Although hydrazine is an excellent liquid propellant, caution is required during storage and handling due to its high toxicity and reactivity. Safety guidelines should be established in consideration of the chemical reactivity by unintended leakage. In this study, the status of hydrazine facilities at launch site and safety standards for storing and handling were investigated and then, the reactivity between chemicals and hydrazine was analyzed. As a result of the analysis, hydrazine has reactivity with the exception of fuel oil. This paper emphasizes the imperative nature of constructing a dedicated hydrazine storage facility. Ensuring compatibility between hydrazine and the materials used in storage containers and handling equipment is crucial to prevent undesired reactions that could compromise safety. It was intended to be used as basic data to secure the range safety when handling hydrazine.

As the market for Internet of Things (IoT) service grows, the security issue of the data from IoT devices becomes more important. In this paper, we implemented a cryptographic library for confidentiality of sensor data from Android Things based IoT services. The library made use of the SEED algorithm for encryption/decryption of data and we verified the library by implementing a service environment. With the library, the data is securely encrypted and stored in the database and the service environment is able to represent the current sensing status with the decrypted sensor data. The contribution of this work is in verifying the usability of SEED based encryption library by implementation in IoT sensor based service environment.

Web-based health information provides a lot of conveniences, however the security vulnerabilities that appear in the network environment without the risk of exposure in the use of information are growing. Web-based medical information security issues when accessing only the technology advances, without attempting to seek a safe methodology are to increase the threat element. So it is required. to take advantage of web-based information security measures as a web-based access control security mechanism-based design. This paper is based on software architecture, design, ideas and health information systems were designed based on access control security mechanism. The methodologies are to derive a new design procedure, to design architecture and algorithms that make the mechanism functio n. To accomplish this goal, web-based access control for multiple patient information architecture infrastructures is needed. For this software framework to derive features that make the mechanism was derived based on the structure. The proposed system utilizes medical information, medical information when designing an application user retrieves data in real time, while ensuring integration of encrypted information under the access control algorithms, ensuring the safety management system design.

The industrial explosives in Korea have been made and used since 1952. The blasting accidents have increased gradually with the use of explosives. Based on the Police Department and Guns & Explosives Safety Technology Association's researching materials, the blasting accidents between 1988 and 1997 have been investigated and analyzed in this paper. FTA method was applied for the analysis of the blasting accidents which occurred in the tunnels, roads, subways, and various kinds of building construction area. The results show that the majority of the accidents, about 45.7% of the total, are due to the fly rocks. It is similar trend in Japan. The FTA analysis performed on the accidents by fly rocks shows that the major source of the accident is human factors such as non-observance of the safety rules, less knowledge of the safety and so on. The results of the study ate expected to provide basic data for making and observing the safety rules, making and amending the laws concerned and planning the security project. It will be helpful in preventing the blasting accidents and in reducing the loss of valuable lives and the financial damage.

In recent years, the occurrence of localized torrential rain has increased due to the increase in heavy rainfall and massive typhoons caused by abnormal weather. As a result, the flow rate of small and medium-sized rivers in Korea is rapidly increasing, affecting the safety of bridges and increasing the risk of scour. However, the domestic bridge construction technology does not reflect the watershed characteristics of domestic rivers because the bridge scour depth calculation formula developed overseas is used to calculate the bridge scour depth. Therefore, this study is a basic study for prevention of bridge damage according to scouring phenomenon, and a comparative analysis was performed between the experimental data measured through hydraulic model test and the scour depth formulas applied in Korea. In addition, the statistical analysis between experimental data and scour depth formula shows that Coleman's (1971) formula estimates the best scour depth. The results of this study are expected to be used to calculate more accurate bridge scour depth in river design and bridge design.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the basic data (e.g. education experience and awareness of the installation situation, and usage of indoor fire hydrants) for the effective planning, progress and improvement of fire safety education. For this purpose, we surveyed 198 participants and an analysis of the frequency and descriptive statistics based on the survey data was carried out using SPSS 20.0 for Windows. The analysis results showed that 87.9% of the research participants live in accommodation with indoor fire hydrants installed and that, among them, 17.7%, did not know their location. 63.6% of the research participants, had received fire safety education but, among them, 31.0% had never been educated about the use of indoor fire hydrants. The main type of fire education was instructor-led training, which represented 50.0% of the participants. We believe that the results of this paper will serve as a basis for efficient adult fire safety education.

지구온난화로 인한 홍수빈도 및 강우강도의 증가로 홍수피해의 규모는 더욱 증가하고 있다. 그리고 방재대책도 발생한 피해에 대한 복구를 주된 정책으로 하던 소극적 자세에서 벗어나 과학적 공학적 접근을 통해 재해에 대응할 수 있는 기술을 개발하는 적극적 홍수방어 체계를 구축하고 있다. 또한, 설계빈도의 무조건적인 상향조정에 따른 확정론적인 방법에 의존하기 보다는 추계학적 방법을 도입한 수문량 확충 및 매개변수의 불확실성 분석이 필요성이 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 일반적으로 수공구조물의 설계 시에는 설계홍수량을 사용하는데 이는 홍수특성, 홍수발생빈도, 홍수발생 가능성 등을 수공구조물의 규모와 파괴 시 예상되는 피해 정도에 따라 요구되는 안전성을 함께 고려해 수공구조물의 설계기준으로 활용된다. 설계홍수량은 지속시간과 재현기간을 사전에 지정하여 빈도분석을 통해 설계강우량을 산정하고 이를 강우-유출 분석을 함으로써 산정된다. 설계강우량은 빈도분석을 위해 선택된 강우형태에 따른 수문학적 무작위성을 포함하고 있다. 따라서 시간적 변동을 고려한 적절한 강우양상 형태의 선택은 수문학적으로 안전한 수공구조물의 설계 및 평가에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다. 현재의 경우는 강우형태에 대한 선택이 경험에 의해 임의로 이루어지므로, 토목공학자는 여러 가지 발생 가능한 강우형태에 따른 시간적 분포에 대해 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 Huff분위에 따른 무차원 누가 강우곡선을 이용해 강우변동양상 생성을 위한 제약조건을 log-ratio 변환을 이용해 극복하였으며, 결과의 통계 특성치를 Johnson 분포를 통해 표준정규분포로 변환시켰다. 무작위 변수 발생 후 강우양상별 표준정규값의 상관행렬을 이용하여 상관성이 있는 무작위변수로 변환하였다. 얻어진 상관성을 갖는 무작위변수는 log-ratio 역변환을 통해 상관성을 갖는 변수로 재변환해서 무차원화된 강우곡선을 얻을 수 있었다.
