The spatial limitations of urban environments in general lead to invention and design of a wide range of underground transportation systems such as subways, underground roads and paths, etc. Among them, the application of subway systems in metropolitan cities is most commonly observed to ease those confronted difficulties on this purpose. It in turn leaves passengers and workers to be exposed to indoor air potentially polluted by various sources existing in this underground environment. Specifically when considering the IAQ in a subway station, there exist many IAQ-related parameters to be counted either as individual or as integrated exposures. In this study, a model system has been developed to manage the general IAQ in a subway station. Field survey and $CO_2$ measurements were initially conducted to analyze and understand the relationship between the indoor and outdoor air quality while considering the internal pollution sources such as passengers, subway trains, etc. The measurement data were then employed for the model development with other static information. For the model development, the algorithm of simple continuity was built and applied to model the subway IAQ concerned. In this paper, the recent updated draft version of model developed will be reported and demonstrated.

Recently, the scale of buildings has been increasing because of the high-rise trend and complexity of underground spaces. A significant number of steel structures have therefore been adopted for building construction. Since workers need to work in high places to install steel beams, many industrial accidents easily occur during steel-frame work. Furthermore, considering the increasing trend of building steel structures, the safety of the workers during the steel beam erection work is of concern. To improve the safety, a new type of joint, located between the steel column and beam, which can eliminate the need for working at the elevated height during steel beam erection has been developed in Korea. Using the newly developed technology in the construction field, the safety performance needs to be evaluated. This study presented the safety evaluation approach for the newly developed technology from the literature review, and applied the method to a self-supported steel joint. The result showed that applying the self-supported steel joint improved the safety of the steel erection work in terms of working posture, working environment, and risk exposure time.

Objects: In July 2 2010, a diarrhea outbreak occurred among the workers in a company in Gyeungju city, Korea. An epidemiological investigation was performed to clarify the cause and transmission route of the outbreak. Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey among 193 persons, and we examined 21 rectal swabs and 6 environmental specimens. We also delegated the Daegu Bukgu public health center to examine 3 food service employees and 5 environmental specimens from the P buffet which served a buffet on June 30. The patient case was defined as a worker of L Corporation and who participated in the company meal service and who had diarrhea more than one time. We also collected the underground water filter of the company on July 23. Results: The attack rate of diarrhea among the employees was 20.3%. The epidemic curve showed that a single exposure peaked on July 1. The relative risk of attendance and non-attendance by date was highest for the lunch of June 30 (35.62; 95% CI, 2.25 to 574.79). There was no specific food that was statistically regarded as the source of the outbreak. $Bacillus$ $cereus$ was cultured from two of the rectal swabs, two of the preserved foods and the underground water filter. We thought the exposure date was lunch of June 30 according the latency period of $B.$ $cereus$. Conclusions: We concluded the route of transmission was infection of dishes, spoons and chopsticks in the lunch buffet of June 30 by the underground water. At the lunch buffet, 50 dishes, 40 spoons, and chopsticks were served as cleaned and wiped with a dishcloth. We thought the underground water contaminated the dishes, spoons, chopsticks and the dishcloth. Those contaminated materials became the cause of this outbreak.

본 연구에서는 터널 시공 중 굴진면에서의 붕괴 위험을 판단하여 작업자의 안전을 확보할 수 있는 굴진면 안전감시시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 실시간으로 측정되는 굴진면 변위를 x-MR 관리도기법으로 실시간 분석함으로써 굴진면의 이상 거동을 감시할 수 있다. 또한 관리 기준을 초과하는 측정치의 개수와 이동 범위 k를 비교하여 굴진면의 이상 거동과 작업 과정에서 발생하는 오류를 구분할 수 있도록 오경보 판단 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 본 연구결과는 위험지반 구간에서의 굴진면의 실시간 거동 감시에 적용되어 작업자의 피해를 최소화 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

