Background: The vulnerability of international migrant workers is on the rise, affecting the frequency of occupational accidents at workplaces worldwide. If migrant workers are managed in the same way as native workers, the consequences on safety assurance and risk management will be significant. This study aimed to develop the vulnerability factor model for migrant workers in seafood processing industries because of significant risk-laden labor of Thailand, which could be a solution to control the risk effectively. Methods: A total of 569 migrant workers were surveyed (432 Burmese and 137 Cambodian), beginning with 40 initial vulnerability factors identified in the questionnaire established from experts. The data were analyzed through descriptive analysis; exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to ascertain the model. Results: The result of content validity >0.67 and the Cronbach's alpha of 0.957 specified the high reliability of 40 factors. The EFA indicated a total variance of 65.49%. The final CFA validated the model and had an empirical fitting; chi-square = 85.34, Adjust Goodness-of-Fit Index = 0.96, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.016. The structure concluded with three dimensions and 18 factors. Dimension 1 of the structure, "multicultural safety operation," contained 12 factors; Dimension 2, "wellbeing," contained four factors; and Dimension 3, "communication technology," contained two factors. Conclusion: The vulnerability factor structure developed in this study included three dimensions and 18 factors that were significantly empirical. The knowledge enhanced safety management in the context of vulnerability factor structure for migrant workers at the workplace.

This paper describes the analysis of deterioration characteristics for connection factor according to connection method of grounding system. The connection method of grounding system is specified in IEC standard. In order to analyze the deterioration characteristics for connection factor, deterioration test was carried out when the connection factor was buried in salt water and underground. The test connection factors were C-type sleeve, clamp, and exothermic welding. As a consequence, most of the connection factor was corroded, and the electrical resistance decreased after deterioration. The analytical results can be used to establish the safety of grounding system.

An efficient and accurate algorithm is proposed to estimate flutter safety factor of suspension bridges satisfying prescribed reliability levels. Uncertainties which arise from the basic wind speed at the bridge deck location, critical flutter velocity, the wind conversion factor from a scaled model to the prototype structure and the gust speed factor are incorporated. The proposed algorithm integrates the concepts of the inverse reliability method and the calculation method of the critical flutter velocity of suspension bridges. The unique feature of the proposed method is that it offers a tool for flutter safety assessment of suspension bridges, when the reliability level is specified as a target to be satisfied by the designer. Accuracy and efficiency of this method with reference to three example suspension bridges is studied and numerical results validate its superiority over conventional deterministic method. Finally, the effects of various parameters on the flutter safety factor of suspension bridges are also investigated.

It is a key issue in the tunnel design to evaluate the stability of the excavation face. Two efficient analytical models in the context of the limit equilibrium method (LEM) and the limit analysis method (LAM) are used to carry out the deterministic calculations of the safety factor. The safety factor obtained by these two models agrees well with that provided by the numerical modelling by FLAC 3D, but consuming less time. A simple probabilistic approach based on the Mote-Carlo Simulation technique which can quickly calculate the probability distribution of the safety factor was used to perform the probabilistic analysis on the tunnel face stability. Both the cumulative probabilistic distribution and the probability density function in terms of the safety factor were obtained. The obtained results show the effectiveness of this probabilistic approach in the tunnel design.

근접병설터널에서 필라의 안정성을 평가할 때, 필라 폭이 최소가 되는 지점에서의 국부안전율(강도/응력비)을 조사하는 방법이 널리 사용된다. FEM 응력해석결과를 바탕으로 국부안전율이 1.0 이하인 경우는 필라의 안정성이 확보되지 못 하는 것으로 판단하고 인장볼트 등의 보강공법을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 국부안전율은 필라폭/터널반경(PW/D)의 변화와 무관하게 일정한 값을 보이고 있으며 인장볼트의 프리스트레싱 도입 시에도 축차응력의 변화가 크지 않아 상대적으로 필라의 안전율을 과소평가 할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 아울러 Hoek and Brown(1980)이 제안한 평균안전율을 검토하였으나 상대적으로 필라폭의 크기가 커질 경우 필라의 안전율을 과대평가하는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이에 대한 대안으로 강도 감소법을 이용한 SRM 안전율을 도입하여 필라의 안정성을 평가한 결과 필라폭/터널반경 변화에 따른 무보강 및 인장볼트 보강효과가 잘 반영됨을 알 수 있었으며 파괴형상 또한 기존 극한 이론의 검토결과와 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 인장볼트의 보강효과를 구별하기 위해 록볼트 및 숏크리트를 고려하지 않고 안전율을 평가하였다.

The deterministic analysis method has generally used to evaluate the slope stability and it evaluates the slope stability with decision value that is a representative value of design variables. However, one of disadvantages in the deterministic approach is there is not able to consider the uncertainty of soil strength properties, even though it is the biggest influential parameter of the slope stability. On the other hand, the limit state design(LSD) can take a consideration of uncertainties and computes both the reliability index and the probability of failure. LSD method is capable of overcoming the disadvantages of deterministic method and evaluating the slope stability more reliably. In this study, both the mean value and standard deviation of the internal land's representative soil strength properties applied to process the LSD method. The major purpose of this study is to gauge the general applicability of the limit state design in soil slope and to weigh the comparative validity of the proposed partial safety factor. In order to reach the aim of this study, the partial safety factor and resistance factor which totally satisfied the slope's overall safety factor were calculated by the load and resistance safety factor design (LRFD).

본 연구에서는 지진시 nailed-soil 굴착벽체의 안전율과 거동특성에 대하여 제시하였다. 시간이력해석을 이용하여 정적하중과 지진하중을 받는 nailed-soil 굴착벽체 전면부의 수평변위, 축력, 전단력, 모멘트를 해석하였다. Dawson과 Roth가 제안한 전단강도 감소기법에 바탕을 둔 안전율을 지진시 nailed-soil 굴착벽체의 안전율 계산에 사용하였다. 제안된 방법에 의한 안전율을 기존의 연구에서 산정된 안전율과 비교하여 그 타당성을 확인하였다.

In recent years, the natural damage associated with flood disaster has been dramatically increased. However, there is no rational method which reflects urban characteristics to estimate the regional safety assessment for flood disaster. The purpose of this study is to develop the regional safety assesment model for urban flood. Flood risk and reduction assesment were estimated by using the linear sum of the Z score of the assessment factors and the weight value of each factor from the expert survey data. And then the regional safety assessment was estimated by subtracting reduction factor value from risk factor value. GIS tool was used to estimate the factor assesment and integrated regional safety. This study can be used to determine the priority of flood protection project, execute the flood insurance and establish the urban plans and the flood mitigate plan.

얕은 토층의 무한사면 파괴가 예상되는 지역에서 안전율 계산에 영향을 주는 지역적 특징인 뿌리점착력을 고려하지 않은 무한사면 안전율은 뿌리점착력을 적용한 무한사면 안전율 보다 낮은 수치로 해석되는 경향이 있다. 따라서 합리적인 무한사면의 안전율을 계산하기 위하여 지역적 특징을 반영한 안전율 해석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수목의 뿌리와 수관밀도가 무한사면의 안전율에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 기존 무한사면 안정해석 방법에 수관밀도를 고려한 뿌리 점착력 이론을 적용하여 안전율의 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 해석결과 뿌리점착력의 효과로 인하여 안전율이 증가하지만, 사면의 경사에 따라서 안전율의 증가량이 다른 것으로 분석 되었으며, 뿌리점착력의 보강 효과는 완만한 경사의 사면일수록 커지는 것으로 나타났다.
