The pressurized smoke control system in the vestibule is important for fire safety in buildings because it is concerned with egress time of people and the safety of fire fighters. The vestibule pressurization system can prevent smoke from entering the vestibule using differential pressure when fire doors are closed and using the egress velocity when fire doors are open. Air supplying units in the vestibule need to be arranged by taking account of the location of doors and the volume of the vestibule in order to assure the uniform air egress velocity through a fire door when it is open. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted for the vestibule where multiple doors are installed and it was found that the reverse flow occurs when the damper position in vestibule is not appropriate.

As CCTVs are widely utilized in diverse fields, many researchers have continuously studied to improve the surveillance performances of a CCTV system. However, an quantitative evaluation approach about the surveillance performance has rarely been researched. Therefore, we set up the research for suggesting a quantitative evaluation approach to determine the effectiveness of CCTV coverages. We firstly defined the surveillance resolution as that varies according to object's positions and orientations. Based on the definition, we computed surveillance resolution values at all three-dimensional positions with the orientations of interests in the specified space. By comparing these values to the required reasonable resolution, we determined the surveillance performance index indicating how well a CCTV system monitor a target space for specific surveillance objectives. This proposed approach evaluates the surveillance performance of a CCTV system quantitatively, so as examines the CCTV system design before its installation based on precise 3D spatial analysis.

Wall-climbing robots have been developed for various purposes, such as cleaning skyscraper windows, maintaining large structures, and welding vessels. Conventional wall-climbing robots use movement systems based on wheels or legs. However, wheeled robots suffer from slipping effects, while legged systems require many actuators and control systems for the complex linkage structure, which also increases the weight of the robot. To overcome these disadvantages, we propose a new wall-climbing robot that walks based on gorilla locomotion. The proposed robot consists of a DC drive motor, a vacuum pump for adsorption, and a micro controller for controlling the system. The performance of the robot was experimentally verified on vertical and horizontal flat surfaces. The robot could be used for various functions in industrial sites or disaster areas.

Recently the deep and large excavations are performed near the existing buildings in urban areas for the practical use of underground space. The earth pressure due to the excavation are varied according to the conditions of ground, the depth of excavation, the construction methods, and the method of supporting the earth pressure etc.. In this study, not only the behavior of axial load and distribution of earth pressure on the flexible wall according to stage excavation depth but also magnitude and distribution of lateral deformation, and the equivalent earth pressure from strut axial loads were analyzed by the results measured from instruments such as, load cells, strain gauges, and in-situ inclinometer, on the field of subway construction. According to the results of this study in the case of stage excavation the earth pressure of soft clayey soil is compounded with Terzaghi-Peck and Tschebotarioff.

This paper deals with the experimental analysis of the flexural behaviour of encased composite beams with hollow core slabs and channels. The shear force between steel beams and hollow core slabs are transferred by channels. Three full-scale specimens were constructed and tested with different steel beam heights, which were compared with those of previous studies. Based on observation of the experiments, the encased composite beams exhibited full shear connection behaviour without any other shear connectors due to their inherent mechanical and chemical bond stress. Experimental results show a behaviour similar to steel-concrete composite beams with classical connectors: elastic and yield domains, great ductility, flexural failure mode (plastic hinge), low relative movement at steel-concrete interface and all specimens failed in a very ductile manner. Consequently, this study enables the validation of the proposed connection device under static loading and shows that it meets modern structural requirements.

Owing to increase of the large-scaled, high-raised and complexed building construction, the escape design of the building became very important issue to insure the safety of occupant. Specially, it is demanded to have building escape regulation considering for inconvenient movers such as disables elders pregnant women. However, building regulations for inconvenient movers are divided into "Regulation of Escape and Fire-prevention of Building" and "Act on the Promotion and Guarantee of Access for the Disabled, the Aged and Pregnant Women to Facilities and Information". But, for the escape security of inconvenient movers, the connection of each regulation are necessary. So this study suggested the improvement direction of the building escape regulation considering inconvenient movers through the compared analysis on the "Regulation of Escape and Fire-prevention of Building" and "Act on the Promotion and Guarantee of Access for the Disabled, the Aged and Pregnant Women to Facilities and Information".