NGIS사업의 일환으로 1995년이래 수행중인 지하시설물전산화 사업의 확대시범도시에 포함된 19개 지자체는 2003년 과업종료에 따라 상하수도 중심의 지하시설물 DB를 활용한 지하시설물 유지관리시스템의 실질적인 운용에 대비하고 있다. 그러나, 각 지자체의 상하수도 유지관리업무를 담당하는 부서는 전산화 환경에서 지하시설물 DB의 유지관리를 담당할 수 있는 전문인력 및 관련 기술과 경험부재로 인해 기존의 현장 수작업 방식으로 지하시설물 DB를 유지관리할 경우 자료누락, 오기 및 이기오류, DB의 최근성 확보 등의 문제로 인하여 지하시설물 DB의 품질저하가 우려되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지하시설물 DB 유지관리 방법론 개발의 선행 연구로 지자체 상하수도 유지관리업무를 담당하는 현장 작업자의 업무환경을 전산화 환경으로 전환하기 위하여 현장업무용 모바일장비 활용성 실험과 국내 무선통신 환경분석 및 모바일장비용 GPS수신기 활용성 실험을 수행하여 현장 업무용 모바일 작업 환경을 구축하였다. 지하시설물 DB의 효율적인 유지관리 방법론 개발에서는 국내 무선통신환경의 제약에 의해 편의상 업무빈도가 높고 정기적으로 수행되는 정상업무에 대해서는 OFF-LINE방식의 DB 수정/갱신 방법론을 개발, 적용하고, 부정기적이나 처리에 시급성이 요망되는 긴급업무에 대해서는 ON-LINE 방식의 DB 수정/갱신 방법론을 개발, 적용하였다.

Recently, the use of an electrical apparatus has brought up concerns of health risks from exposure to electromagnetic fields. EMF is composed of electric fields and magnetic fields. Heavy exposure to EMF can occur only in the vicinity of high-voltage overhead transmission lines, close to transformers and underground cables, and also close to large electrical machinery. In this thesis I have investigated the hypothesis of the correlation between occupational exposure to ELF-EMF and the risks of leukemia, anemia, cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate whether or not ELF-EMF emitted from electric power stations and transformer substations affect some hematological parameters and tumor markers of electric utility workers. The hematological test results and tumor markers under investigation were similar in the two groups but some of parameters such as RBC, AFP, LDH showed significant difference between the two groups from two sample t-test (p<0.05). The exposure group showed increased LDH level compared to the control group by two sample t-tests. In addition, the abnormal LDH level in the exposure group was observed to be clinically significant by ${\chi}^2$-test. However, the levels of RBC, AFP observed were not clinically significant by ${\chi}^2$-test (p>0.05). These results suggested that ELF-EMF does not affect most blood test parameters except LDH of electric utility workers.

현재 국내 석회석광산은 개발 방식 및 특성에 따라 환경적, 사회적, 경영적 측면에서 다양한 문제 등을 내포한 채 운영되고 있다. 따라서 최근에는 이 같은 문제점들을 저감하고 지속가능한 광산개발을 위하여, 갱내채광 혹은 시설물 갱내화 등 다양한 노력이 계속되고 있다. 이러한 노력은 기존의 광산개발 공간 외에 새로운 지하대형공간의 생성을 유발하기 때문에, 작업자 및 시설물의 안전성확보를 위하여 발생 가능한 다양한 종류의 리스크에 대한 재난관리 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하대형공간을 구축하고 시설물을 갱내화하여 본격가동을 앞둔 석회석광업현장의 작업자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 리스크 위험도평가 및 업무영향력분석 후 재난관리를 위한 업무우선순위를 도출하였다. 그 결과, 대상 현장의 경우 파분쇄 및 분립선별공정에서 안전수칙 불이행으로 인한 리스크에 대하여 위험도가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 이 리스크에 대한 재난발생시 업무연속성 유지를 위한 영향력을 분석결과 우선적으로 갱내외의 연계작업이 원활하게 이루어지도록 해야 하는 것으로 나타났다.

Generally the NATM technique uses shotcrete, rock bolts, H-beam steel ribs, and concrete lining for the tunnel support in Korea. Among them, H-beam steel ribs are extremely heavy and difficult for workers to handle. Therefore, especially in Europe, lattice girders are being used instead of H-beam steel ribs for tunnel support. Lattice girders have basically the same function as H-beam steel ribs in tunnelling. The main advantages of using lattice girders compared to H-beam steel rib supports are as follows: 1) lattice girders have relatively a low weight enough to be easily lifted and installed by labors and 2) they create a more effective bond with the shotcrete. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and applicability of lattice girders compared to H-beam steel ribs used in construction tunnel sites and to show that lattice girders can be adequately applied in domestic tunnel construction sites as a new tunnel support system.
