Recently, mining facilities have being installed in an underground space according to a social demand for environment-friendly mine development. The underground structures for mining facilities usually requires a large volume of space with width greater than height, and thus the stability assessment of the large-scale underground mine structure is an important issue. In this study, we analysed a factor of safety based on strength reduction method, and proposed a numerical design approach to determining the dimension of underground mine structures in combination with a strength reduction method and a multivariate regression analysis. Input design parameters considered in the present study were the stress ratio and shear strength of rock mass, and the width and cover depth of underground mine structures. The stabilities of underground mine structures were assessed in terms of factor of safety under different conditions of the above input parameters. It was calculated by the strength reduction method, and several kinds of fit functions were obtained through various multivariate regression analyses. Using a best-fit regression model, we proposed the charts which provide preliminary design information on the dimension of underground mine structures.

Amid increasingly saturated ground space, development of underground space has been booming throughout the world and excavation has been underway near the structure above or under the ground level. But the ground subsidence caused by improper or poor construction technologies, underground water leakage, sudden changes of stratum and the problem with earth retaining system component has been emerged as hot social issue. To deal with such problems nationwide, establishment of preventive and proactive disaster management and rapid restoration system has been pushed now. In this study, collection of the data on technology development trend to secure the underground safety was made, taking into account of internal change elements (changing groundwater level, damage to underground utilities, etc) and external change elements (vehicle load, earthquake and ground excavation, etc) during excavation. Amid the growing need of ground behavior analysis, ground subsidence evaluation technology, safe excavation to prevent ground subsidence and reinforcement technology, improvement of rapid restoration technology in preparation for ground subsidence and development of independent capability, this study is intended to introduce the technology development in a bid to prevent the ground subsidence during excavation. It's categorized into prediction/evaluation technology, complex detect technology, waterproof reinforcement technology, rapid restoration technology and excavation technology which, in part, has been in process now.

Recent underground common utility tunnels are underground facilities for jointly accommodating more than 2 kinds of air-conditioning and heating facilities, vacuum dust collector, information processing cables as well as electricity, telecommunications, waterworks, city gas, sewerage system required when citizens live their daily lives and facilities responsible for the central function of the country but it is difficult to cope with fire accidents quickly and hard to enter into common utility tunnels to extinguish a fire due to toxic gases and smoke generated when various cables are burnt. Thus, in the event of a fire, not only the nerve center of the country is paralyzed such as significant property damage and loss of communication etc. but citizen inconveniences are caused. Therefore, noticing that most fires break out by a short circuit due to electrical works and degradation contact due to combustible cables as the main causes of fires in domestic and foreign common utility tunnels fire cases that have occurred so far, the purpose of this paper is to scientifically analyze the behavior of a fire by producing the model of actual common utility tunnels and reproducing the fire. A fire experiment was conducted in a state that line type fixed temperature detector, fire door, connection deluge set and ventilation equipment are installed in underground common utility tunnels and transmission power distribution cables are coated with fire proof paints in a certain section and heating pipes are fire proof covered. As a result, in the case of Type II, the maximum temperature was measured as $932^{\circ}C$ and line type fixed temperature detector displayed the fire location exactly in the receiver at a constant temperature. And transmission power distribution cables painted with fire proof paints in a certain section, the case of Type III, were found not to be fire resistant and fire proof covered heating pipes to be fire resistant for about 30 minutes. Also, fire simulation was carried out by entering fire load during a real fire test and as a result, the maximum temperature is $943^{\circ}C$, almost identical with $932^{\circ}C$ during a real fire test. Therefore, it is considered that fire behaviour can be predicted by conducting fire simulation only with common utility tunnels fire load and result values of heat release rate, height of the smoke layer, concentration of O2, CO, CO2 etc. obtained by simulation are determined to be applied as the values during a real fire experiment. In the future, it is expected that more reliable information on domestic underground common utility tunnels fire accidents can be provided and it will contribute to construction and maintenance repair effectively and systematically by analyzing and accumulating experimental data on domestic underground common utility tunnels fire accidents built in this study and fire cases continuously every year and complementing laws and regulations and administration manuals etc.

Government has established and operated GIS Data Base in such fields as land-use, road, and underground facilities since 1995. Based on these circumstances, the importance of spatial information industry began to emerge and accordingly MLIT (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) established "National Spatial Information Policy Master Plan" and "National Spatial Information Policy Action Plan". However, compared to other fields of transportation, the spatial information data base for railway facilities are not established and provided systematically. As shown in 'Korea National Spatial Data Infrastructure System', only 'transportation information' as an related information and 'transportation' field as an administrative information are included in the system. Detailed information for railway and its facilities are not included in the system. The reason why detailed information for railway facilities are not included in the system is that regulations for establishing and utilizing the spatial information of railway and its facilities are imperfect. In this study, trend of establishing spatial information and regulations related to railway and its facilities are reviewed. Through this review, improvement items such as complementing existent laws and establishing organization for managing spatial information data of railway are deduced and suggested. Based on this research 'Korea National Spatial Data Infrastructure System' could set a legal fundament and both integrated maintenance and operation of railway facilities could be possible.

도시지역에 있어서 홍수피해의 직접적인 원인으로는 외수의 범람에 의한 침수와 내수 배제 불량에 의한 침수피해로 구분할 수 있는데 최근 도시지역에 발생하는 홍수피해의 대부분은 외수의 직접 범람에 의한 피해보다는 각종 수리구조물의 배제능력 부족이나 방류지점에서의 배수위의 영향으로 인한 내수의 배제 불량에 기인한 피해가 증가하는 추세이다. 또한 최근 도시지역에 홍수피해를 유발하고 있는 강우의 특징은 단시간에 많은 강우가 집중하여 발생하는 국지성 집중호우로 단시간 내에 수공구조물의 기능을 마비시킴으로써 침수피해를 가중시키는 경향이 있으므로 배수시설 설계 시 이러한 강우의 특성과 도시유출 특성에 대한 고려가 요구되며 중요 시설물에 대해서는 설계빈도의 상향조정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존 도시유역에 적용되고 있는 강우-유출모형의 기본이론의 장 단점을 검토하여 본 연구의 목적과 용도에 가장 적합하다고 판단되는 SWMM 모형을 선정하여 적용하였다. 대구 서구 비산 7동 배수구역의 유출모의를 실시한바, 향후 경제적 편익을 고려하고, 정확한 실측 유량자료 값을 산정, 관거 내 유속을 방해하는 토사 등 보다 정확한 관거자료, 모의에 사용하는 각종 매개 변수값의 정확도를 높인다면 인위적인 배수계통을 가지는 도시유역에서의 각종 풍수해에 피해를 최소화 할 수 있는 보다 합리적인 방재대책 수립에 큰 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.
