The purpose of this study is to investigate the preparation time of fire-fighting water for public fire hydrants and ground, underground fire hydrants. The equipment preparation time for stage 1 was 20.50 seconds for ground type and 24.67 seconds for underground type. The reason for this difference in preparation time is that an underground fire hydrant requires additional standpipes to connect to the main conduit of Paru and the underground hydrant, which open the manhole cover. Water tank Maintenance joint with water hose male coupling of the second stage was similar to that of the ground type of 48.50 seconds and underground water tipe of 49.00 seconds. This is because the operation of connecting the fire hose to the maintenance tank of the water tank car is the same. In the third stage, the water pipe connection was 43 seconds for ground type and 174.33 seconds for underground type. The reason why the time for connecting the water pipe to the fire hydrant is large difference is that the underground fire hydrant is opened by opening the manhole cover, After connecting the stand pipe to the fire hydrant, the additional process of connecting the water pipe to the stand pipe is required, which is considered to have greatly increased the time required. The opening of Water Control Valve and spindle Valve in the fourth stage was 66.50 seconds for the ground type and 78.83 seconds for the underground type. This difference is due to the fact that the spindle of the ground fire hydrant is located on the main body and can be easily opened, but the underground type is located next to the main body under the manhole and requires additional time to connect the opening equipment.

To use the earth heat for the livestock housing, an underground heat exchanger is developed and pipes are layed in the depth of 2.5m under the ground. The pipes have two different kinds of diameter (200mm, 100mm) and materials (PE, PVC). The results of heating effect in winter and spring are following. The temperature in different soil depth varies from 5$^{\circ}C$ by 1.5m depth, to 9$^{\circ}C$ by 3.5m. So it should be better to have the depth greater than 2.5m. The difference of air temperature between the inside and outside pipe was 9.9 Kelvin(K) with 200mm diameter and 13.4K with the 100mm diameter with the same material in winter. By the lower outside temperature from -7.2$^{\circ}C$, it could keep the air temperature above 6$^{\circ}C$ through the 100mm diameter pipe. The heating performance was 593 W with 200mm diameter, 118W with 100mm diameter (PE), and 115W with 100m diameter (PVC), respectively. As the outside temperature varies from -1.5$^{\circ}C$ to 18.6$^{\circ}C$ in early spring, the air temperature through the pipes show 4∼8$^{\circ}C$. While the difference between maximum and minimum outside temperature is 14K, the one through the pipes could be reduced by 2K. Pipes with small diameter can more reduce the difference than the pipe with larger diameter.

The method in a bid to make better use of limited urban space amidst increasingly expanding urban area have been attempted in various ways. Efficient using underground space is one of the examples. The pipe roof and excavation for underground crossing implemented in this study was the part of evaluation of such attempt. However, the pipe roof method for underground crossing may cause the ground surface to be uplifted or settled down, having effect on structure above the ground. Thus in this study, a laboratory model test designed to evaluate the effect on surface during implementing pipe roof and excavation was carried out. The ground displacement during pipe roof advancing and excavation is usually occurred in a radial shape but as the study focused on trackbed, the evaluation included ground settlement only. Thus, appropriately-scaled model was selected considering domestic geological characteristics and operation characteristics of traditional and high-speed rail trains and the qualitative evaluation of displacement was carried out with a certain ground loss depending on excavation after categorizing trackbed settlement pattern depending on depth of top soil.

The use of natural light has the potential for improving both the energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality in buildings. A light-pipe system can introduce daylight to spaces that would otherwise not be able to benefit from the advantages of daylight penetration. For the light-pipe system to be widely used in Korea, it is important to quantify its daylighting performance with due consideration regarding the effects imposed by the local climate conditions. This paper presents the evaluation results of existing semi-empirical models to predict daylighting performance of a light-pipe system. The evaluation of the existing models was based on the monitoring data obtained from a underground parking lot in which the light-pipe system was installed. Comparisons were made between the predicted and the monitored data obtained from the study. The results indicated that semi-empirical models which was developed using the experimental data obtained under the Korean climatic conditions had a good prediction performance. We also quantified the effects caused by sky conditions, solar altitudes, room dimensions, and the aspect ratio of a light-pipe system on both the daylighting performance of the light-pipe system and the indoor illuminance distributions of the space using the semi-empirical model. Finally, this paper provides the design guideline of the light-pipe system for its application to an underground parking lot space.

This paper presents the effects of the tunnel stability using rebar steel pipe which is the steel pipe reinforced by rebar. In order to carry out this research, not only the theoretical and experimental study for bending stiffness of normal steel pipes and rebar steel pipes but also numerical analysis of tunnel stability are performed. It is clearly found from the results that 65% of bending stiffness of the rebar steel pipe is larger than that of the normal steel pipe. The results obtained from the numerical analysis of tunnel stability show that about 10% of tunnel stability is increased in case of the rebar steel pipe. The rebar steel pipe, therefore, may be very useful to develope the tunnel stability economically.

Recently, ground subsidence has been steadily occurring mainly in downtown areas, threatening the safety of citizens. Under the road, various underground facilities such as water supply pipe, sewage pipe, and communication pipe are buried. Due to the aging of these underground facilities and the reckless development of the underground, it is acting as a cause of ground subsidence. Although there is a result of analyzing the risk of ground subsidence according to the deterioration of the existing pipeline, there is no result of analyzing the risk of ground subsidence using the density of pipelines indicating ground disturbance. Therefore, in this study, the density of the underground space was analyzed using the data of six types of representative underground pipelines in Seoul, and a study was conducted on whether there is a correlation with the ground subsidence. As a result, it was found that the density of underground facilities is high in the area where the ground subsidence occurred, indicating that the density of pipelines have an effect on the ground subsidence.

As increasing underground facilities, more effective management is needed nowadays. It is important to get an accurate information of underground facilities to manage that, so some methods of detecting location - electromagnetic induction method, ground penetration radar method, sound wave method - are used to obtain the information of underground facilities. In this study, a magnetic method to detect underground facilities was developed. In the magnetic method, underground facilities are detected by a detector and the magnetic marker which is a permanent magnet and used to marking the location by attaching underground facilities. A test field was constructed for experiment with the magnetic marker, PVC pipe, and steel pipe under ground 1.5m, and a ferromagnetic detector was used for measurement. Magnetic strengths of the magnetic marker were measured by the detector at each location in the test field, and analyzed by magnetic field analysis tool in the same condition. In the result, the underground pipes of 1.5m below were detectable within the deviation $\pm$0.2m. When For applying this method, it should be considered that ferromagnetic materials around the detector could affect a measured value.
