In order to improve the efficiency of the embedding organizational safety culture, the mechanism and methodology of the embedding organizational safety culture were researched by the literature analysis method and induction method. First of all, a definition of the embedding organizational safety culture was proposed, and its connotations were analyzed. Then, four basic issues of the embedding organizational safety culture (including basic objective, basic premise, basic principles and influencing factors) were abstracted and analyzed, and the nature of the embedding organizational safety culture was explained. Finally, an operation process model of the embedding organizational safety culture was created and analyzed, meanwhile, routes and their specific operation methods for the embedding organizational safety culture were discussed in detail. The results show that the main operation process of the embedding organizational safety culture includes five stages, such as a preparation stage (show), an apperceive stage (know) and a running-in stage (believe), and that there are seven routes for the embedding organizational safety culture, such as an education and inculcation route, a system guarantee route and an environment hint route.

In order to explore temporal and spatial variation rules of traffic load on a road network in a burst environment, the production-dissipation process of emergency was studied by using the scenario analysis method. Then, the road network was divided into 2 sections: normal link set and incident link set. A dynamic traffic assignment model was built for the former by using the discrete method. A approximate model of traffic load was built by using the Logistic curve with 3 parameters for the latter. The "reverse"solving strategy was used to transform the network into a reactive discrete control system. The Lan-Filler decomposition algorithm was adopted for finding the dynamic solution. The result shows that road network vulnerability index varies with the emergency's production-dissipation process dynamically, that compared with the traditional methods, using the dynamic vulnerability identification model based on Logistic curve can ensure road network's topology structure unchanged and correctly identify each link's vulnerability on road network.

In order to evaluate the rockburst intensity grade accurately and ensure safety of excavation engineering, a classification model based on MIV-MA-KELM was built. Firstly,the mechanism of rockburst occurrence was used to analyze the factors influencing the intensity grade and further determine the main evaluation indicators. Then,the MA was introduced to carry out an optimum selection of Kernel-based KELM parameters, and KELM was used to fit the nonlinear mapping relationship between the influencing factors and rockburst intensity. Finally, the MIV was used to calculate the weight of each indicator at 20% mediation rate, and indicators having a low weight were removed and the others were fed back to MA-KELM model for retraining and testing. According to the 68 sets of data from the Bayu tunnel, a series of comparative experiments were designed and carried out, and the model was applied to the prediction of rockburst intensity grade of Qinling Mountains tunnel. Experimental results show that the prediction results conform with the reality, and that the MIV-MA-KELM model can construct the indicators system more reasonably, and avoid local optimal solution, contributing to improving the classification accuracy.

The paper was aimed at exploring the influence of road spatial sight distance on the serious road traffic accidents. Firstly, a 3D model was built for the accident scene and the road shape data were restored according to the aerial image of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Then, a spatial sight distance computing method was worked out based on the 3D reconstruction model and the road shape restoration data. Next, an aerial survey data based spatial sight distance computing platform was built in Open Scene Graph(OSG). Finally, the method was used to analyzing a certain serious road accident which occurred in Guizhou in August 2016. The results show that the method worked out by the authors can be used to solve the spatial sight distance computing problems even if the road accessory facilities impacted the spatial sight distance, such as guardrail, signs and roadside landscape, impact the spatial sight distance, and road actual situation is inconsistent with the construction or as-built drawings.

For the shake of studying the spontaneous combustion temperature of upscale low rank coal piles, experiments were made by means of a constant temperature heating system and a gas detection and analysis system among others. Based on the Frank-Kamenetskii boundary condition theory and the critical self-ignition temperature analysis method, the internal temperature, effect of water evaporation and energy conversion of coal pile were described. Then, the relationships between ambient temperature, oxidizing gas and coal spontaneous combustion tendency were examined. The results show that the water content of coal pile is an important factor leading to the appearing of a decreasing stage in the self-heating curve, and the duration of temperature decreasing depends on the position of the measuring point in the coal pile, that there is a positive correlation between the concentrations of gases produced by the oxidation reaction and the coal temperature, that under the condition of non self-ignition, the strongest stage of oxidation is the later stage of temperature rising process, that both natural convection and low temperature oxidation result in the reduction of coal pile volume, that the higher the ambient temperature, the greater the reduction will be, and that the critical self-ignition temperature theory can be effectively applied to the prediction of large volume coal pile spontaneous combustion.

