Wind load or snow load, acting on agricultural structures is working more sensitive than any other load and therefore plays an important role in determination of design loads of agricultural structures. In this study, unit snow weight, greatest gust speed and depth of snow fall were analyzed and applied to determine the amount of frames. The unit snow weights were statistically classified and calculated in the basis of mean temperature and showed considerable differences between the unit snow weights at below and above -1$^{\circ}C$. Equations for estimating greatest gust speed with fastest wind speed were developed for inland and seaside districts. The calculated values from developed equations were little higher than those from the current equation in general. The difference between the depths of snow cover and snow fall, which shows the possibility of reduction of design loads under the adequate management. Design wind speed estimated by a modified equation suggested the amount of frames less than those by current one, and the depth of snow fall as a design snow depth suggested the amount of frames more than those of snow cover. Therefore, it is very important to select the adequate design values considering the characteristics of agricultural structures.

Since the domestic utility tunnels were built mainly in the development project of the new city, they are all in the form of cut-and-cover box tunnel. But, in the case of overseas construction of utility tunnels for existing urban areas, the bored tunnel types are mainly adopted. It is reasonable to install bored tunnels in a downtown area because it is difficult to block the roads or install bypass roads due to heavy traffic and civil complaints. In order to activate the utility tunnels in bored type, it is necessary to secure optimized cross-sectional design technology considering the optimal supplying capacity and mutual influencing factors (Thermal Interference, electrolytic corrosion, efficiency of the maintenance, etc.) of utilities (power cables, telecommunication cables, water pipes, etc.). The optimal cross-section design method for bored utility tunnels is ultimately to derive the optimal arrangement technique for the utilities. In order to develop the design methods, firstly, the cases of tunnel cross-section (Shield TBM, Conventional Tunneling) in overseas shall be investigated to analyze the characteristics of the installation of utilities in the section and installation of auxiliary facilities, It is necessary to sort out and analyze the criteria related to the inner cross-section design (arrangement) presented in the standards and guidelines.

Because of ultra-high buildings or deeper underground space, recent buildings have the potential that people who have lack of physical strength collapse before arriving at the emergency exits when catastrophes occur. In case of fire, the way to escape is that first, people take the stairs of the adjacent areas and then use the elevator to the remaining distance by road to escape notice or be safe. For this reason, the skyscrapers guidelines of Seoul for information on the elevator for evacuation has been established. Nevertheless, when designing buildings to install a elevator for evacuation separately is not effective, so passenger elevators installation according to the criteria are encouraged to use as evacuation elevators. However, this does not include detailed design guidelines so far. Therefore, this study was to investigate design method to use the passenger elevator for evacuation according to the domestic law and international installation criteria, and to calculated number of lifts and refuge to use the elevator using by the ELVAC+ and PathFinder evacuation program.

It is well known that emergency outlet works have to be provided for the safety of dams. However, concept of emergency outlet works did not applied for the design of the most dams in Korea. Korean design standard for low-level outlet works does not provide enough design criteria which could be used in design of emergency outlet works. In this research, as-built status and hydraulic design criteria of outlet works, such as drawdown rate or hydraulic pressure due to the impounded water depth, were examined. Another relationship between drawdown rate and the dam slope stability was also examined with SEEP model. It was found that 25% reduction of impounded water depth decreases the pressure forces about 50%. Therefore, outlet works should be designed to drawdown properly at the beginning of the emergency. Seepage analysis of dam bodies showed that most of Korean dams could safely stand for 1m/day drawdown rate. Higher drawdown rate could result high discharge so the drawdown rate must be related with the flood risk of downstream. Finally, multi-stage design was recommended that faster discharge for the initial 25% of water depth in 7-10 days than the rest of it in 1-2 months.

A carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays a very important role to reduce $CO_2$ dramatically in $CO_2$ emission sources which are distributed throughout various areas. Numerous research works have been undertaken to analyze the techno-economic feasibility of planning the CCS infrastructure. However, uncertainties such as $CO_2$ emissions, $CO_2$ reduction costs, and carbon taxes may exist in various impact factors of the CCS infrastructure. However, few research works have adopted these uncertainties in designing the CCS infrastructure. In this study, a two-stage stochastic programming model is developed for planning the CCS infrastructure under uncertain operating costs and carbon taxes. It can help determine where and how much $CO_2$ to capture, store or transport for the purpose of minimizing the total annual $CO_2$ reduction cost in handling the uncertainties while meeting the $CO_2$ mitigation target. The capability of the proposed model to provide correct decisions despite changing the operating costs and carbon taxes is tested by applying it to a real case study based on Korea. The results will help to determine planning of a CCS infrastructure under uncertain environments.

