Presently, there is no legal regulation pertaining to the installation, maintenance, management and operation of fire-fighting facilities in single housing in Korea, relying instead on the awareness of the residents which hopefully will prevent fire. Likewise, accident prevention effort is very limiting and weak. Accordingly, this research examines current situation in which fire results, identifies root causes and studies application of regulations and develop design measures centered on the single housing that is most afflicted with fire. As part of the measure to prevent fire that afflict housing, it is necessary to classify single housing as specific target for fire fighting just like the joint housing among the types of the building structures that are classified according to the usage on the "Appendix Chart I of the Enforcement Ordinance of the Construction Law" for management purpose. Moreover, it is necessary to make the installation of fire-fighting facilities such as simple sprinkler facility for residential area, fire extinguisher, warning system and others for the sake of the senior citizens and disabled people who reside in single housing, mandatory.

Recently, people in cities of developed countries are exposed to unfortified damages of crime and disaster due to urbanization, industrialization and information-oriented era caused by congestion of population in terms of hardware and various social pathology phenomena and frequent and large scale of disaster caused by crime and disorder, which occur in the course of going through nuclear family, a gap between rich and poor and aging society in terms of software. In this regard, demand for security upon individual life and property has been increased but the police that are responsible for the public security does not effectively reduce damage in life and property because their activities are mainly oriented in coping with security accidents more than prevention. Shortage of manpower and budget, retarded equipment, and heavy overwork are the reasons. In order to confront with this kind of situation, we should utilize CCTV system with the purpose of declining possible chances of crime, not for eliminating cause of crime as crime prevention activities to predict danger in advance as a way of prevention and we may expect a role of damage prevention by installing CCTV in places where security accident may possibly happen. In conclusion, there are invasion of privacy, misuse of the system, insufficiency of overall monitoring office management, lack of citizens' understanding and economical allotment of the system installation costs in installation of CCTV system. However. it is necessary to install the CCTV system for effective prevention of crime and prevention activities of security accidents and accurate PR of purposes of installing CCTV to local residents, establishing relevant laws about system misuse, allotment of equipment costs and fees by R&D of the system machinery, cost reduction method of storage, management and replacement, saving costs from co-operative attitude of government, and local autonomous entities and local residents should be involved.

During the last few years, the use of Pre-tensioned spun High strength Concrete(PHC) pile has been gradually increased in many construction sites such as super high-rise and large building construction. there is almost no specific code and/or standard described in the specifications to check verticality for Pre-tensioned Spun High Strength Concrete pile installation process. The most commonly used method for the vortical PHC pile installation is a naked-eye measurement or water level measurement conducted by assistant crew in the construction sites. And recent analysis results of the pile cutting work revealed that it frequently makes a lot of cracks which significantly reduce the strength of the pile and is very labor intensive work, thus requiring a large amount of additional time, costs, and efforts. The main objective of the research is to analize problems and to improvement. measure of PHC Pile Construction. The improvement measure present to the main problem with survey and discussion.

Building use classification is classified the building types according to the similar structure, the goal of the use, and its shape. The important reason of building use classification is that building restrictions are applied according to building use classifications. But there are a lot of confusion because the building use classification is regulated not only by the Building Act but also by the several individual Act. Particularly in the large-scaled, high-raised and complex building construction, it is very important to remain the consistency of the building use classification between the Building Act and the Fire-Fighting System Act for safety of occupants. So the purpose of this study is to suggests the improve direction of the building use classifications through the comparative analysis of the Building Act and the Fire-Fighting System Act.

The installation of lightning protection system has recently been increasing, but the amount of damage has still been increasing. In this study, survey (interview) and field conditions were conducted to identify the installation and safety standards of the lightning protection system. it was analyzed that the safety management system is non-existent at the stage of the design, manufacturing and construction of the site lightning protection system, and that the safety inspection of the lightning protection facility is not properly managed. It has been shown that lightning protection systems, that can solve these problems, need to be re-established according to the reality so that safety inspection can be carried out in accordance with safety standards such as management of safety certification products, operation of survey institutions, design, manufacturing, and construction of safety standards at a national level.

Urban floods are usually caused by the lack of drainage capacity. Hence, sewer capacity expansion methodology by replacing small pipes with bigger ones is primarily applied as a flood control measure. However, this approach is often unreasonable because of the costs and time involved. Thus, the installation of underground rainwater storage tanks with the two advantages of flood control and water conservation is proposed. This study compared the effectiveness of flood control by both the sewer expansion methodology and rainwater storage tanks using the Storm Water Management Model. Three cases were simulated in this study. The first case analyzed flood reduction by the storm sewer expansion methodology. The simulation results indicate that the overflow volume from manholes was reduced by 49% with this methodology. The second case analyzed flood reduction by installation of rainwater storage tanks. The simulation results indicate that the overflow volume was reduced by 62%. However, these two cases could not prevent urban floods completely. Hence, the third case analyzed the joint application of the storm sewer expansion methodology and rainwater storage tanks. In this simulation, flooding did not occur. Consequently, the results of this study clearly show that underground rainwater storage tanks are more effective for flood control than capacity expansion of storm sewer. Furthermore, the joint application of these two flood control measures is more effective than their separate application.

Recently, the government has shown a decrease in disaster accidents throughout the industry and construction industry due to various efforts to reduce disasters. However, the fall accidents in the construction industry are not decreasing but increasing. In particular, the fall accident caused by scaffolding is low each year, but the disaster intensity is very high in that it directly leads to the death of workers. Scaffolding working environment in domestic construction industry is very poor. Moreover, scaffold workers in small construction sites are not subject to safety oversight and control. Therefore, this study is the installation and non-installation of the vertical lifeline, which is the most fundamental problem to be prevented during the study, to prevent the fall of the moon scaffold. In addition, it is hoped that it will be a solution for preventing accidents in construction site construction through the identification of various causes of disasters such as rope loosening, rope breaking, and fixed point failure.

In order to improve the economics and flexibility of cloud computing, tendency to automate the operation and management of cloud resources has become complicated. However, while automation for cloud storage depends on the manufacturer's storage hardware, it cannot flexibly support the storage type in accordance with users' needs. In this paper, we propose an automatic configuration module that supports block/file/object storages suitable for user environment. In order to automatically install ceph, a cloud storage, we propose an automatic installation and configuration module based on the Chef configuration management tool. In addition to that, we also propose an automatic configuration module based on a shell programming in pursuit of enabling users to use ceph storage of block/file/object. The proposed method can automatically set up and manage shared file, block, and object storages in a virtual or physical user environment with no hardware dependencies.

Specification is an important document for securing safe construction and improving quality as well as the contract document. Currently, the specifications used in modular buildings in Korea are only the construction specification, and most of the contents are used by borrowing the standard specifications of the building, so the contents of the modular buildings can not be reflected and it is contents are similar to the guideline book. The current status of domestic specification for modular buildings is affecting the quality of modular buildings. Therefore, we analyze activity through monitoring the modular process of modular buildings and analyze systematically relationship by applying IDEF modeling with analyzed activity. As result this paper proposes a structure of special specification specialized in modular building through generalization. The major classifications were divided into three stages : factory construction, transportation, and on-site installation. The specification structure was divided into 32 types of construction items from the floor slab assembly of the factory production to the joint finish of the on site installation in accordance with the opinion of experts.
