  • Prognostic characteristics of hypothetical tsunamis in the East Sea are further discussed based on numerical simulations using linear long wave theory than the last paper(Choi et al). As for choice of source zones, we used 28 cases based on fault parameters of hypothetical earthquakes and 76 cases based on simple initial surface shapes of tsunamigenic earthquakes selected by the seismic gap theory. As a result, the wave heights along the whole coastline adjacent to the East See of tsunamis due to these hypothetical earthquake are presented. Analyses also lead us to conclude that the selection of geographical zones with low risk of tsunamis can be used as a tool for coastal disaster mitigation planning.

  • Risk assessment is an important phase of risk management. It is the stage in which risk is measured thoroughly to achieve effective management. Some factors such as probability and impact of risk have been used in the literature related to construction projects. Because in high-rise projects safety issues are paramount, this study has tried to develop a quantifying technique that takes into account three factors: probability, impact and Safety Performance Index (SPI) where the SPI is defined as the capability of an appropriate response to reduce or limit the effect of an event after its occurrence with regard to safety pertaining to a project. Regarding risk-related literatures which cover an uncertain subject, the proposed method developed in this research is based on a fuzzy logic approach. This approach entails a questionnaire in which the subjectivity and vagueness of responses is dealt with by using triangular fuzzy numbers instead of linguistic terms. This method returns a Risk Critical Point (RCP) on a zoning chart that places risks under categories: critical, critical-probability, critical-impact, and non-critical. The high-rise project in the execution phase has been taken as a case study to confirm the applicability of the proposed method. The monitoring results showed that the RCP method has the inherent ability to be extended to subsequent applications in the phases of risk response and control.

  • Prognostic characteristics of hypothetical tsunamis in the East Sea are discussed based on numerical model simulations of linear long wave theory and wave ray for 28 source zones of tsunamigenic earthquake selected by the seismic gap theory. As a result, the propagation patterns of tsunamis due to hypothetical earthquake are presented and analyses also lead to selection of the geographical zones with low risk of tsunamis.

  • Geological hazards in landslide is one of the most extensive and destructive phenomena are among natural disasters. According to the topography high mountains, tectonic activity, high seismicity, diverse conditions Geology and climate, basically China to create a wide spectrum of landslides have natural conditions and these landslides are annual. They cause a lot of financial losses to the country. It is very difficult to predict the time of the landslide, hence the identification landslide sensitive areas and zoning of these areas based on the potential risk is very important. Therefore, it should be susceptible areas landslides should be identified in order to reduce damages caused by landslides find. the main purpose of landslide sensitivity analysis is identification high-risk areas and as a result, reducing damages caused by landslides It is the way of appropriate actions.

  • In previous studies on LPG siting in Korea, the scope have not included the probability of the secondary events of adjacent LPG tanks or structures from an explosion source. Therefore, it is essential to first identify the phenomenon which can be caused by BLEVE and then, properly assess their effects to each target including secondary event. In this study, we calculated the effects from a potential BLEVE of 15 ton LPG tank causing damages of storage tanks (LPG), structures and human using Phast ver. 6.7 and then suggested three risk zones (Zone I, II, III) assuming the consequences such as overpressure, heat radiation and missile effect by fragments. Zone I and II are divided at the line of 50% occurrence of the secondary event. Zone II and III are divided by Individual Risk(IR). The zone approach in this study can be used for more effective and safer Land Use Planning (LUP) for the future.

  • The Primary Purpose of this study is to evaluate transportation conditions (including parking space shortage problem) of the old single house district and to derive some policy implications for living environment improvement policy. For these purposes, data were collected from field survey and questionaire survey. The main findings are follows. Residents are discontent about building structure, old house, high risk of traffic accident in the housing district and parking space shortage. The living environment of the old single house district is further degraded by mix of commercial and business functions in the residential area. Based on these findings, we suggest that the introduction of resident-first parking zones, restriction of use of facilities with more detail division of use than current zoning system for improvement of living environment.

