The conventional fault tree and reliability analysis gives in many cases insufficient information concerning the relative frequencies of hazard events. This stems from that the basic events are not stationary and ergodic, and therefore the tolerances of the induced and top events cannot be calculated reliably based on the classical probability theory. To overcome this difficulty, the paper considers the relative frequencies of the basic events as fuzzy numbers and uses instead of probability, possible considerations for evaluating the mean values and tolerances of the top events. The possibility distribution of the basic events can be approximated based on heuristic considerations. This paper shows the use of these operators for constructing fault trees. The use of the method for numerical calculation is demonstrated on a field safety problem.

The system and components for aircraft are required the design data on which the safety requirements are properly reflected for their certification. This paper presents the procedure and results of a safety assessments analysis for the rotorcraft fuel pumps in oder to confirm and verify them. The fuel pumps design assessment must be performed, including a detailed failure analysis to identify all failures that will prevent continued safe flight or safe landing. In order to assess the fuel pumps design safety, not only system safety hazard analysis and but FTA(Fault Tree Analysis) for proofing the safety objective of the fuel pumps are performed. The results of the safety assessment for fuel pumps validate that no single failure or malfunction could result in catastrophic failure or critical accidents of the rotorcraft.

This paper presents a set of typical pseudo-accident scenarios related to major equipments in petrochemical plants, which would be useful for performing such quantitative risk analysis techniques as fault tree analysis, event tree analysis, etc. These typical scenarios address what the main hazard of each equipment might be and how the accident might develop from an "initiating event". The proposed set of accident scenarios consists of total thirteen (13) scenarios specific for five (5) major equipments like reactor, distillation column, etc., and has been determined and screened out of one hundred and twenty-five (125) potential accident scenarios that were generated by performing semi-quantitative risk analysis practically for twenty-five (25) petrochemical processes, considering advices from the operation experts. It is assumed that with simple consideration or incorporation of plant-specific conditions only, the proposed accident scenarios could be easily reorganized or adapted for the relevant process with less time and labor by the safety engineers concerned in the petrochemical industries.ndustries.

STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis) is a widely used safety analysis technique to identify UCAs (Unsafe Control Actions) resulting in potential losses. It is totally dependent on the experience and ability of analysts to construct an information model called Control Structures, upon which analysts try to identify unsafe controls between system components. This paper proposes a formal approach to support the manual identification of UCAs, effectively and systematically. It allows analysts to mechanically extract Process Model, an important element that makes up the Control Structures, from a formal requirements specification for a software controller. It then concisely constructs the contents of Context Tables, from which analysts can identify all relevant UCAs effectively, using a software fault tree analysis technique. The case study with a preliminary version of a Korean nuclear reactor protections system shows the proposed approach's effectiveness and applicability.

Hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis is one of the safety analysis method that is used in the chemical complex, because it can systematically identify causes and consequences of all the deviation that could occur. Since this method needs to hire specialized experts, it is costly and time-consuming. Therefore HAZOP Expert System has been developed to automate this analysis. This approach introduced object-oriented method and knowledge representation which is hierarchical tree of units to supply flexibility in the system, functional semantic network, propagation equation and rule-chaining method to set up the expert system for automating HAZOP analysis.

A systematic methodology to determine safety requirements for railway signalling system and safety requirement allocation into system are presented. THR concept is used for as an interface between Risk Analysis to be performed by railway operator and System Design Analysis by the supplier. This approach is based on Signalling Safety Standard EN50129 by CENELEC.

도시하천의 관리와 계획에 있어 식수에 따른 수리학적 특성의 변화는 명확히 분석되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 도시하천의 식수기준을 분석하고, 도시하천의 고수부지내 식수가 가능한 지역을 표시한 식수허가지도 제작 방법을 검토하였다. 또한 식수에 따른 수리학적 영향을 준2차원 수치모형, HEC-RAS, FESWMS 모형을 활용하여 분석하였다 중랑천의 장안교부터 군자교까지의 구간을 대상으로 선정하여 100년 빈도 홍수량에 식수허가지도를 제작한 결과, 교목의 식수시에는 하천의 우안에 $0.5{\sim}1$본/ha 정도의 식수가 가능하였으며, 관목의 경우에는 좌안 및 우안의 중요수방구간을 제외한 지역에 식재가 가능하였다. 또한 관목의 식재에 따른 수리학적 영향은 약 12cm 정도의 수위상승 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서 대상구간에 식수에 따른 수위 상승은 적은 것으로 판단되므로 식수허가지도에 따라 식수가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The role of maintenance in railway is going to be extended to improve the reliability of railway system in the aspect of Asset management gradually. In this paper, the meaning of reliability and safety in RCM which has been applied in order to improve the efficiency of maintenance is deduced. And the analysis task of reliability and safely which has been recommended in railway standards such as EN50126 and IEC62278 is reviewed in the aspect of RCM. Finally, the several ways are proposed to apply RCM to railway system through the comparison between the RCM procedure and the analysis procedure for the reliability and safety in railway standards. Hereafter, if the analysis of reliability and safety is performed with the concept of RCM in the beginning of railway business, it will be more efficient to improve the reliability and manage the railway asset.

화학공장에서 발생되는 사고 중 대부분은 저장탱크나 운송배관의 손상에 의한 휘발성 유독성물질의 대량 누출이며, 이 경우 누출된 지역의 자연환경과 대기조건에 따른 유동성물질의 확산거동이 안전성평가의 가장 중요한 관심 대상이 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 누출물질에 대한 대기 중 확산을 모사하기 위하여 염소저장탱크에서 염소가 누출될 경우를 예제로 선택하여, 위험성평가와 확산모델(dense gas model)을 이용한 결과해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과를 살펴보면 Fire & Explosion Index를 적용한 결과 포괄적인 위험의 정도는 90.7로서 약간 위험한 정도로 나타났으며, 대기확산 모델(PHAST6.0/ALOHA)은 소프트웨어 운용한 결과, Gas Model에 대한 입력 자료 값에 따라 미치는 결과영향이 다소 차이가 있음을 발견하였으나 각 시나리오별 경향은 상당히 일치함을 나타내고 있다. 따라서 향후 보다 정확한 물성입력자료와 지형인자를 고려한다면 이와 같은 연구방법은 유독성물질 누출에 따른 위험성평가를 보다 효율적으로 수행하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.
