In this study, algorithms for analyzing the torsion of buildings under earthquake excitation are developed. The algorithm and formulations to account for the torsional angle are verified by analyzing the seismic acceleration time history data. The method was applied to the reference buildings to examine their operation and usability. The reference application demonstrated that the noise-canceling scheme successfully overcame various obstacles in the field measurements. The developed method is expected to be used as a tool to support a loss assessment system for determining the direction and priority of disaster response in the event of an earthquake.

Crane is an important equipment for the transport of heavy goods in industrial sites, but it is also known as one of the most fatal machines. In order to reduce crane accidents, it is necessary to minimize human errors during crane operations. To achieve this, ergonomic design principles are recommended to be reflected from the crane design stage. The study analyzed the safety certification standards for crane that should be fulfilled at the crane design and manufacturing stage. This study selected five representative ergonomic design principles (feedback, compatibility, consistency, full-proof, and fail-safe) by surveying heuristic evaluation principles that are widely used for usability evaluation in early design stage. Next, the principles were applied to the safety certification standards to identify insufficient clauses. This study identified 12 insufficient clauses out of 119 in the current safety certification standards for crane and discussed their improvement directions to comply the ergonomic principles. The analysis results of this study can help of improving the safety certification standards and the method used in this study can also be applied to identify insufficient clauses in the safety certification standards for other industrial machines such as press machine and lift.

최근 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화에 따라 과거와는 다른 양상의 기상 변화가 발생하고 있으며, 해수 온도 상승으로 태풍의 대형화와 강도증가가 발생하고 있다. 이에 따라 선박이 접안 중 갑작스러운 돌풍 발생시 선박의 계류안전성 확보를 위해 사용할 수 있는 돌풍 대비용 직주의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 항만 및 어항 설계기준상 곡주 및 직주 배치 기준을 분석하고 계류안전성 평가 프로그램을 사용하여 12개 시나리오에 따른 직주 사용시 계류안전성 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 평가 결과, 돌풍 대비용 직주에 선수 및 선미 브레스트라인을 추가하였을 경우, 일반적인 형태의 계류라인 배치에 비해 계류요소값이 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과 는 접안선박 및 항만의 특성을 고려한 돌풍 대비용 직주 배치를 제안하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 부두에서 직주의 배치는 돌풍 발생시 선박운항자 측면에서 선박의 계류안전성을 확보하기 위한 효율적인 방안이 될 것으로 사료된다.

국내 연안의 카페리선박의 고박안전성은 화물의 중량과 적재된 위치에서 발생할 수 있는 선체가속도를 기반으로 한 작용 외력과 고박장치의 고박력 비교를 통해 평가하고 있다. 고박안전성 평가에 기본이 되는 국내 기준상의 선체가속도는 선박의 특성 및 항해조건 의 반영이 없이 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 연안 카페리선박의 선체가속도를 분석하고자 부산-제주를 통항하는 DWT 6,800톤급 선속 15.5 knots의 선박을 기준으로 선체의 4개 지점에서 총 12회의 가속도 계측을 수행하였고, 항해구역 인근 기상관측 부이의 데이터를 수집하였다. 한정된 계측 결과에 대한 이론적 비교 분석을 위하여 수치 시뮬레이션을 통하여 주파수 응답 해석을 통한 RAO를 해석하였고, RAO 결과를 바탕으로 4개 지점에 대한 가속도 해석을 수행하였다. 가속도 비교 결과 위치별 정도의 차이는 있으나 Y축 가속도의 경우 해석 1.81 m/s2, 계측 1.47 m/s2로 해석 시뮬레이션 결과가 0.34 m/s2 높게 분석되었고, 고박안전성 평가기준 8.59m/s2와 비교해 볼 때 해석은 22 % 수 준, 계측은 18 % 수준으로 분석되었다.

