선박에서 호흡성 심정지가 발생하거나, 장시간 심폐소생술을 하는 경우, 가슴압박소생술이 아닌 구조호흡을 동반한 심폐소생 술이 요구된다. 이에 선박은 산소 공급을 위한 구조호흡 장비를 보유하고 선원들은 이를 사용할 수 있는 해기능력을 갖추어야 한다. 본 연구는 선박 내 구조호흡 장비 활용을 높이기 위하여, 선박의 구조호흡 장비 설치 현황과 선원의 사용의향을 분석하여 개선방안을 제시 하기 위한 조사연구이다. 2023년 2월 2일부터 4월 21일까지 진행하였으며, 총 340명을 대상으로 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS WIN 23.0 프로그램을 이용하여, 빈도와 백분율, 카이제곱 검정으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 직책에서 항해사와 선장, 근무부서에서 갑판부, 항해구역 에서 외항선 선원이 선박에서 구조호흡 장비를 많이 확인한 것으로 분석되었다. 선원의 구조호흡 장비에 사용의향은 낮았고, 주요 저해요 인은 사용방법을 모르는 것이었다. 연구대상자의 일반적 특성 중 직책이 항해사, 선장, 근무부서는 갑판부, 항해구역은 외항, 총톤수 2만 톤 이상인 경우, 구조호흡 장비에 대해 사용의향이 높았다. 그리고 구조호흡의 필요성을 알고, 실습과 장비 교육을 받은 선원이 구조호흡 장비 사용에 적극적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 모든 선박이 구조호흡 장비를 갖출 수 있도록 제도 마련이 되어야 하고, 선박 내에서 구 조호흡 장비에 대한 접근성을 높이는 환경조성이 필요하다. 또한 구조호흡 장비에 대한 실습과 장비 교육 기반의 교육체계를 구축하여 선원이 해기능력을 갖추도록 해야 한다.
The purpose of this study is to provide lessons learned in the experience of improvement work of fuel handling equipment at operating nuclear power plants. The upgrade of fuel handling equipment for safety enhancement and performance improvement has been going on for 15 years since the early 2000’s. The main goal is to increase fuel loading/unloading capability of the equipment from about 2.5 fuel assemblies per hour to more than six (6). It is achieved with sequential operations of three (3) fuel handling equipment, which consists of the refueling machine, the fuel transfer system and the spent fuel handling machine. The scope of the upgrade for fuel handling equipment is summarized as follows. The PC data control system based on PLC for interlocks and high speed motor drive system is introduced for better operating efficiency. The motors and drives for bridge, trolley, and hoist are replaced with AC servomotors and drivers, respectively. The fuel transfer system has an auto-initiation feature operating from the refueling machine or the spent fuel handling machine. The winch motor and drive for the carriage of fuel transfer system is also replaced with AC servomotors and drivers. And some of HPU (hydraulic power units) equipment for each building (reactor containment building and fuel handling building) are replaced to improve their function. The considerations for improvement of fuel handling equipment are as belows. 1) Fuel handling should be consistent with the instructions provided by the fuel designer and/or manufacturer, which are for Standard type fuel and Westinghouse type fuel, used in domestic nuclear power plants. Each fuel has unique design characteristics, which are PLC setpoints for overload and underload, slow speed zones for a bridge, trolley and hoist, allowable acceleration/deceleration value in handling, hoist elevation and manual speed in off-index operation at reactor. 2) The interlock system should be designed in accordance with design criteria specified by the utilities of nuclear power plant. 3) Performance should be improved according to the operating characteristics of the fuel handling equipment. High-speed and optimization of FTS upender and carriage are essential for operating performance so that its modification should be considered first. And the low speed and range in the operation mechanism of the hoist should be designed to comply with guidelines. 4) The accident analysis through self-diagnosis function and operation history in modification at domestic operating nuclear power plants would be good lessons learned. It is advisable to utilize such various information as it can help to improve reliability of nuclear fuel handling operation and power plant operation rate.
In advanced countries, various policies are being enforced to reduce equipment noise level at it’s source. This paper analyses the problems of domestic noise policies related to noisy equipment, and presents a plan for improving the implementation of expansion policy of low noise equipment based on this analysis.

This paper also suggests expanding the range of equipment to be supervised and using new noise label that has grades and shows detailed noise level of the equipment to improve environmental certification system. In addition, supplementing the construction permission system and supporting international certification system are offered to expand the use of low noise equipment.