  • The seismic design recommendations of the Jordan Code for Loads and Forces (JC) are evaluated, based on comparisons with analytical studies and the Uniform Building Code. It was established that the overall safety ensured by the implementation of these recommendations is not consistent with the established seismic risk in Jordan and the intended objectives of the code. A new zoning map is proposed with effective peak ground acceleration values. The different period formulae of the code were studied and were found to grossly underestimate the fundamental period when compared with analytically derived values or other codes' formulae. Other factors including the dynamic, soil, importance and behavior factors are discussed. It was determined that the JC's lateral load distribution formulae clearly lead to smaller internal forces than both dynamic analysis and UBC loads, even when those loads are normalized to give the same base shear. The main reason for this is attributed to the limited allowance for a backlash force in the JC.

  • Purpose: After Mers breakout in 2015, major hospital in Korea have been renovated the emergency department to make a separate infection control zone for high-risk patient with potential infection and to improve a triage area and an entrance area for efficient patient evaluation. However, there are no specific design standards to reinforce infection control for patients and staffs safety. Therefore, it is important to establish of initial design factors in the triage and entrance area as a guideline. Methods: 5 cases which had been recently renovated are selected to analyze patient circulation and spatial composition in a triage area and an entrance area. The partial floor plans of each case are represented as bubble diagrams to help understanding of different patient circulation flows. Based on this analysis, significant design factors which should be considered in planning stage for infection control have been extracted. Results: 13 design factors are established. Using these design factors, patient circulation diagram is generated to provide an optimized suggestion for efficient infection control. Implications: This suggestion provides basic databases to start to establish design guideline in the triage area and the entrance area to minimize infection spreading in the emergency department.

  • 기후변화의 영향으로 개발밀도가 높은 도시지역은 호우로 인한 피해가 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 최근, 극한 호우에 의해 발생되는 도시침수의 피해를 저감하기 위해 시설물 대책에만 의존하기 보다는 지자체가 수립하는 공간계획을 통해 토지이용, 건축물 등을 아우르는 종합적인 예방전략 마련이 강조되고 있다. 하지만 지자체 도시계획 담당자가 기후변화를 고려해 방재대책을 마련하는데는 국가 차원의 표준화된 방법론의 부재, 침수해석을 위한 전문적 지식이 요구되는 등의 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 지자체가 도시계획에 실효성 있는 방재대책을 마련하는데 직접적으로 활용할 수 있는 도시침수에 대한 상세 위험도 주제도를 개발하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 우선적으로 중장기적인 측면에서 기후변화의 영향과 도시지역의 유출 특성을 고려해 방재계획을 수립할 수 있는 강우 시나리오 기준으로 지속시간 1시간에 대한 재현빈도 30년과 100년을 제시하였다. 기후변화의 영향을 고려한 강우 시나리오 기준에 따라 도시지역 내 내수 외수의 침수발생 원인을 고려해 침수심 지도를 생성하고자 한다. 이를 위해 범용적으로 적용할 수 있는 침수해석 모형인 HEC-RAS와 SWMM을 선정하고, 공간적 제약이 없이 폭 넓게 적용할 수 있도록 모형의 구축 절차를 간소화한 방법을 제안하였다. 간소화된 침수해석 모형 결과를 토대로 강우 시나리오별 침수심 지도를 제작하고, 강우 시나리오와 침수심을 기준으로 위험정도에 따라 Red zone, Orange zone, Yellow zone, Green zone으로 영향권을 설정하였다. 실질적으로 각 영향권에 적합한 도시계획 차원에서의 방재대책 수립이 가능하도록 노출특성과 취약성 분석을 실시하였다. 노출특성은 영향권에 노출된 토지이용면적(m2)과 거주인구수(명)로 평가하고 취약성은 영향권 내 취약한 건축물 수(지하 또는 노후 건축물), 보호대상시설물 수로 평가하였다. 침수 발생이 예상되는 영향권별 노출특성과 취약성 분석 결과를 토대로 위험이 높은 지역(Red zone)은 공간규모를 축소해 상세 위험도 공간정보 주제도를 개발하였다. 또한 위험도가 높은 지역은 작은 공간 단위로 노출특성과 취약성을 분석해 상세 위험도 주제도를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 상세 위험도 공간정보는 지자체가 도시계획 수립단계에서 실질적인 방재대책을 강구하는데 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
