Performance based design is a recent evolutionary step in the process of designing fire protection systems. In essence, it is a logical design process resulting in a solution that achieves a specified performance. Sometimes the prescriptive solutions presented in various codes and standards are too expensive or inflexible. Often the solutions do not and enables optimization of a solution for cost and function. In this study, performance based design was carried out to determine the extent of passive fire protection for oil terminal facilities. The results of performance based design were compared with those of prescriptive code based design. Performance based design is not always more economic than prescriptive code based design but provides more reliable and effective design that is fit for the purpose.

Tall buildings are subjected to wind loading that can cause excessive wind-induced vibration. This vibration can affect the activities of the inhabitants of a building and in some cases fear for safety. Many codes and standards propose the use of curves of perception of acceleration that can be used to verify the serviceability limit state; however, these curves of perception do not take into account the uncertainty in wind-climate, structural properties, perception of motion and maximum response. The main objective of this study is to develop an empirical expression that includes these uncertainties in order to be incorporated into a simple procedure to evaluate the wind-induced acceleration in tall buildings. The use of the proposed procedure is described with a numerical example of a tall building located in Mexico.

Dynamic characteristics of water hammer arresters installed in a building water supply system have been investigated numerically by utilizing a commercial code that employs the method of characteristics. Some preliminary results with those arrester models produced in this study agree well with the previously reported. Then, the arrester models have been incorporated into a water supply pipe system of a 59 $m^2$apartment unit constructed by a leading construction company, and their dynamic characteristics have been investigated, especially on the reduction in the water hammer pressure. It is found that the setting of the arresters in the pipe system, which is recommended by the company, may not be proper for reducing the pressure down below 1,082.0 kPa (10.0 kg$g_f$/$cm^2$) when quick-closure valves in the pipe system are closed within 30 ms at the static pressure of 542.6 kPa (4.5 kg$g_f$/$cm^2$). More arresters in the system may be required to meet pressure criteria stated on the related standards and codes.

Constructed structures, before the seismic design codes are established was not designed an earthquake resist. So, evaluate seismic performance of structures and appropriate strengthening are required. To seismic reinforcement of railway structures, literature investigation was conducted about a variety of domestic and international processing enhance and repair the existing maintenance. Also, facilities standardization group, in research group of railway standards, when applied the developed seismic reinforcement system to the railway, conducted the survey that can occur the uniqueness for construction. These specific changes that reflect the seismic reinforcement of the system was required to establish application requirements.

An effective integrity evaluation system is essential to manage the fitness for service issues on infra-structure because the evaluation processes usually take long times and are detrimental for productivity point of view. In this paper, the key structures and procedures of four integrity evaluation programs which have been developed based on currently available codes and standards are described. The proposed programs are not only flexible to adopt advances in fitness for purpose type assessment methodologies but also convenient for field engineers. The developed programs which will be unified as an integrity evaluation system are expected to play a prominent role for integrity evaluation of major infra-structure.

The paper addresses the suitability of wind pressure coefficients specified in contemporary design standards and codes of practice for gable roofs of intermediate slope (roof angle $10^{\circ}-30^{\circ}$). In a recent research study, a series of low building models with different roof slopes in this intermediate range were tested in a boundary layer wind tunnel under simulated open country terrain conditions. This was different from the original study in the 70's, which produced the current provisions on the basis of a model tested only for a single roof slope (4:12) in this range. The results of the study suggest that a modification to the American wind provisions would be warranted to make them more representative of the true local and area-averaged wind loads imposed on gable roofs of intermediate slope.

In Korea, the occurrence and risk of similar fires are high, so setting up fire prevention measures through fire case investigation is considered the most basic measure in securing human safety. In particular, calculation of evacuation capacity in evacuation safety design of buildings is the most important factor that directly affects evacuation safety performance. However domestic standards is not consider about occupant characteristics. also the case of domestic, it has the problem that the law is partially applied when the fire safety design of buildings. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to study the current status and related regulations of the life safety code for the application of high fire risk buildings, and to analyze the difference in evacuation time through Case Study.

현재 국내에 사용되는 저압차단기는 산업용과 가정용 구분 없이 사용되고 있으며, 이를 전기설비기술기준은 물론 안전인증 제도로써도 강제할 만한 규정이 없는 실정이다. 그러나 일본을 비롯한 전세계적으로 대민 안전이 염려되는 가정용의 경우에는 시험 및 성능의 요구조건이 더 높아서 차단기의 사용도 가정용과 산업용으로 구분하는 추세이다. 본 논문에서는 현재 전기설비기술기준과 규격을 고찰하여 이러한 문제를 제기하고 향후 나아가야 할 방향을 제안하였다.

장기간의 원자력발전소 운영과정에서 가동전 중검사는 설비의 건전성을 확인하는 매우 중요한 점검과정이다. 가동전 중검사 결과 많은 양의 검사데이터가 생산되며 이러한 검사데이터는 과거 검사결과와 비교하여 결함지시의 성장여부 등이 검토될 수 있어야 하며 후속 검사를 위한 기초 데이터로 활용될 수 있어야 한다. 또한 검사에 사용되는 검사장비, 검사자, 검사절차서, 관련 도면, Codes & Standards 등 검사자원의 체계적인 관리가 필요하며 이를 위한 정보시스템의 지원이 필수적이다. 또한 수작업으로 작성되는 가동전 중검사계획(LTP 등) 작성업무의 자동화가 필요하며, 검사계약이 경쟁체제로 전환됨에 따라 검사업체의 변경 여부에 관계없이 검사결과의 연속성이 유지되어야 하며 검사절차나 양식 등의 표준화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현안사항을 개선할 수 있는 데이터베이스 응용시스템을 설계 및 구현하고 그 개발 과정을 소개한다.