Placement method for fire detectors prescribed in current fire safety regulation is just about placing a prescribed number of detectors according to the areas. However, this regulation has no scientific basis and standards from foreign countries are just introduced and fire detectors are installed complying with them. There are two standards in designing fire protection systems; Prescriptive-Based Design that follows stipulated regulations like fire safety standards and Performance-Based Design based on engineering knowledge such as fire dynamics, structural dynamics, mechanics of materials, fluid mechanics, and thermo dynamics. Recently, Fire Protection System Construction Business Act was revised so that fire protection systems can be designed using Performance-Based Design method ('05. 8. 4), though the method has not activated until now. In addition, the enforcement decree defines the range for specific objects of fire protection to which Performance-Based Design is applied ('07, 1. 24). At the moment, by manufacturing simulator so that formulas can be introduced and calculated with software in order to install fire detector of automatic fire detection systems keeping optimized distance, comparing the results with the state of fire detector placed according to Performance-Based Design and analyzing them, this study was intended to settle Performance-Based Design method in the future.

Purpose: Currently, in the case of domestic fire fighting facility design, it is difficult to secure highquality manpower due to low design costs and overheated competition between companies, so there is a limit to improving the fire safety performance of buildings. Accordingly, AI-based firefighting design solutions were studied to solve these problems and secure leading fire engineering technologies. Method: Through AutoCAD, which is widely used in existing fire fighting design, the procedures required for basic design and implementation design were processed, and AI technology was utilized through the YOLO v4 object recognition deep learning model. Result: Through the design process for fire fighting facilities, the facility was determined and the drawing design automation was carried out. In addition, by learning images of doors and pillars, artificial intelligence recognized the part and implemented the function of selecting boundary areas and installing piping and fire fighting facilities. Conclusion: Based on artificial intelligence technology, it was confirmed that human and material resources could be reduced when creating basic and implementation design drawings for building fire protection facilities, and technology was secured in artificial intelligence-based fire fighting design through prior technology development.

가공배전선로는 야외에 시설되어 하계의 태풍 및 동계의 설해와 같은 자연재해에 상시 노출됨에 따라 지지물 절손 피해가 발생할 우려가 높다. 따라서 직선으로 시설되는 전주가 절손되지 않도록 설계지역의 기상조건을 감안하여 전주강도가 충분한지 여부를 검토하여야 한다. 그러나 현업에 종사하는 설계원들이 어떠한 방법으로 전주강도를 검토하는지에 대한 이해가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 고에서는 전주강도 계산과 관련하여 연구된 이론을 설명하였고, 그 이론을 바탕으로 장경간개소와 표준경간에 설치되는 전주에 대한 설계방안을 연구한 결과를 사례를 통해서 설명하였다. 본 고에서 제시한 방법에 따라 설계를 시행한다면 직선으로 시공되는 전주들의 강도가 태풍 및 설해에 대비하여 충분히 확보됨에 따라 재해 시에도 이로 인한 전주 절손 피해가 예방될 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 또한 전기고장 예방을 통한 고품질 전력확보에도 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

우수 관거 시스템에서 맨홀의 설치 시 연결관 내부와 맨홀의 내부는 여러 가지 수리학적 조건이 다르므로 수두손실의 발생이 필연적일 수밖에 없다. 현재 계획 또는 설계단계에서 수행되고 있는 관거 시설의 수리계산에는 연결관 내에서의 마찰손실만을 고려하여 설계를 수행하고 있으며, 맨홀에서의 수두 손실은 거의 대부분 고려되지 않고 있다. 단지 맨홀에서의 수두손실을 저감하기 위하여 하수도시설기준(환경부, 2005)상의 단차 및 인버트 규정만 있을 뿐, 우수 관거 설계에 직접적으로 필요한 적절한 맨홀의 손실계수가 제시되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 국외에서는 축소 수리 모형을 이용한 실험과 수치해석 기법 등을 이용하여 맨홀에서의 손실계수를 산정하는 연구가 꾸준히 진행되어 왔으나 국내에서는 맨홀의 손실계수 산정에 관한 연구가 미흡한 실정이며, 더욱이 맨홀에서의 손실계수 산정을 위한 상사성 적용에 관한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 맨홀의 축척 변화에 따른 손실계수의 변화를 분석하기 위하여 하수도시설기준(환경부, 2005)의 특 1호(사각형) 맨홀을 각각 1/2과 1/5로 축소 제작하고, 수리실험 장치를 제작하였다. Froude 상사 법칙을 적용하여 1/2의 축소 모형의 실험 조건을 1/5 축소 모형의 값으로 환산하였으며, 각 축소 모형에 대한 수리 실험을 실시하였다. 과부하된 맨홀의 손실계수를 예측하는데 Froude 상사법칙의 사용 가능성을 확인 하였으며, 1/2 축소 모형과 1/5 축소 모형에서 산정된 손실계수 값이 0.45로 일치하고 있으므로 우수 관거 시스템의 맨홀 설계 시, 축소 수리 모형실험에서 산정된 손실계수의 직접적인 적용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

In order to develop a safe geological disposal concept for the HLW from the nuclear power plants in Korea, it is necessary to evaluate the safety of the disposal concept in an underground research tunnel in the same geological formation as the host rock mass. The design concept of a research tunnel depends on the actual disposal concept, repository geometry, experiments to be carried at the tunnel, and geological conditions. In this study, geological investigation had been carried out to develop the basic design of the small scale underground disposal research tunnel in KAERI.
