Rapid economic development and urban population growth have been increasing the necessity for underground space exploration and utilization due to the need of upgrading and expanding the existing infrastructures. TBM has been widely used to construct underground structures with high advance rate and minimal ground disturbance. Two important design parameters, which are available thrust capacity and cutterhead torque, should be estimated for any project in addition to proper selection of TBM type. However, the conventional thrust force and torque estimation model only depends on the empirical equation, which hinders the design process of the optimal thrust hydraulic system and the appropriate hydraulic components. In this study, four thrust and torque calculation models are derived and explained. For TBM design practice, the four estimation models are compared and discussed.

건물, 차량, 사회인프라시설과 달리 농작물이란 물리적인 시설이 아닌 농업경제 활동의 결과물로서 최종적으로 판매를 통해 수익을 창출하는 행위에서 재난으로 인하여 지장을 받게 되는 경제적 피해가 고려되어야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 홍수로 인한 농작물 피해를 "생산비 매몰비용"과 "순수익 손해"를 농작물 피해추정의 척도로 하였다. 생산비 매몰비용이란 경작시작부터 피해발생까지 투입된 생산비의 회수불가에 따른 피해이며, 순수익 손해란 피해발생에 따른 기대 순수익 하락에 따른 피해를 의미한다. 다양한 작물 가운데 10종의 대표작물을 선택하고, 각 작물의 표준생산비와 표준순수익을 농업생산 및 수익과 관련한 통계자료로부터 결정하였다. 이로부터 생육경과율과 홍수 발생시기(6~9월)를 고려하여 월별 투입생산비 및 기대순수익을 결정하였다. 대상지역 내 재난에 노출된 작물정보를 정의하는 농작물 인벤토리는 농림축산식품부에서 제작된 스마트 팜 맵(농경지 전자지도)을 활용하였고, 다양한 작물이 혼재된 밭의 경우 농업면적조사 결과를 토대로 결정한 밭작물 재배현황비를 고려하였다. 홍수에 따른 취약성을 설명하는 농작물 손상함수는 영향인자는 침수심, 침수기간이며, 이를 기준으로 한 손상함수는 농림부의 농업재해피해조사요령과 일본 치수경제조사메뉴얼을 참고하여 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 농작물 피해 추정 방법은 기존 방법인 다차원 홍수피해산정법(MD-FDA)과 비교할 때 대표작물의 현실화, 국내 실정을 고려한 손상함수, 그리고 면적 기반의 원단위를 사용함으로써 실무적으로 명확하고 실용적으로 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to give a guiding implications to strengthen the competitiveness of port policy in Philippines, considering the inefficiencies in the port infrastructures and management systems in the country, despite its average economic growth of 5-6% and subsequent increment in passenger and trading volumes. These growth figures imply a compelling need for a systemic development plan and impellent actions. This study used the analytic hierarchy process for conducting a port competitiveness analysis and the data on deterrent factors were collected through literature and internal government documents including on-site interviews of the parties involved. The implications of the analysis led the study to conclude the need for adopting an enhanced centralized management, a separate investment and management for ports, a grade classification of nationwide small-, medium, and large-sized ports, efficient incoming systems for port dues, and an advanced mode of financing and investment inducement, among others.

As the construction of infrastructure using the underground tunnel in urban area have been rapidly increased, various accidents and collapses of tunnel including structure have been occurred in deep urban tunnelling. The concern and worry relating to the risk and safety of the tunnel during excavation is becoming the key issues in deep urban tunnelling. In this study, it was conducted for deep urban tunnel at GTX (Great Train Express) line which was located in Seoul metropolitan area to determine the risk characteristics for tunnel according to urban tunnelling. Also, it was reviewed the risk analysis and evaluation of the tunnel, shaft and station. And after a review of risk analysis and evaluation for risk register and hazard identification by using a risk matrix method, safety management of the tunnel according to excavation was evaluated to be secured. This study is expected to be applied as useful approach in deep urban tunnelling if you need to review the risk and safety management system of tunnel according to mitigation measures in complex urban tunnelling.

