In this study, we introduce a system for real-time monitoring of field conditions within an industrial complex using a 5G network UAV (: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). When a monitoring event occurs in a sensor mounted on a UAV (detection of fire, harmful gas, or industrial disaster type human accident), key information from the sensor is transmitted to the UAS (: Unmanned Aerial System) application server. As a result of this information transmission and processing, managers or operators of the Industrial Complex Corporation were able to secure legal basis data for fatal accidents, fires, and detection of harmful gases at sites within the Industrial Complex Corporation through trigger processing for each accident risk situation.

In this paper, we propose the development of embedded board for integrated radiation exposure protection fireman's life-saving alarm capable of location tracking and radiation measurement. The proposed techniques consist of signal processing unit, communication unit, power unit, main control unit. Signal processing units apply shielding design, noise reduction technology and electromagnetic wave subtraction technology. The communication unit is designed to communicate using the wifi method. In the main control unit, power consumption is reduced to a minimum, and a high performance system is formed through small, high density and low heat generation. The proposed techniques are equipment operated by exposure to poor conditions, such as disaster and fire sites, so they are designed and manufactured for external appearance considering waterproof and thermal endurance. The proposed techniques were tested by an authorized testing agency to determine the effectiveness of embedded board. The waterproof grade has achieved the IP67 rating, which can maintain stable performance even when flooded with water at the disaster site due to the nature of the fireman's equipment. The operating temperature was measured in the range of -10℃ to 50℃ to cope with a wide range of environmental changes at the disaster site. The battery life was measured to be available 144 hours after a single charge to cope with emergency disasters such as a collapse accident. The maximum communication distance, including the PCB, was measured to operate at 54.2 meters, a range wider than the existing 50 meters, at a straight line with the command-and-control vehicle in the event of a disaster. Therefore, the effectiveness of embedded board for embedded board for integrated radiation exposure protection fireman's life-saving alarm has been demonstrated.

Purpose: The construction history of domestic port facilities has been more than 100 years, and until recently, modern facilities have been continuously built and expanded. However, it is not easy to keep the required performance conditions at the time of initial construction due to changes in the marine environment and increase in volume. In particular, in the case of harbor structures that have a long service life, safety performance and function management are becoming very important due to the increase in the size of ships, the increasing frequency of use, and the increase in the scale of natural disasters. Method: Therefore, this study investigates the state change by structural type of port facilities and analyzes the rehabilitation activities and the history that contribute to the performance improvement and life extension activities. Result: Through this, we distinguished between performance improvement cost (CAPEX) and repair maintenance activity (OPEX) that can be used to establish port facility maintenance strategy, and suggested cost model that can be used to establish maintenance strategy. Conclusion: These studies are expected to contribute greatly to mid- to long-term investment decisions.

Purpose: This study aims to develop an algorithm for predicting sediment discharge by debris flow, and develop GIS-based decision support system for optimal arrangement of check dam. Method: The average stream width and flow length were used to predict the cumulative sediment discharge by debris flow. At this time, the amount of slope failure on source area and average flow length were utilized as input factors. Result: The predicted sediment discharge calculated through the algorithm was 1.1 times different on average compared to the actual sediment discharge by debris flow. In addition, the program is an objective indicator that selects the location and size of the check dam, and it can help practitioners make rational decisions. Conclusion: The soil erosion control works are being implemented every year. Therefore, it is expected that the GIS-based decision support system for location and size of the check dam will contribute to the prevention of sediment-related disasters.

Over the last 10 years, the number of disasters has been increasing in Korea. As a result, the need for temporary residences or shelters for disaster conditions is increasing. In this study, post-disaster refugees housing was developed using lightweight composite panels that are lighter than the materials that make up the existing shelter. To accomplish this, the structural performance of the lightweight composite panel was validated. Among the performance tests on the panels, the transverse load test was conducted according to the ASTM E 72 criteria. As a result of the experiment, when each specimen was subjected to a uniformly distributed load, the allowable load was determined according to the span. All the experiments were ended due to a loss of adhesive at the junction of the skin and core. Further analysis was conducted to calculate the shear stress when the junction was dropped. The mean shear stress at the adhesive surface of a specimen, 150 mm and 200 mm in thickness, was 0.0170MPa and 0.0156MPa, respectively. This suggests that similar values were obtained from panels of equal thickness. In addition, this stress provides a criterion of judgment that could be used to inspect the structural performance of the panels. The performance of the panel was evaluated based on the allowable load, but it may be possible to increase the strength of the lightweight composite panel by improving the joining method to avoid separation from the junction.

