According to Railway Safety Act, Korea Transportation Safety Authority (KOTSA) has been entrusted with 'Integrated Railway Safety Audit (IRSA) and has implemented the safety audit to the Railway operation agencies such as Korea Railway (KORAIL) and the Railway facility management organization such as the Korea Rail Network Authority (KR Network). The target of IRSA is to establish the effective rail safety management system and to raise the safety level of the Railway operation and facility agencies by checking synthetically their performance of safety duties with sincerity according to the Railway Safety Act. Even though newly introduced IRSA is conducted smoothly, it is necessary to study the methodology and criteria of the state's safety audit system. The purpose of this paper is to improve the efficiency of IRSA by the comparative research between IRSA and other similar safety audit system and to establish the consecutive improvement concept of IRSA. Second purpose is to confirm the effectiveness of IRSA by the analysis of the relationship between audit results and the safety level of the rail operation agencies.

The purpose of the target system for the muon spin rotation, relaxation, and resonance (µSR) facility at the Rare isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiments (RAON) is to induce the production of a significant number of surface muons in thermally stable experiments. The manufactured target system was installed at RAON in the Sindong area near Daejeon in 2021. The design was made conservatively with a sufficient margin of safety through ANSYS calculations; however, verification experiments had to be performed on the ANSYS calculations. Because the 600-MeV proton beam has not yet been provided, an alternative way to reproduce the calculation conditions was required. The radio frequency (RF) heating method, which has not yet been applied to the target verification experiment but has several advantages, was used. It was observed that the RF heating method has promise for testing the thermal stability of the target, and whether the target system design process was performed conservatively enough was verified by comparing the RF heating experiments with the ANSYS calculations.

목표신뢰도지수는 한계상태설계법에서 안전여유의 지표가 되며, 부분계수를 결정하는데 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 한계상태설계법에서 필요로 하는 목표신뢰도지수의 결정을 위하여 쇄석다짐말뚝이 적용된 6개소의 설계-시공사례를 조사하였다. 쇄석다짐말뚝의 주요 파괴모드인 팽창파괴에 대한 한계상태함수를 정의하고, 일계신뢰성해석법(FORM)을 이용하여 극한지지력, 이론식별, 신뢰도수준을 평가하였다. 현행 쇄석다짐말뚝의 신뢰도지수는 허용응력설계법에 의해 산정된 안전율과 비례하는 경향을 보였으며, 평균 신뢰도지수는${\beta}$=2.30으로 평가되었다. 신뢰성해석에 의해 평가된 신뢰도 수준과 기존 구조물 기초에 대한 목표신뢰도지수를 비교 분석한바, 쇄석다짐말뚝 기초는 말뚝기초 및 얕은기초에 비하여 비교적 낮은 안정성 수준이 요구되며, 쇄석다짐말뚝의 현재 신뢰도수준은 보강토옹벽, 쏘일네일링에서 제안된 목표신뢰도지수와 유사한 범위를 보이므로 쇄석다짐말뚝의 목표신뢰도지수를 ${\beta}_T$= 2.33으로 제안하였다.

This article has compared the level of activities of occupational safety and health in workplace among sub-sectors of manufacturing industry in order to set the priority for policy intervention. Data of manufacturing industry in the survey on the current status of occupational safety and health was used with factor analysis and radar graphic method. Authors have categorized sub-sectors of manufacturing industry into four categories, attained group, active group, neglected group, and passive group based on injury rate, level of safety and health activities. The neglected group may be the first target group for occupational safety and health policy guiding some detailed occupational safety and health activities. Limitation of this study is that cross sectional data was analyzed. The long term effect could not be analyzed.

고안전성이 요구되는 소프트웨어의 경우 극히 낮은 확률로 발생하는 오류로 인하여 전체시스템의 안전에 치명적인 상황을 야기할 수 있으므로, 철저한 안전성 검증이 요구된다. 하지만 모든 가능한 실행경로를 고려해야 하는 안전성 검증은 고비용이 발생한다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 안전성 검증의 고비용 문제를 개선하기 위해 안전성 특질을 기준으로 코드 슬라이싱 기법[1]을 구현한 도구를 개발하였다. 개발한 도구를 OSEK/VDX[2] 기반의 개방형 차량 전장용 운영체제인 Trampoline[3] 소스코드에 적용한 결과 분석 대상의 코드의 크기를 평균 71% 줄일 수 있었고, 실제 검증을 수행했을 시에도 도구 적용 이전보다 검증 비용을 절감할 수 있었음을 보였다.