최근 풍수해 현황 분석(국민안전처, 2016)에서는 2003년 이후 태풍 루사와 매미와 같은 대형태풍이 최근에 발생하지 않아 대부분 하천급류로 인한 인명피해가 대부분이라고 언급하였다. 최근 풍수해로 인한 피해가 발생하지는 않았지만 호우/태풍이 발생할 경우 인명보호와 불편해소를 최우선에 두고 각종 정책들을 선제적으로 추진하고 있어 홍수범람발생 예상지역에 대한 인명피해 분석은 반드시 필요하다고 판단된다. 최근들어 인명피해를 평가하는 기술은 피해자료로부터 비교적 간단히 분석되는 경험적 방법에서 2차원 동적 수리모형과 연계, 그리고 정밀한 인구, 건물 등의 자료를 활용하여 대피율, 사전경보 등 인명피해에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요소를 복합적으로 고려하고 개념적이고 기계적 방법으로 발전하는 추세이다. 우리나라의 경우 인명피해 평가와 관련한 연구사례가 거의 전무한 상태이고, 치수경제성분석에서 제시하는 침수면적에 기반한 간략한 방법만이 실무에서 활용되고 있다. 최근 국외에서 제시한 접근방법은 본 연구에서의 개발하고자 하는 목적과 방향에 부합하지 않다고 판단되며, 국내 실정을 고려할 때 주요 영향인자를 추가하고, 특히 노출인구, 인명 인벤토리의 해상도를 높이는 데 주안점을 두고자 한다. 홍수로 인한 인명피해 발생확률은 사후분석의 일환으로 침수흔적도를 통해 총 2개의 침수구간을 설정한 후 Census data를 활용한 위험인구(Population at Risk, PAR)를 산정한후, NDMS 인명피해 자료를 활용하여 침수구간별 인명피해 발생확률을 제시하였다. 여기서 제시한 침수구간의 경우 데이터의 축적정도에 따라 구간을 세밀화 할 수 있는데, 본 연구에서는 총 2개구간(0-1m, 1m 이상)으로 계략화 하여 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 4개의 지자체의 인명피해 자료를 통해 인명피해 발생확률을 산정하였으며, 해당내용을 시범유역의 빈도별 침수구역도에 적용하여 인명피해 발생을 분석하였다. 해당 연구결과의 경우 인명피해에 대한 명확한 결과를 유추하는데에는 한계가 있지만, 인명피해에 기반한 해당지역의 장래피해규모를 예측하는 데에는 기초가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Performance-oriented design has been introduced in fire protection design, and various efforts have been made to minimize the damage caused by fire in the design stage. We conducted a study to provide information for reasonable design factors using a Fire Dynamic Simulation code provided by the NIST on boundary width and amount of supply. This paper shows that using a living-room air-supply system in a large space and dividing the space by a ventilation boundary are the two factors that are considered to have the greatest influence on the design of the living room ventilation. The results show that for performance-based design, the width of the ventilation boundary is designed to be the maximum limit in the initial design. It is judged that reasonable air volume determination should be made through various methods.

Lighting that installed in large buildings detects a movement of passer using human-detecting sensor or occupancy sensor. It can turn on lighting automatically using sensor when there is any movement and turn off when there is no movement to reduce unnecessary power consumption. However, there is a problem of malfunction due to improper location of the sensor. Also the case of passage, even after passing through the passage, lighting is turned on for a long time. It does not reduce the power consumption efficiently. In this paper, we propose a method to control lighting by estimating the position of the passer. According to the result simulated in one passage, it is confirmed that the time of turning on the lighting is reduced about 7 minute compared to existing methods.