The fourth industrial revolution encourages manufacturing industry to pursue a new paradigm shift to meet customers' diverse demands by managing the production process efficiently. However, it is not easy to manage efficiently a variety of tasks of all the processes including materials management, production management, process control, sales management, and inventory management. Especially, to set up an efficient production schedule and maintain appropriate inventory is crucial for tailored response to customers' needs. This paper deals with the optimized inventory policy in a steel company that produces granule products under supply contracts of three targeted on-time delivery rates. For efficient inventory management, products are classified into three groups A, B and C, and three differentiated production cycles and safety factors are assumed for the targeted on-time delivery rates of the groups. To derive the optimized inventory policy, we experimented eight cases of combined safety stock and data analysis methods in terms of key performance metrics such as mean inventory level and sold-out rate. Through simulation experiments based on real data we find that the proposed optimized inventory policy reduces inventory level by about 9%, and increases surplus production capacity rate, which is usually used for the production of products in Group C, from 43.4% to 46.3%, compared with the existing inventory policy.

As the duty to report and investigate major elevator failures has expanded due to the total amendment of the Elevator Safety Management Act in 2018, more important information on major elevator failures that have been partially identified has been collected. As of 2019, the number of elevators in Korea exceeded 700,000, making it the eighth-class elevator powerhouse in the world, but there is a trend of increasing casualties due to accidents and breakdowns. An Seung-gang-gi is a term that encompasses an elevator that moves vertically and an escalator that moves horizontally. It is an important means of transportation for most citizens that are encountered almost every day in daily life, and it is also necessary as a means of transportation that enables the construction of skyscrapers. And it seems that its importance will never diminish in the future. Major elevator failures are the main cause of dispatch when accumulating the number of 119 dispatches, and the frequency of occurrence is high. It's a shame. According to Heinrich's Law, 300 minor signs and danger phenomena precede, 29 minor accidents and 1 major accident. Accidents caused by elevators are increasing every year due to the increase in the number of installations, and the damage is threatening the valuable lives and property of users and workers in related fields due to fatal risks such as death and serious injury. Elevator safety management can achieve its purpose only when it is managed with the usual interests, awareness of safety, and full efforts of the users, workers, and the government concerned. This study was analyzed based on 2019 data notified to the Korea Elevator Safety Agency on major breakdowns improved after the revision of the Elevator Safety Management Act in 2018, and a total of 8,256 data were analyzed using the SPSS 21 version, a statistical analysis tool, to analyze the correlation with technical statistics. Proceeded. Through the analysis, it was possible to obtain preventive safety management data to prevent serious elevator safety accidents from occurring, and to derive meaningful implications that related safety management and maintenance can be effectively operated to prevent serious failures. In addition, through this analysis, we expect the development of related industries and legal and institutional improvement.

This study analyzed the evacuation time in indoor stadiums when exits that automatically open/close when the fire sensor is triggered are installed as a means to improve the problem of closing certain exits. Firstly, when spectators on the 2nd floor stands exit through the 1st floor exits, the RSET of all inhabitants was 529.8 seconds when the automatic opening/closing exits are broken and employees are not present. Secondly, when spectators on the 2nd floor stands exit through the 1st floor exits, the RSET of all inhabitants was 445 seconds when the automatic opening/closing exits with 750mm width are working but employees are not present. Lastly, when spectators on the 2nd floor stands exit through the 1st floor exits, the RSET of all spectators was 337 seconds when the automatic opening/closing exits with 1,500mm width are working and employees are present. As a result, it was revealed that the evacuation time is shortened when the automatic opening/closing exits are working. Additional comparative studies with actual simulations of people evacuating an indoor stadium and firefighting simulations considering smoke flow are necessary.

Tomb of King Muryeong, located in Sonsan-ri, was found vulnerable due to leakages during since the summer of 2016. This research aims to evaluate structural safety of the Tomb under the tumulus. Site surveys were conducted to find vulnerable inner parts. Structural safety assessment is presented based on both site survey results and analytical results obtained through FEM analysis using the ANSYS program. The underground structure was explicitly modeled to focus on two types of loadings: design loads and actual gravity loads. In general, the tomb does not show any critical deflection increase or damage through the analytical investigation. However, maintenance through continuous monitoring is necessary to prevent severe deflections and stress concentrations since the rigidity of the tomb materials are very vulnerable and likely to be reduced due to prolonged weathering and continuous rain leakage.
