The surface settlement of the back ground of a braced wall due to the ground excavation has the great influence on the safety of the surrounding area. But it is not easy to predict the settlement of the surrounding area due to proud excavation. Estimation of the settlement of the surface ground induced by the deformation of the braced wall is performed by FEM and empirical method (Peck, Clough etc). In this research, surface settlement of the back ground braced wall depending on the joint dips in rocks during excavating the composit ground was measured at the large scale model test (standard: $0.3m{\times}0.3m{\times}0.5m$). The scale of model test was 1/14.5 and the ground was excavated in ten steps. Earth pressure on the braced wall and ground surface settlement on the back ground of a braced wall were investigated. The surface settlement during the excavation depended on the joint dips in rocks on of the ratio of rock layer. Maximum earth pressure and maximum surface settlement were masured at the same excavation step. In accordance with the increase of the rock layer dips and rock layer ratio, the ground surface settlement increased. The maximum ground surface settlement was 17 times larger at 60 degree joint dips in rocks than that of the horizontal ground conditions. And the position of the maximum surface settlement by empirical method was calculated at the point, which was 17%~33% of excavation depth. In accordance with the increase of the rock layer dips and rock layer ratio, the ground maximum surface settlement increased. The ground surface settlement of composite ground is smaller than that of the empirical.

A traffic accident prediction model developed using various design variables(road design variables, geometric variables, and traffic environmental variables) is one of the most important factors to safety design evaluation system for roads. However, statistical accident models have a crucial problem not applicable for all intersections. To make up this problem, this study developed AMFs(Accident Modification Factors) through statistical modeling methods, historical accident databases, judgment from traffic experts, and literature review by considering design variable's characteristics, traffic accident rates, and traffic accident frequency. AMFs developed in this study include exclusive left-turn lane, exclusive right-turn lane, sight distance, and intersection angle. Predictabilities of the developed AMFs and the existing accident prediction models are compared with real accident historical data. The results showed that performances of the developed AMFs are superior to the existing statistical accident prediction models. These findings show that AMFs should be considered as a important process to develop safety design evaluation algorithms. Additionally, AMFs could be used as an index that can judge the impact of corresponding design variables on accidents in rural intersections.

This study aims to fathom the relationship between socio-economic security and social cohesion which are two sub-domains of Social Quality, on the institutional context of welfare state. In order to grasp the institutional context of welfare state, the study adopted welfare status theory and measured socio-economic resources of individuals via the status as welfare beneficiary and welfare taxpayer. The study postulates a theoretical model that the socio-economic security domain affects the social cohesion domain. In order to verity the theoretical hypothesis, this study utilized structural equations analysis(SEM) using social survey data conducted in year 2008. Recognition of social trust was included as the core index of social cohesion, and welfare statuses, socio-economic security and social trust were inserted in the sequence. Results revealed that the amount of resource in regards to welfare status of rights had significant influence on the socio-economic security, whereas it had no significant relations in regards to welfare status of duties. The recognition of socio-economic security derived from status of welfare rights and duties were positively associated with recognition of social trust. Also, the recognition of socio-eocnomic security turned out to have significant influence on social trust. Conclusively, among the two sub-domains of Social Quality, the study found that the socio-economic domain has influence on social cohesion domain. Such results suggest that in order to enhance the overall social cohesion in Korea, more delicate arrangement of welfare institutions are required.

Traffic accidents can be defined as a physical collision event of vehicles occurred instantaneously when drivers do not perceive the surrounding vehicles and roadway environments properly. Therefore, detecting the high potential events that cause traffic accidents with monitoring the interactions among the surroundings continuously by driver is the prerequisite for prevention the traffic accidents. For the analysis, basic data were collected to analyze interactions using a test vehicle which is equipped the GPS(Global Positioning System)-IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit), camera, radar and RiDAR. From the collected data, highway geometric information and the surrounding traffic situation were analyzed and then safety evaluation algorithm for driving vehicle was developed. In order to detect a dangerous event of interaction with surrounding vehicles, locations and speed data of surrounding vehicles acquired from the radar sensor were used. Using the collected data, the tangent and curve section were divided and the driving safety evaluation algorithm which is considered the highway geometric characteristic were developed. This study also proposed an algorithm that can assess the possibility of collision against surrounding vehicles considering the characteristics of geometric road structure. The methodology proposed in this study is expected to be utilized in the fields of autonomous vehicles in the future since this methodology can assess the driving safety using collectible data from vehicle's sensors.

