show that although LRB has the capability of reducing the peak response of buildings under explosion hazard, this control system may lead to increase in the peak response of buildings under some explosion scenarios. This shows the high importance of probabilistic-based assessment of isolated structures under explosion hazard. The blast fragility analysis shows effective performance of LRB in mitigating the probability of failure of buildings. Therefore, LRB can be introduced as effective control system for the protection of buildings from explosion hazard regarding uncertainty effect.

Rapid post-earthquake damage estimation of subway stations is particularly necessary to improve short-term crisis management and safety measures of urban subway systems after a destructive earthquake. The conventional Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) framework with constant earthquake occurrence rate is invalid to estimate the aftershock risk because of the time-varying rate of aftershocks and the uncertainty of mainshock-damaged state before the occurrence of aftershocks. This study presents a time-varying probabilistic seismic risk assessment framework for underground structures considering mainshock and aftershock hazards. A discrete non-omogeneous Markov process is adopted to quantify the time-varying nature of aftershock hazard and the uncertainties of structural damage states following mainshock. The time-varying seismic risk of a typical rectangular frame subway station is assessed under mainshock-only (MS) hazard and mainshock-aftershock (MSAS) hazard. The results show that the probabilities of exceeding same limit states over the service life under MSAS hazard are larger than the values under MS hazard. For the same probability of exceedance, the higher response demands are found when aftershocks are considered. As the severity of damage state for the station structure increases, the difference of the probability of exceedance increases when aftershocks are considered. PSDR=1.0% is used as the collapse prevention performance criteria for the subway station is reasonable for both the MS hazard and MSAS hazard. However, if the effect of aftershock hazard is neglected, it can significantly underestimate the response demands and the uncertainties of potential damage states for the subway station over the service life.
