절토비탈면에서 발생되는 낙석에 대한 안정성을 확보하기 위해 설치되는 낙석방지 울타리는 기본적으로 12.5m 높이에서 400kg인 암괴가 낙하될 때 발생되는 50kJ의 충격에너지를 가정하여 설계되고 있다. 그러나 암괴의 크기가 커지거나 높이가 높은 곳에서 낙하하는 경우에는 기존의 낙석방지울타리로는 안정성 확보가 어려운 실정이다. 본 논문은 낙석해석프로그램을 이용하여 암괴중량에 따른 비탈면 높이, 울타리와의 이격거리, 경사각 등의 변화를 주어 낙석에 대한 안정성 분석을 실시하여 보았다. 해석결과 기존의 2.5m 높이의 낙석방지울타리는 설계하중 조건인 400kg 암괴가 낙석 될 때, 비탈면 높이가 20m 이내의 일부를 제외하고 대부분 낙석에 대해 안정성이 확보될 수 있으나, 20m 이상인 경우 낙석의 튀는 높이가 낙석방지울타리를 넘는 경우가 빈번하고 낙석의 충격에너지도 설계충격에너지 이상인 경우가 발생되는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 그러므로 낙석방지울타리의 설계 시 표준도에 준하여 설계하는 방식보다 지반조건에 따른 낙석의 안정성 검토를 실시한 후에 낙석 도약높이 및 충격에너지를 평가하여 낙석방지울타리를 설계하는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단된다.

The emergency response modeling system CARIS has been developed at CCSM (Center for Chemical Safety Management), NIER (National Institute of Environmental Research) to track and predict dispersion of hazardous chemicals for the environmental decision support in case of accidents at chemical or petroleum companies in Korea. The main objective of CARIS is to support making decision by rapidly providing the key information on the efficient emergency response of hazardous chemical accidents for effective approaches to risk management. In particular, the integrated modeling system in CARIS consisting of a real-time numerical weather forecasting model and air pollution dispersion model is supplemented for the diffusion forecasts of hazardous chemicals, covering a wide range of scales and applications for atmospheric information. In this paper, we introduced the overview of components of CARIS and described the operational modeling system and its configurations of coupling/integration in CARIS. Some examples of the operational modeling system is presented and discussed for the real-time risk assessments of hazardous chemicals.

본 연구는 울산석유화학공단 내 A사의 암모니아 탱크 안전장치를 대상으로 진행하였다. 탱크는 실린더 형태이며, 1972년에 프로필렌을 저장하기 위해 설계되었다. 그 후 시장환경에 따른 생산계획 변경으로 인해 탱크의 용도가 암모니아 저장으로 변경되었다. 저장 물질을 변경하는 과정에서 안전성을 검토했던 어떠한 과학적인 정보나 검토 자료를 찾을 수가 없었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 현재 안전하게 운전되고 있는지를 확인하기 위해 탱크의 상태를 조사하였다. 또한, 현재 설치되어 운영되고 있는 두 개의 안전장치 암모니아 흡수 시스템 및 Water curtain이 어느 정도 사고의 영향을 경감하는지 분석하였다. 마지막으로, 비상대응계획 작성에 활용하기 위한 CA(consequence analysis)를 수행하였다. 그 결과 사고의 영향을 효율적으로 완화할 수 있도록 안전장치가 설치되어 있음을 확인하였으며, 암모니아 누출 시 긴급대응에 필요한 시간을 제시할 수 있었다.

This study investigated the effect of water retention characteristics between aged and fresh Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) on the stability of the landfill. A series of transient numerical modeling for the slope of an MSW landfill was performed considering the variation of water retention characteristics due to leachate circulation. Four different scenarios were considered in this analysis depending on how to obtain hydraulic conductivity and the aging degree of materials. Unsaturated hydraulic properties of the MSW used for the modeling were evaluated through modified hanging column tests. Different water retention properties and various landfill conditions, such as subgrade stiffness, leachate injection frequency, and gas and leachate collection system, were considered to investigate the pore water distribution and slope stability. The stability analyses related to the factor of safety showed that unsaturated properties under those varied conditions significantly impacted the slope stability, where the factor of safety decreased, ranging between 9.4 and 22%. The aged materials resulted in a higher factor of safety than fresh materials; however, after 1000 days, the factor of safety decreased by around 10.6% due to pore pressure buildup. The analysis results indicated that using fresh materials yielded higher factor of safety values. The landfill subgrade was found to have a significant impact on the factor of safety, which resulted in an average of 34% lower factor of safety in soft subgrades. The results also revealed that a failed leachate collection system (e.g., clogging) could result in landfill failure (factor of safety < 1) after around 298 days, while the leachate recirculation frequency has no critical impact on stability. In addition, the accumulation of gas pressure within the waste body resulted in factor of safety reductions as high as 24%. It is essential to consider factors related to the unsaturated hydraulic properties in designing a landfill to prevent landfill instability.