There is a possibility of cavities occurring inside and behind the lining of an aged tunnel structure. In most cases, it is not easy to check the cavity because it exists in a place where visual inspection is impossible. Recently, attempts have been made to evaluate the condition of the tunnel lining and the backfill materials using non-destructive tests such as Ground Penetrating Radar, and various related model tests and numerical analysis studies have been conducted. In this study, the GPR signal characteristics for tunnel lining model testing were analyzed using gprMax software, which was compared with model test results. The numerical model applied to the model test reasonably simulated the electromagnetic wave signal according to the change of the material such as tunnel lining and internal cavity. Using the verified GPR model, B-scan data for the development of the GPR signal analysis technique were obtained, which can evaluate the thickness of the tunnel lining, the presence of the cavity, the effect of the waterproof membrane, and the frequency band.

Traditional wastewater research mainly focuses on 1) estimating the amount of waste entering sewage treatment facilities, 2) evaluating the treatment efficiency of sewage facilities, 3) investigating the role of sewage treatment effluent as a point source, and 4) designing and managing sewage treatment facilities. However, since wastewater contains a variety of chemical and biological substances due to the discharge of human excreta and material used for daily living into it, the collective constituents of wastewater are likely a reflection of a community's status. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), an emerging and promising field of study that involves the analysis of substances in wastewater, can be applied to monitor the state of a defined community. WBE provides opportunities for exploiting indicators in wastewater to fulfill various objectives. The data analyzed under WBE are those pertaining to selected natural and anthropogenic substances in wastewater that are a result of the discharge of metabolic excreta, illicit or legal drugs, and infectious pathogens into the wastewater. This paper reviews recent progress in WBE and addresses current challenges in the field. It primarily discusses several representative applications including the investigation of drug consumption across different communities and the management of community disease and health. Finally, it summarizes established indicators for WBE.

Busan Port ranked 6th in the world with 21.67 million TEUs of container handling in 2018, but the ship supply industry has fallen short of that. Despite its technological prowess, Korea's ship supply industry lacks competitive edge in many aspects such as government support, integrated platform, and infrastructure compared to overseas ship supply industries. The use of code, which is not standardized, can be cited as a leading factor that undermines the competitiveness of Korea's ship supply industries. In the ship supply industry, the use of non-standardized codes can make it difficult to manage or analyze meaningful statistics, and, by extension, can lead to the loss of new business opportunities. Therefore, in this study, we intend to use local ship supply transaction data to study how to standardize item code to solve the problem.

This study evaluated the fire detection performance of an automatic fire extinguishing system for road tunnels, which combines flame wavelength detection technology with flame image detection technology. This fusion technique to improve the fire detection capability can reduce the damage caused by the fire suppression by locating the fire source in the fire and discharging the pressurized water only at the fire source. Experiments were conducted to determine the position of a fire source when a $70cm{\times}70cm$ target was placed at a distance of 15 m, 20 m, 25 m, 30 m, and 35 m, respectively, in a situation where there is a flame and smoke in a tunnel. The performance of the ultraviolet and triple wavelength infrared (IR3) sensors was attenuated due to the interference of thick smoke. In addition when the flame was blocked by thick smoke, the image sensor sensed the smoke and emitted a fire signal.

To determine if water-jet nozzle moves and water jetting are effective according to the location of the fire, this study examined the automatic fire-tracking water cannon system and aan indoor hydrant system, such as water jet centered directivity, water jet range maintainability and water jet shape uniformity. First, an examination to find the center of fire accurately from this system design showed that the water jet centered test was accurate. Second, the water jet range test results showed that when water is jetted at the maximum water jet radius, the water jet shows an inaccurate result but within the allowable tolerance range. Finally, the water-jet shape test result confirmed that there are no problems in setting the block from the algorithm design.
