This paper presents the traffic speed limit of heavy vehicles at each wind velocity region, which is based on their accident risk analysis under cross-wind. The variables for the accident risk analysis are overall height, overall length, intake weight, and friction coefficient of the road surface. It was confirmed from analysis results that the risk of overturning increased with higher overall height and length, and the risk of sliding decreased with higher intake weight. The risk of sliding was largest at the friction coefficient of 0.1, and the risk of overturning was lagest at friction coefficient more than 0.25. Finally, traffic speed limit was proposed by using the accident risk analysis.

A simple method of assessing the risk of overturning of precast reinforced concrete columns is presented in this paper. The displacement-based methodology introduced herein is distinguished from conventional force-based codified methods of aseismic design of structures. As evidenced by results from field tests precast reinforced concrete columns can be displaced to a generous limit without sustaining damage and then fully recover from most of the displacement afterwards. Realistic predictions of the displacement demand of such (rocking) system in conjunction with the displacement capacity estimates enable fragility curves for overturning to be constructed. The interesting observation from the developed fragility curves is that the probability of failure of the precast soft-storey column decreases with increasing size of the column importantly illustrating the "size effect" phenomenon.

도로를 주행하는 차량이 강풍구간을 지날 때 바람에 의한 횡력으로 경로를 벗어나 추돌사고를 일으킬 수 있다. 또한 높은 풍속에서는 차량이 전도하면서 대형 사고를 유발할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 우선 횡풍에 의한 차량의 경로이탈과 전도에 대한 해석 매카니즘을 고찰하였다. 그리고 차량의 횡풍 위험도를 파악하기 위해 승용차와 트럭 등 10종의 대표 차량에 대한 위험도 해석을 실시하였다. 또한 횡풍 위험도가 차량의 주행속도와 특성 등에 따라 많은 편차가 있으며, 편차 발생 원인을 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과는 강풍이 잦은 도로환경에서 주행안전성 확보 방안을 마련하기 위한 기초자료로 활용 가능할 것이다.

This study aims to estimate the failure probability of concrete gravity dams for their risk analysis under flood situation. To the end, failure modes of concrete gravity dams and their limit state functions are proposed based on numerous review of domestic and international literatures on the dam failure cases and design standards. Three failure modes are proposed: overturning, sliding, and overstress. Based on the failure modes the limit state functions, the failure probability is assessed for a weir section and a non-weir section of a dam in Korea. As water level is rising from operational condition to extreme flood condition, the failure probability is found to be raised up to the warning condition, especially for overturning mode at the non-weir section. The result can be used to reduce the risk of the dam by random environmental variables under possible flood situation.

Recommended seismic design guide for the flat bottom vortical-cylindrical oil storage tanks in KS B 6225 is presented. Under earthquake excitations, the hydrodynamic pressure exerted on the tank walls produces overturning moment which may cause either a failure of the anchors or a buckling of the tank shell near its base. The basis for establishing design loads due to hydrodynamic pressure is described including seismic zone risk map in Korea, zone coefficients and the essential facilities factor. This procedure for calculating applied compressive stress on the shell base subjecting to seismic load and for estimating the allowable buckling stress is described.

Subgrade differential settlement of high-speed railways was a pivotal issue that could increase the risk of trains operation. The risk will be further increased when trains in the subsidence zone are affected by crosswinds. In this paper, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and finite element (FE) model were established, and the data transmission interface of the two models was established by fluid-solid interaction (FSI) method to form a systematic crosswind-train-track-subgrade dynamic model. The risk of high-speed train encountering crosswind in settlement area was analyzed. The results showed that the aerodynamic force of the trains increased significantly with the increase in crosswind speed. The aerodynamic force of the trains could reach 125.14 kN, significantly increasing the risk of derailment and overturning. Considering the influence of crosswind, the risk of train operation could be greatly increased. The safety indices and the wheel-rail force both increased with the increase of the wind speed. For the high-speed train running at 350 km/h, the warning value of wind speed was 10.2 m /s under the condition of subgrade settlement with wavelength of 20 m and amplitude of 15 mm.

노거수 내부의 대규모 공동이나 부후는 나무가 쓰러지거나 부러지는 주요 원인 중 하나로, 구조적으로 약해진 나무는 강풍이나 폭설에 더욱 취약하다. 특히 노거수는 강풍, 폭설 등과 같은 외부 충격 발생 시 피해 가능성이 상대적으로 더 높고 한번 훼손되면 회복이 어렵기 때문에 예방적 관리가 중요하다. 이에, 천연기념물 이팝나무 7개소를 대상으로 육안교목평가(VTA)와 나무단층영상촬영을 실시하여 노거수의 물리적 생육상태를 평가하였다. 육안교목평가 결과, 상대적으로 '양산 신전리 이팝나무'와 '순천 평중리 이팝나무', '광양읍수와 이팝나무'는 가지의 연결각도가 좁고, 부착력이 약한 것으로 분석되었으나 수관이 왜소하고 하중 부담이 낮아 추가적인 보호시설 설치보다는 위험징후에 대한 정기 모니터링이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 나무단층영상촬영 결과 이팝나무 전체적으로 내부에 공동이 탐지되었고 '순천 평중리 이팝나무(70.8%)', '고창 중산리 이팝나무(66.8%)', '광양읍수와 이팝나무(56.9%)' 순으로 공동이나 부후로 추정되는 면적이 넓은 것으로 조사되었다.

The construction workers might be at the risk of many occupational injuries and illnesses. To protect workers from various hazards, industrial health and hygiene systems were specified for the construction workers by law. It is important to know the actual health and safety(H&S) conditions by tasks and the characteristics of injuries and illnesses of construction workers. This study was designed to investigate the actual conditions of construction workers exposed to various harmful substances and work elements including evaluation of health status of each worker and general H&S system. Questionnaire was sent to 600 construction workers nationwide and totally 367 people responded to it having 61.67% of response rate. The common construction hazards were dust(29.6%), noise(19.3%), repetitive motions(12.0%), handling excessive heavy materials(11.2%) in order. The repetitive motions and handling heavy materials related to muscle disorders accounted for 23.2%. The accident and injury types were in order of overexertion, falling, overturning, dropping or flying, electric shock, collision, etc.