우리나라는 홍수기(6~9월)에 집중되는 기상패턴과 하천 중하류부에 발달된 도시의 개발특성으로 인하여 가장 중요한 자연재해 중 하나로 홍수 및 도시침수가 거론되고 있다. 과거 집중호우로 침수 피해가 발생한 사례를 살펴보면, 피해가 발생하는 지역은 지방하천 및 소하천을 중심으로 형성된 도시지역이다. 중앙 지방 정부는 수차례 침수 피해를 겪으며 사후관리가 아닌 재난예방 및 사전관리 등의 방안 마련을 강조하고 있다. 하지만 기후변화에 의한 기상의 불확실성으로 치수 중심의 물관리 및 중 소하천의 하천 특성으로 여전히 홍수 발생에 대비할 수 있는 골든타임 확보 등에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위해 사전 예방적 차원에서의 홍수대응 방안으로 중 소하천을 담당하는 지자체 중심의 홍수피해 저감 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 A 지자체를 대상으로 모니터링 대상 경계를 설정하여 우량 알람 기준을 예비알람, 주요 관측지점에 대해 강우에 따른 수위 상승 정도를 홍수대응 기준인 직접알람과 연계함으로써 예방적 재난대응 체계를 구축하였다. 모니터링 대상 지역은 해당 지자체를 포함하면서 유역 개념을 적용하여 만경강유역 전체로 설정하였다. 만경강 유역 내 유관기관(지자체, 환경부, K-water, 기상청 등)이 관할하는 우량국(41개소) 및 수위국(28개소), 저수용량이 30만톤 이상이 되는 농어촌공사 저수지(7개소)를 고려하여 홍수분석 모형(COSFIM)을 구축하였다. 해당 모형은 2018년 8월 호우사상에 대해 주요 수위관측 지점에서 $R^2$가 0.8 이상의 우수한 검증 결과를 보였다. 구축된 모형을 통해 예상강우량별 하천 내 수위지점별 최고수위, 최대유량, 도달시간 등 예상 조견표를 제시하여 호우 발생시 지자체 담당자가 참고할 수 있도록 제시하였다. 또한 수위지점별 홍수대응 기준은 평시, 관심, 주의, 경계, 심각 단계로 구분하여 담당자가 수위별 위험 정도를 인지할 수 있도록 지점별 도달되는 수위의 위험 정보를 알람기준으로 제시하였다. 홍수분석 모형은 상류에 위치한 주요시설물의 운영현황을 연계하고 있어 실제 강우 발생 시 기상예보를 고려하여 하천 내 수위관측 지점별 수위 상승 정도를 예상함으로써 사전에 홍수에 대비할 수 있는 단계별 시간 확보에 활용 가능하다. 향후 홍수대응기준은 하천 환경 변화를 반영하여 지속적인 보완이 필요하며 유관기관과의 수문자료 공유체계 확대로 예방적 차원의 홍수 대응 체계가 구축되어야 할 것이다.

Purpose: Inspection and diagnosis on the performance and safety through domestic port facilities have been conducted for over 20 years. However, the long-term development strategies and directions for facility renewal and performance improvement using the diagnosis history and results are not working in realistically. In particular, in the case of port structures with a long service life, there are many problems in terms of safety and functionality due to increasing of the large-sized ships, of port use frequency, and the effects of natural disasters due to climate change. Method: In this study, the maintenance history data of the gravity type quay in element level were collected, defined as big data, and a predictive approximation model was derived to estimate the pattern of deterioration and aging of the facility of project level based on the data. In particular, we compared and proposed models suitable for the use of big data by examining the validity of the state-based deterioration pattern and deterioration approximation model generated through machine learning algorithms of GP and SGP techniques. Result: As a result of reviewing the suitability of the proposed technique, it was considered that the RMSE and R² in GP technique were 0.9854 and 0.0721, and the SGP technique was 0.7246 and 0.2518. Conclusion: This research through machine learning techniques is expected to play an important role in decision-making on investment in port facilities in the future if port facility data collection is continuously performed in the future.

As natural disasters have been increasing due to climate change, sustainable solutions are in need to alleviate the degree of drought hazard, assess and project the drought influence based on future climate change scenarios. In assessing drought risk, socio-economic factors of the region must be considered along with meteorological factors. This study categorized drought hazard, exposure, and vulnerability as three major components of drought risk according to the Intergovernmental panel on Climate Change (IPCC) risk assessment framework, and selected indices for each component to quantify the drought risk in South Korea according to the mid-size basins. Combinations of climate scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathway; RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5) and socio-economic scenarios (Shared Socio-economic Pathways; SSP 1, SSP2 and SSP3) for the near future (2030-2050) ant the far future (2080-2099) were utilized in drought risk analysis, and results were compared with the historical data (1986-2005). In general, the drought risks for all scenarios shows large increases as time proceeds to the far furture. In addition, we analyzed the rank of drought hazard, exposure, vulnerability for drought risk, and each of their contribution. The results showed that the drought hazard is the most contributing component to the increase of drought risk in future and each basin shows varying contributing components. Finally, we suggested countermeasures for each basin according to future climate change scenarios, and thus this study provides made the basis for establishing drought management measures.