Providing safety training to construction workers is essential to reduce safety accidents at the construction site. With the prosperity of visualization technologies, Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) has been adopted for construction safety training by providing interactive learning experiences in a virtual environment. Previous research efforts on IVR-based training have found that the level of fidelity of interaction between real and virtual worlds is one of the important factors contributing to the sense of presence that would affect training performance. Various interactive devices that link activities between real and virtual worlds have been applied in IVR-based training, ranging from existing computer input devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.) to specially designed devices such as high-end VR simulators. However, the need for high-fidelity interactive devices may hinder the applicability of IVR-based training as they would be more expensive than IVR headsets. In this regard, this study aims to understand the impact of the level of fidelity of interactive devices in the sense of presence in a virtual environment and the training performance during IVR-based forklift safety training. We conducted a comparative study by recruiting sixty participants, splitting them into two groups, and then providing different interactive devices such as a keyboard for a low fidelity group and a steering wheel and pedals for a high-fidelity group. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the sense of presence and task performance. These results indicate that the use of low-fidelity interactive devices would be acceptable for IVR-based safety training as safety training focuses on delivering safety knowledge, and thus would be different from skill transferring training that may need more realistic interaction between real and virtual worlds.

Considering that previous works on safety behavior relatively have not paid adequate attention to the influence of various leadership styles on safety behavior. The current paper investigates the impact of authentic leadership on safety behavior and its intermediating mechanisms. In specific, this paper delves into the mediating effect of job stress, as well as the moderating effect of perspective taking ability of employees in the association between authentic leadership and job stress. The results demonstrated that that authentic leadership has a negative (-) influence on job stress, which has a negative (-) influence on safety behavior. Moreover, job stress mediated the association between authentic leadership and safety behavior. Furthermore, perspective taking moderated the authentic leadership-safety behavior link.

Precision of theoretical group velocity of waves in shell structures was discussed for the purpose of source localization of loose parts impact in pressure vessels of nuclear power plants. Estimating exact location of loose parts impact inside a reactor or a steam generator is very important in safety management of a NPP. Evaluation of correct propagation velocity of impact signals in pressure vessels, most of which are shell structures, is essential in impact source localization. Theoretical group velocities of impact signals in a plate and a shell were calculated by wave equations and compared to the velocities measured experimentally in a plate specimen and a scale model of a nuclear reactor. The wave equation applicable to source localization algorithm in shell structures was chosen by the study.

Occupant protection in the side impact of a car became one of the most important issues of car crashworthiness due to high injury level in a side impact crash. An accurate simulation of the side impact crash is an essential tool for the reduction of development time and cost for side impact safety system. This paper describes a new test methodology that can accurately generate the crash pulses of a vehicle and a door in a very cost-effective manner, and then evaluates the injury values of the dummy for the various sled pulses. This test methodology is simple and easy to approach because the door velocity is controlled by the hydraulic actuator and brake and the seat velocity is only adjusted by the friction force of the hydraulic brake. The superiority of the proposed test methodology is proven by the evaluation of dummy's injury values according to the change of the pressure of the hydraulic brake and by the application as a tool for the development of side airbag.

Acceleration signal characteristics of a steel plate, impacted by steel balls, were studied in an attempt to apply the experimental results to the impact location and mass estimation of metallic loose parts in the cooling system of nuclear power plants. Experimental results show that the variation of maximum acceleration amplitude and impact contact time due to the change of ball mass and impact velocity can be well explained by the Hertz impact theory. The frequency spectral pattern shifted slightly in spite of the increase of impact velocity and impact location. Ball mass, however, strongly affected the frequency spectral pattern. Hence the frequency spectrum can be used for estimation of the mass of unknown loose parts in the cooling system.