최근 제4세대 원자로의 기기 최적설계를 위해 목표파손확률 기반 설계기법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 시스템기반코드(System-Based Code, SBC)가 대표적인 예로 설계 혹은 평가 결과는 부분안전계수(Partial Safety Factor, PSF)의 형태로 도출된다. 따라서 부분안전계수는 가동 기간 중 목표파손확률 기반 설계 및 평가를 위한 핵심 요소 가운데 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 특정 목표파손확률 하에서 원주방향 관통균열이 존재하는 배관의 탄소성 균열개시 조건에 대한 부분안전계수 계산 기법을 정립하고 각 평가 인자가 균열개시에 미치는 중요도를 정량적으로 평가하였다. 균열 배관의 J-적분은 GE/EPRI법과 참조응력법으로 계산하였으며, 부분안전계수는 일차 및 이차신뢰도지수법으로 계산하였다. 또한 재료물성치의 통계적 분포 특성이 미치는 영향도 함께 평가하였다.

Objectives: Small enterprises have higher exposure to occupational hazards compared to larger enterprises and further, they have fewer resources to control the risks. In order to improve the working environment, development of efficient measures is therefore a major challenge for regulators and other stakeholders. The aim of this paper is to develop a systematic model for the design of tailored intervention programmes meeting the needs of small enterprises. Methods: An important challenge for the design process is the transfer of knowledge from one context to another. The concept of realist analysis can provide insight into mechanisms by which intervention knowledge can be transferred from one context to another. We use this theoretical approach to develop a design model. Results: The model consist of five steps: 1) Defining occupational health and safety challenges of the target group, 2) selecting methods to improve the working environment, 3) developing theories about mechanisms which motivate the target group, 4) analysing the specific context of the target group for small enterprise programmes including owner-management role, social relations, and the perception of the working environment, and 5) designing the intervention based on the preceding steps. We demonstrate how the design model can be applied in practice by the development of an intervention programme for small enterprises in the construction industry. Conclusion: The model provides a useful tool for a systematic design process. The model makes it transparent for both researchers and practitioners as to how existing knowledge can be used in the design of new intervention programmes.

Recently, probabilistic assessments of nuclear power plant components have generated interest in the nuclear industries, either for the efficient inspection and maintenance of older nuclear plants or for improving the safety and cost-effective design of newly constructed nuclear plants. In the present paper, the partial safety factor (PSF) of wall-thinned nuclear piping is evaluated based on a reliability index method, from which the effect of each statistical variable (assessment parameter) on a certain target probability is evaluated. In order to calculate the PSF of a wall-thinned pipe, a limit state function based on the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) concept is first constructed. As for the reliability assessment method, both the advanced first-order second moment (AFOSM) method and second-order reliability method (SORM) are employed to determine the PSF of each probabilistic variable. The present results can be used for developing maintenance strategies considering the priorities of input variables for structural integrity assessments of wall-thinned piping, and this PSF concept can also be applied to the optimal design of the components of newly constructed plants considering the target reliability levels.

This paper presents the results from reliability analyses of the current Eurocode 4 (EN 1994-1-1) and AISC 360-16 design models for predicting the resistance of headed stud shear connectors within profiled steel sheeting, when the ribs are oriented transverse to the supporting beam. For comparison purposes, the performance of the alternative "Luxembourg" and "Stuttgart" model were also considered. From an initial database of 611 push-out tests, 269 cases were included in the study, which ensured that the results were valid over a wide range of geometrical and material properties. It was found that the current EN 1994-1-1 design rules deliver a corrected partial safety factor γ_M^* of around 2.0, which is significantly higher than the target value 1.25. Moreover, 179 tests fell within the domain of the concrete-related failure design equation. Notwithstanding this, the EN 1994-1-1 equations provide satisfactory results for re-entrant profiled sheeting. The AISC 360-16 design equation for steel failure covers 263 of the tests in the database and delivers 𝛾_M^*≈2.0. Conversely, whilst the alternative "Stuttgart" model provides an improvement over the current codes, only a corrected partial safety factor of 𝛾_M^*=1.47 is achieved. Finally, the alternative "Luxembourg" design model was found to deliver the required target value, with a corrected partial safety factor 𝛾_M^* between 1.21 and 1.28. Given the fact that the Luxembourg design model is the only model that achieved the target values required by EN 1990, it is recommended as a potential candidate for inclusion within the second generation of Eurocodes.