Pilot Aptitude Research Equipment (PARE) is a simulator developed to measure or research pilot aptitude and train for student pilots. Design of an ergonomic PARE operation console is required to operate the equipment effectively. This study carried out five steps : (S1) operator questionnaire survey, (S2) anthropometric design formula development, (S3) usability evaluation, (S4) improvement design, and (S5) validation considering both Physical User Interface (PUI) and Graphic User Interface (GUI) of PARE operation console. The operator questionnaire surveyed needs for each PUI and GUI part of the console from two PARE actual operators. In terms of PUI, the anthropometric design formula was developed by using design variables, body dimensions, target population characteristics, and reference posture related to the PARE console. In terms of GUI, the usability evaluation was conducted by three usability testing experts with a 7-point scale (1 : very low, 4 : neutral, 7 : very high) on GUI of the PARE operation console by seven usability criteria. The improved PARE operation console was designed to reflect the optimal values of design variables calculated from design formula, the results from usability testing, and the operator’s needs. The improvement effect was observed by 20 people who had experience with the PARE operation console. As a result of the validation, monitor visibility and cockpit visibility for the improved PUI design and visibility and efficiency for the improved GUI design were significantly increased by more than 90% respectively. The improved design of the PARE operation console in this study can contribute to enhance operation performance of the PARE.
To ensure the safety and functionality of a railroad bridge, maintaining the integrity of the bridge via continuous structural health monitoring is important. However, most structural integrity monitoring methods proposed to date are based on modal responses which require the extracting process and have limited availability. In this paper, the applicability of the existing damage identification method based on free-vibration reponses to time-domain deflection shapes due to moving train load is investigated. Since the proposed method directly utilizes the time-domain responses of the structure due to the moving vehicles, the extracting process for modal responses can be avoided, and the applicability of structural health evaluation can be enhanced. The feasibility of the presented method is verified via a numerical example of a simple plate girder bridge.
Accompanied with the industrial development, and enlarging and heightening buildings, building equipments are also enlarging. These changes are serious to the cause of structure noises. The Floating Floor System which uses the soft foam polyurethane are becoming popular in construction areas for its short construction period and well vibration proof ability, hence it is becoming wide in the marketing volume. We were able to enhance the physical characteristics of the vibration proof polyurethane mat with this study. As a result, we were also able to secure material competitiveness by meeting the requirements of customer satisfaction through enhancement in estimated material lifetime and physical characteristics.
A number of plating companies have been exposed to the risk of fire due to unexpected temperature increasing of water or other reasons in a plating bath. Since the companies are not able to forecast the unexpected temperature increasing of plating bath and most of raw materials in the bath have low ignition temperature, it is easy to be exposed to the risk of fire. Thus, in previous study, we tried to monitor and notice the dangerous change of temperature of water immediately to prevent the risk of fire from plating process. However, unfortunately previous studies were not able to shut out the fundamental cause of fire since bath temperature sensor can detect air temperature when the level sensor was malfunctioned. In this paper we developed the Teflon heater which contains a built in temperature sensor and improved plating equipment system. Teflon heater is improved using Pt 100Ω sensor which can detect until 600°C . When the bath temperature sensor detects over 60°C or the Teflon heater sensor detects over 240°C they temporarily shut down the heater to control temperature. Also relay completely shuts down main power when detects instant temperature is detected over 5% of 240°C by the heater sensor to prevent teflon melting down and fire spreads. Developed plating equipment system can monitor a real time temperature in the teflon tube and bath water. Therefore we think the proposed plating equipment can eliminate the possibility of fire in plating processes fundamentally.

A fire sprinkler system is very important to extinguish fire in the building. The sprinkler system initiates sprinkler discharge if the detection system identifies a developing fire and opens the pre-action valve. However, pre-action fire sprinkler systems mainly installed in the underground parking lot at the apartment complex do not properly operate at fire if the connection type of fire sprinkler systems does not properly installed and operated. This study identified the relationship between fire dispersion & damage and the connection type of water supply in the sprinkler system from many fire cases at the apartment complex in South Korea. In addition, this study also identified the water supply differences and characteristics between South Korea and foreign countries. The main purpose of this study is also to improve the water connection types in the sprinkler system that can reduce the potential failures of pre-action valve operation through electrical signal system. The study also suggests the improvement plan for water connection types in pre-action fire sprinkler system that can minimize potential failure of pre-action fire sprinkler system. The suggestions for revising the fire safe standard in South Korea includes letting the water supply pipe of sprinkler system water inlet connect to the second side of pre-action valve and the water flow device that can minimize potential failure of sprinkler system.
