The purpose of this study is to conduct survey on the DfS system for employees who perform construction-related tasks, analyze the results, and present improvement directions. The results of the survey showed that the system was gradually being settled, with about 82% and 93% positive results on the recognition and necessity of the system. In addition, the three highest response rates for the improvement of the system were first, improving the expertise of DfS-related performance personnel, second, improving the awareness of DfS-related actors, and third, reflecting the appropriate costs associated with DfS. For the realization of the above improvements, it was proposed to prepare a curriculum for improving the professionalism of the staff, to implement an incentive system for improvement of perception, and to prepare appropriate payment criteria for preparing reports available during the construction phase. In addition, the Korea Infrastructure Safety and Technology Corporation will need to perform its active role in order to become a system for preemptive management of risk factors for construction accidents from the design stage.

Recently, the frequency and intensity of localized heavy rain and typhoon due to the abnormal climate has increased, and especially the damage by an avalanche of earth and rocks similar to the landslide of Umyeon Mountain has become a social issue. However, the standardized damage investigation method doesn't yet exist, so the systematic analysis of the data has not been carried out. In this regard, this study developed assessment items to conduct standardized damage investigation of debris flow. To achieve this, preliminary assessment items were derived from analysis of literature review and the Delphi technique of 12 experts who are engaged in research facility, academia and industry was conducted. As a result, 29 assessment items which can be classified into 6 groups were determined. Surveying the relevant hand-on workers, details assessment items in each group were determined by exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis.

This paper deals with steel braced frame as increasing the lateral strength and ductility in order to seismic retrofit of existing buildings and discusses the designing criteria and calculation method of retrofitted buildings. The addition of steel braced frame can be effective for increasing the lateral strength and ductility of existing buildings. However, There is a problem in utilizing this method. It is the approach to provide an adequate connection between the existing RC frame and the installed steel braced frame, because global strength by failure mode(three type) depends on detail of connection and strength of existing RC frame. So, the designer must be confirmed if it satisfies the required performance or not. Failure mode of type I is the most appropriate for increasing the lateral strength and ductility. Seismic performance evaluation and strength calculation of seismic retrofit are performed by guideline by KISTEC(Korea Infrastructure Safety & Technology)'s "seismic performance evaluation and rehabilitation of existing buildings" and Japan Building Disaster Prevention Association. Buildings are modeled and non-linear pushover analysis are performed using MIDAS program.

The facility diagnosis technique of past subjective judged the technical expert and interpreted stably mainly. The facility the periodical civil official becomes indispensability consequently with the law and the system and objectivity inspection which relates with a this and development of diagnosis technique were necessary. Currently the evaluation elements which relate with an inspection and diagnosis technique depended to the subjectivity of each facility quality, data statistics, diagnosis know-how, various circumstance and the technical expert and the evaluation item came to decide. But the evaluation score distribution of marks of each item depended plentifully in data analysis result and experience. The past method is weak in logically because the objection theoretical background and basis are insufficiency. Consequently in order to apply a data analysis result and an experience logically, it used AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) method from this research. It is visible with the fact that the application result reconfirmation and complement process will be necessary the technique which is suitable in the multi facility management. Also it is expected with the fact that the application characteristic from the next relation technique will be excellent.

In this study was investigated and analyzed of damage characteristics for infrastructures by typhoon that have been many occur. The objective Structures were the road and hydraulic structure. The road structure was included the cut-slopes, retaining walls and bridges. The hydraulic structure is divided with the dike, small-scale dam, reservoir and floodgate. The analysis result of the bridge damage cause is river bottom height increase and passage ability decrease. The principal damage reasons of the cut-slope structure are weakening the ground due to the localized torrential downpour and drainage defective. Also, the principal damage reasons of the small-scale dam, reservoir, dike and the floodgate are continuous collapse of dike beside the floodgate.And we divided a typhoon damage occurrence cause with artificial and natural. As the result of analysis, the many damage occurrence cause will be removed by system improvement and technical development.

A counterplan of slope failure has to investigate about various and engineering safety factors. Especially, it is important that large cut-slope must examine rational and economic solution. In this case study, cut-slope failure caused by inflow of rainwater into alternate layers. Hereafter it is suggested that large cut-slope should consider analysis the cause for a decline of safety factor and the engineering character of corestone ground mass.

The collapse of cut slope near national roads in Korea mostly occurs in every summer when typhoon or localized heavy rain comes. Such collapse brings about a loss of many lives and property and recently the damage is on rapidly increasing trend. Therefore, we may reduce the loss of many lives and property in great deals if we can predict and prepare for the collapse of cut slope. However, it is not easy to predict collapse because there are many factors causing collapse in combination and all they have different levels of contribution. Therefore, this study completed prediction formula by using a statistic technique for quantitative analysis on the interaction of those factors so as to predict the stability of slopes. Consequently, it is judged that effective slope management will be possible by selecting dangerous slopes quantitatively among cut slopes near national roads and by preparing for the collapse in advance.

Recent heavy rains and typhoons broke down road slopes, which caused a hazard to safety. As a result, interests in the effective investment for disaster prevention is increasing. Measures of investigation method for slope have been taken, but the financial costs have never been analysed. This study applied the cost-benefit analysis theory used in public economics to the evaluation of the financial reasonability of management for slope. By applying cost-benefit analysis to road slope investigation method, the reduction of safety costs and resulting financial benefits can be seen and it also clarifies the reasonability and investment effects of slope management.

우리나라는 전 국토의 70%가 산지로 구성되어 있어 도로준설 시 절토사면이 필연적으로 발생한다. 그러므로 사면의 안정성확보를 통해 인명피해와 경제적 손실을 막기 위해 보호 및 보강공을 실시하게 된다. 표면보호공법은 절토사면이 조사시점을 기준으로 안전율을 확보하고 있으나, 향후 우수나 풍화진행 등으로 안전율의 감소 방지와 예상치 못한 낙석 등에 대처하기 위한 공법이다. 그러나 식생공, 숏크리트 등의 표면보호공법 시공시 경사방향에 따른 일조량의 차이로 인해 구조물들의 변형 및 유지관리상의 문제점을 야기하고 있다. 식생공의 경우 사면방향이 북향일 경우 일조량의 부족으로 식생들이 정착을 하지 못하게 되고, 이때 사면은 표면보호기능이 상실되어 우수나 풍화진행 등으로 안전율이 감소하게 된다. 숏크리트의 경우는 남향의 사면에서 주간에 일조량이 과할 경우 열에 의해 팽창되고 주?야간 팽창 수축을 반복하여 대류열차에 의한 균열이 발생하게 된다. 이때 숏크리트가 파손되어 도로로 유입시 교통안전에 위협을 가하기도 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 사면방향에 따른 표면보호공법 선정시 문제점을 논의해 보고 그 방안을 모색하고자 한다.

In this study, a computer program to predict the behavior of laterally loaded single pile and pile groups was developed by using a beam-column analysis in which the soils are modeled as nonlinear springs by a family of p-y curves for subgrade modulus. The special attention was given to the lateral displacement of a single pile and pile groups due to the soil condition and the cap rigidity. The analysis considering group effect was carried out for $2\;{\times}\;2\;and\;3\;{\times}\;3$ pile groups with the pile spacing 3.0B, 4.0B and 5.0B. Based on the results obtained, it is found that the overall distributions of deflection, slope, moment, and shear force in a single pile give a reasonable results irrespective of cap connectivity conditions. It is also found that even though there are some deviations in deflection prediction compared with the observed ones, the prediction by present analysis simulates much better the general trend observed by the centrifuge tests than the numerical solution predicted by PIGLET.
