The prestressed concrete (PSC) technology that was first developed by Freyssinet has significantly improved over the past century in terms of materials and structural design in order to build longer, slender, and more economic structures. The application of prestressing method in structures, which is determined by the pre-tension or post-tension processes, is also affected by the surrounding conditions such as the construction site, workforce skills, and local transportation regulations. This study proposes a prestressed concrete girder design based on a hybrid segment concept. The adopted approach combines both pre-tension and post-tension methods along a simple span bridge girder. The girder was designed using newly developed 2400 MPa PS strands and 60 MPa high-strength concrete. The new concept and high strength materials allowed longer span, lower girder depth, less materials, and slender design without affecting the lateral stability of the girder. In order to validate the applicability of the proposed hybrid prestressed segments girder, a full-scale 35 m girder was fabricated, and experimental tests were performed under various fatigue and static loading conditions. The experimental results confirmed the feasibility of the proposed long-span girder as its performance meets the railway girder standards. In addition, the comparison between the measured load-displacement curve and the simulation results indicate that simulation analysis can predict the behavior of hybrid segments girders.

A study on fire phenomena in a subway transit mass station has been carried out as a part of disaster prevention plan at the subway station. The ventilation facilities installed in both the platform and the trackway are designed to convert into a smoke exhaust system in emergency situation, creating such an environment as necessary for evacuation. 3 dimensional Numerical Simulations based on the CFD are carried out using a simulation tool, Fire Dynamic Simulator. Additionally, four different vent modes are made and performances are compared with the original design mode and each other to find better operation of vents at both the platform and the trackway in case of fire. From the result, an vent operational characteristics under the condition of installed PSD is clarified for the effective smoke and heat removal from the platform area compared with non installed PSD.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify family stress, somatization, social support, depression and its influencing factor among middle-aged workers. Methods: The research was cross-sectional descriptive study. The subjects were 212 middle-aged workers living in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Data collection was done from May 21 to 31, 2015 using self-reported structured questionnaires asking about general characteristics, family stress, somatization, social support and depression. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 19.0 program. Results: Mean score of family stress was 41.67 (range: 25~125), somatization 17.42 (range: 12~60), social support 69.79 (range: 12~84) and depression 13.01 (range: 0~60) and reported as depression in 34.0%. Social support (${\beta}=-.36$, p<.001), somatization (${\beta}=.28$, p<.001), family stress (${\beta}=.15$, p=.014) had significant association with depression and the most important variable was social support. Conclusion: It is suggested to check social support system in middle aged workers and needed to reinforce social support of community based on the relation of occupational category. Also, it is necessary to legalize the institutional devices to prevent and control depression to ensure industrial safety and disaster prevention.

In this paper, we propose adaptive convergence security policies and management technologies to improve security assurance in the home networking environment. Many security issues may arise in the home networking environment. Examples of such security issues include the user privacy, the service security, the integrated networking security, the middleware security and the device failure. All these security issues, however, should be fulfilled in phase due to many difficulties including deployment cost and technical complexity. For instance, fundamental security requirements such as authentication, access control and prevention of crime and disaster should be addressed first. Then, supplementary security policies and diverse security management technologies should be fulfilled. In this paper, we classify these requirements into three categories, a service authentication, a user authentication and a device authentication, and propose security policies and management technologies for each requirement. Since the home gateway is responsible for interconnection of many home devices and external network access, a variety of context information could be collected from such devices.

홍수범람 또는 피해에 의해 발생한 인명피해 및 재산손실과 이를 치유하기 위해 구호 복구에 들어가는 노력 등 수해가 가져오는 여러 가지 사회경제적 역기능은 홍수의 특성을 정확하게 이해하고 이를 예방하기 위한 적절한 계획수립 및 시행을 포함하는 과학적인 홍수분석시스템을 도입해서 홍수를 사전에 예방하거나 경감할 수 있는 수방대책을 수립하는 것이 방안이 될 수 있다. 우리나라의 하천에 대한 홍수재해특성은 체계적인 하천정비의 미비, 하천제방, 호안시설의 붕괴 및 유실 등이 있을수 있으며, 또한 저수지 소류지 보 등의 파제가 홍수시 잦은 발생을 초래하고 있다. 하천부속시설물(수문, 갑문, 방수구 등)의 기능 및 제방과의 접속부실은 최근에 많이 발생하는 하천의 피해양상이 된다. 하천유역관리 및 방제의 비구조물적인 요인으로는 하천유역의 개발에 의한 유출요인의 증대가 있으며, 하천연안 저지대의 난개발로 인한 상습침수 지역조장 등이 요인이 될 수 있다. 또한 소하천, 지방하천 및 국가하천의 분리관리로 인한 일관성있는 하천관리가 미비한 점도 있다. 항상 피해가 발생한 후 원상복구에 치중하는 복구계획과 환경단체 및 방제조직 그리고 제도 및 법규의 미비도 홍수재해의 원인이 될 수 있다. 우리나라는 지역특성 및 강우특성에 따라 많은 차이를 나타내기 때문에 그 특성에 적합한 홍수재해대응시스템을 구축해야 하는 것도 충분히 고려해야 한다.

It has been determined that two-way evacuation routes that connect houses to evacuation sites should be developed to protect residents of historic preservation areas from future disasters. These routes are required because traditional buildings and other historic spatial elements are located close to each other. It is important to understand residents' perceptions of evacuation routes that connect their houses to temporary safe places to develop evacuation system strategies that include effective two-way evacuation routes. This paper describes a procedure used to construct a two-way evacuation route database designed to preserve two study areas that was based on an interview survey conducted with area residents. The resulting database contained residents' perceptions of evacuation routes. The database contains categorized spatial problems related to these routes that can be used for future research.

Works for dam heightening plan have dual purposes: flood disaster prevention by securing additional storage volume and river ecosystem conservation by supplying stream maintenance flow. Now, the dam heightening project is in progress and there are 93 dam heightened reservoir. After the dam heightening project, 2.2 hundred million ton of flood control volume in reservoirs will be secured. Thus it is necessary to evaluate the effects of the dam heightening project on watershed hydrology and stream hydraulics, and resulting flood damages. This study was aimed to assess the impact of outflow from the dam heightened reservoir group on the Whangryong river design flood. The HEC-HMS (Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling System) model was used for estimating flood discharge, while HEC-5 (Hydrologic Engineering Center-5) was used for reservoir routing. This study analysed flood reduction effect on 100yr and 200yr return periods about the before and after heightening of agricultural dams. Based on the results of this study, the reduction of flood peak discharge at downstream of the reservoir group was estimated to be about 41% and 53% for 100yr and 200yr frequencies, respectively.
