  • According to the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency's (KOSHA) report on industrial accident statistics over the past four years, the number of casualties at construction sites from 2017 to June 2020 was about 93,158 and the number of deaths was about 1,977, showing a high trend of safety accidents among the eight major occupational groups, with the construction industry ranking third in total and the death rate being the highest in total. Among them, the number of deaths caused by falls in the entire occupational category is about 1,267, the highest rate of deaths due to contact is about 522, which is a frequent safety accident among the top three accident types. This paper aims to help reduce the overall proportion of construction safety accidents by developing smart safety sensing devices using ultrasonic sensors to prevent two types of safety accidents, which have the highest rate of occurrence among various types of safety accidents occurring at construction sites.

  • The death toll in the Korean construction industry accounts for more than 50% of all business deaths. This is the highest level among OECD countries, and the government has proposed various solutions to this, but has not seen any significant effect. In order to strengthen safety responsibilities and obligations to CEOs of companies in the blind spot of punishment, including those who have the greatest authority and influence in the construction industry, the Moon Jae In government strengthened various laws, including legislation of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act. However, at this point in time, half a year later, it is still questionable whether such punishment has been strengthened and the effectiveness of fragmentary measures has been exerted. This paper attempted to present legislative policy directions for the problems of the current system and future improvement measures to contribute to reducing significant accidents in the CM/supervision industry among the various subjects of the construction industry.

  • Fatal accidents in the construction industry account for a higher proportion than other industries, and in particular, the collapse accident of formwork is likely to lead to a serious accident like death. This study aim to derive the importance ranking of formwork collapse factors using AHP technique for preventing fatal accident. The AHP survey was conducted on field construction engineers, construction project managers, safety managers, and formwork specialist foreman with 10 years on site experience. The results of AHP analysis is that the most importance factor of formwork collapse accident is 'non-compliance with the formwork shoring assembly drawing'. Next it is important in the order of 'poor installation of formwork shoring and accessories', 'formwork shoring is not installed vertically', 'non-compliance with the concrete curing period of the formwork shoring', 'safety supervisor not designated and negligent'. It is necessary to preferentially and intensively manage the high importance factors presented as a result of this research for reducing formwork collapse accident. In addition, it will contribute to reducing construction safety accidents if the factors of the formwork collapse accident suggested in this research are included in the formwork inspection check list and checked step by step in formwork construction.

  • A quantitative method was suggested for estimating damages in fishery production due to the diffusion and deposition of suspended silt and clay by various construction processes in tidal flat fishing grounds. Marine populations are maintained through the process of spawning, growth, recruitment, natural death and death by fishing each year. All of the year classes of the population in a fishery ground could be affected when damages occur by human activities such as land filling or reclamation. The propose of this study is to calculate damages in terms of fishery production using a quantitative population dynamic method. If the maximum age in the population is $X_\lambda,$ the starting year of damage is $t_s,$ and the ending year of damage is $t_e,$ the number of year classes damaged is $t_{s-n\lambda}-t_e,$ Many year classes present in the year $t_s,$ and so if damages occur, they Influence all the year classes which are present in the population. Damaged year classes in year $t_e$ would still be in the population until the year $t_{e+n\lambda}$, where $n_{\lambda}$ is the oldest age class. If the expected yield of a year class is constant, the total yield from year classes in the fishing ground during the construction periods can be calculated as follows: $Y_\Phi=[(t_e-t_s+1)+n_c]{\cdot}Y_E+\sum\limits^{n_\lambda-n_c}_{l=1}\;\sum\limits^{n_\lambda-n_c}_{l=i}\;Y_{n_c+i}$ This method was applied for damage estimation in the production of Ruditapes philippinarum in a tidal flat fishing ground.

  • This study examines the occurrence of accidents when workers were travelling on construction sites and the differences in risk involved in each occupation. An analysis of 750 fatal accident reports found that in 138 cases, the fatality occurred when the workers were travelling on site. The 138 cases were then divided according to occupation and were then examined to determine how the workers in each occupation had been affected by various hazardous situations. There were significant differences in accident occurrence between the occupations and in the various hazardous situations. The results imply that the cultural aspect of each occupation leads to a substantial difference in the possibility of fatal injuries or death and that such differences in risk should be taken into account when planning the workers' movements on site. The findings of this study aim to help workers to understand the risks entailed when travelling on site and also to assist managers in the planning of workers, movements on construction sites.

A Study on the Construction Process and Architectural Characteristics of the Korean Pavilion in 1900 Paris Universal Exposition; Focused on the Plan of Korean Pavilion designed by Comte de Mimerel, the General Affairs Committee (1900년 파리 만국박람회 "한국관" 의 건축경위 및 건축적 특성에 관한 연구;프랑스 측 총무대원 미므렐 백작(Comte de Mimerel)의 "한국관" 설계안을 중심으로)

  • This study aims at clarifying the circumstances under which the Korean Pavilion was constructed at the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition, and major architectural features of the pavilion building, In particular, this thesis studies the construction history of the Korean Pavilion newly developed by Comte de Mimerel on the part of France following the sudden death of Baron Delort de Gleon during the construction of the Korean Pavilion, as well as architectural features of the draft design. The Korean Pavilion designed by Comte de Mimerel completely reproduces Keunjeongjeon of Gyeongbok Palace, faithfully complying with the then design tendency of the exposition. Mr. Young Chan Min, the Vice Chairman of the Seoul Organization Committee, positively participated in the construction process, and traditional carpenters in Chosun, together with Mr. Young Chan Min, were dispatched to Paris to engage in the construction of the pavilion building. This is substantially in contrast to the earlier design. According to the analysis in this study, although the Korean Pavilion designed by Comte de Mimerel was primarily built with the fund of the French Government and under the French architectural system, as a result of the Korean Government's positive participation in the construction process, it was decided to use Geunjeongjeon, the symbol of Chosun, as a model of the pavilion, and therefore, the Korean Pavilion was recognized by the Europeans as a monument of complex and sophisticated civilization. Furthermore, commercial and colonialistic expressions, which were found in the earlier plan, are rarely found in the Korean Pavilion designed by Comte de Mimerel, and we can see that this is the result of the attempt to fully reproduce Geunjeongjeon, the major building of the Chosun royal court, in building the Korean Pavilion.