안전한고 쾌적한 보행환경을 조성하여 보행 교통을 활성화시킨다면, 자동차의 사용이 줄게 되고 자동차의 유해한 배출가스로 인한 공기 오염 및 소음 등을 낮출 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 도심부의 미관 증대, 역사적 구역의 보존, 물리적인 도시 이미지 향상 등의 효과로 도심기능의 활성화에 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 이와 같은 보행통행의 중요성을 인식하여 안전하고 효율성 있는 보행동선을 조성할 필요가 있다. 그러나 상당수의 종합병원과 같은 공공성을 띤 건물들은 대부분의 보행자가 보행동선을 이용하여 건물에 접근하는데도 불구하고 차량을 중심으로 동선이 운영되고 있는 실정이다. 차량위주의 동선 체계는 보행 통행자로 하여금 차량통행으로의 전환을 유도할 가능성이 있어 이에 대한 대책이 필요하다. 본 연구는 분석대상으로 차량과 보행자에게 동등하게 접근의 용이성을 제공해야 하는 광주시의 4대 종합병원을 대상으로 보행자 집단에게 가해지는 저항이 구체적으로 얼마나 심각하며, 그 원인은 어떠한 물리적 조건에 의하여 발생하는지 알아 보았다. 보행저항을 파악하기 위한 지표로는 차량과 보행자의 충돌점의 수, 최단거리 선호도, 보행로 미확보율 등을 설정하여 분석하였다. 이러한 분석의 결과 나타난 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 방안도 함께 모색하였다.

본 글은 부산-김해간 경량전찰 건설공사의 기초설계시 현장타설말뚝 기초의 지지층을 모래자갈층으로 적용한 사례이다. 낙동강 유역은 퇴적층이 발달하여 풍화암 이상의 기반암층이 지표하 60~80m 이후에서 출현하며, 40m 이상의 심도에서 매우 조밀한 상태의 모래자갈층이 10-20m 두께로 분포하고 있어, 모래자갈층을 관통하여 기반암에 말뚝기초를 지지할 경우 기초공사에 상당한 기간이 소요될 뿐만 아니라, 시공성과 경제적인 측면에서 매우 불리하다. 이에 대한 개선방안으로 대구경 현장타설말뚝을 N치 50 이상의 조밀한 상태의 모래자갈층에 지지하였으며, 인근현장의 적용사례, 기초 구조물 안전성 검토 및 현장재하시험 등의 비교분석을 통하여 모래자갈 지지층의 적정성을 확인하였다. 따라서, 풍화암 이상의 지지지반 출현심도가 60m 이상으로 매우 깊고, 지지지반 상부에 모래자갈층이 두껍게 분포하는 경우에는 모래자갈층을 말뚝기초의 지지층으로 활용하는 방안이 시공성 및 경제성 측면에서 합리적이라 판단된다.

According to the "Safety Evaluation Detailed Instructions (Dam)", precise safety inspection is carried out for dams that exceed a certain scale. However, as the Hydrological Safety Evaluation from various evaluation standards is designed to evaluate the safety of existing dams considering PMF, the evaluation is much less applicable for most agricultural reservoirs. Therefore, the Hydrological Safety Guidelines for agricultural reservoirs are expected to be re-evaluated considering the diverse risk factors with the coefficient model and AHP in this study. The coefficient model has been developed by selecting the hydrological safety superordinate subordinate evaluation factors to reflect diverse risk factors of agricultural reservoirs. After calculating the sum of indicators score for each evaluation factors, validation procedures were performed for the questionnaire which a panel answered. The practical coefficient has eventually been estimated for the hydrological safety evaluation considering the diverse risk factors. The conclusions acquired based on the study done are that both most agricultural reservoirs were classified as flood defense capability is insufficient and agricultural reservoirs which meet embankment-freeboard standards considering PMF was overestimated.

The desire for living without hazardous damages grows these days, the city strategy to make the safer community has become an issue. The global assessment for the flood index require the process considering different climate of the world cities. In this study, the actual rainfall observations of the world's major cities were collected. To compare different rainfall characteristics, we calculated some indicators such as frequency factor etc using the probable maximum precipitation. Using the results of these indicators, major cities in Korea show greater variability in the rainfall characteristics when compared to other major cities in the world. These results are expected to be useful for the development of global flood risk assessment as well as the setting the direction for future flood prevention measures.