For the sake of improving the extinguishing efficiency of the dry powder, a new type of superfine dry powder was prepared with the magnesium hydroxide as additive. The thermal analysis instruments thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) were used to study the thermal decomposition processes. Through small-scale fire experiments, physical quantities of the extinguishing processes were obtained for suppressing diesel fires by different powders. The quantities were used to evaluate the extinguishing capability and the suppressing toxic gases ability of different powders. The results show that during the thermal decomposition process, magnesium hydroxide increases the peak decomposition rate of compound superfine powder and reduces the characteristic temperature in each stage, that in the fire-extinguishing process, magnesium hydroxide reduces the dosage of powder, shortens the extinguishing time, decreases the minimum fire extinguishing concentration (MEC), and effectively inhibits the production of toxic and harmful gases.

In order to explore the law of blasting vibration damage to slope in open-pit mine and improve its safety, an experimental study was carried out on the west slope of Zahanaoer open-pit mine in Huolinhe of Inner Mongolia taken as the research object. On the basis of the engineering geological survey, the slope damage degree by blasting load was quantified and a damage function on the slope blasting vibration was established by the comprehensive methods of theory analysis and mathematics calculation, then the slope destructive time was calculated and the most dangerous area was identified. Meanwhile, a slope geology model was built by using FLAC^3D finite element analysis software to analyze the slope blasting vibration damage degree. A comparison was made between the simulation results and the calculation results. The research results show that the slope damage degree is inversely proportional to the distance between the measuring point and the blasting center, and the slope damage degree experiences exponential attenuation with the increasing of blasting times, and that the slope becomes damaged after 11 consecutive blasting and the most dangerous area is 150-200 meters away from the initial blasting area.

In order to understand the explosion characteristics of sulfur dust, orthogonal experiments and single factor experiments were performed by using a 20 L spherical explosive device. Effects of the three factors including the dust mass concentration, ignition energy and particle size on the maximum explosion pressure (p_max)and maximum rate of explosion pressure rise((dp/dt)_max)of sulfur dust were studied. The software SPSS was used to conduct range analysis of experimental data and construct a regression model. The results show that p_max and (dp/dt)_max are positively correlated with the dust mass concentration and ignition energy, and negatively correlated with the particle size when the other conditions are constant, that for the three factors, the effect of dust mass concentration is stronger than that of ignition energy, and the effect of ignition energy is stronger than that of particle size, that the sulfur droplets formed in the process of the combustion of sulfur particles cannot burn completely in the 20 L spherical tank, and the effects of the particle size on p_max and (dp/dt)_max are also weakened. A higher ignition energy can counteract the adverse effect of sulfur droplets.

In order to prevent or control hydrogen explosions in the confined vessels, experiments were carried out by using a 20 L confined spherical vessel, and parameters of hydrogen-air explosion were measured, such as the maximum explosion pressure and the maximum rate of pressure rise at different initial low-pressures conditions(0.025-0.1 MPa). The standard turbulence model (k-ε) and the probability density function (PDF) model, and Fluent software were used to simulate the explosion process of hydrogen-air mixture under different pressure. It was shown that the maximum explosion pressure and maximum rate of pressure rise are linear with the initial pressures when the hydrogen concentration is kept constant, that the maximum explosion pressure decreases by 75.1%-75.9% and the maximum maximum rate of pressure decreases by 77.1%-83.7%, when the initial pressure decreases from 0.1 MPa to 0.025 MPa, and that the time taken by the flame front reaching the wall of the apparatus is longer when the initial pressure is lower.

To ensure the safe operation of chemical pipelines, the types of damage to pipe under the impact of the flood were summarized. Based on the stress analysis of pipe and junction under flood impact, a model was built for judging the bolt failure of pipe flange connection under flood impact. Through this model, the bolt safety conditions of pipe flange connection under flood impact was judged, and the flood speed and the critical length of pipe failure were calculated when the pipe junction failed. An example of the chemical pipe connected by flange-plate type steel pipe flange was presented in this paper. In this example, the critical water velocity and critical length were calculated for different outer diameter pipes under flood impact. The results show that for a pipe under the impact of the flood, the higher the flood velocity is, the shorter the failure length of the pipe will be, and that at same water velocity, the larger the pipe diameter is, the longer the critical length of pipe failure will be.

In order to prevent the spotaneous combustion accident of coal in goaf in gassy and high spontaneous combustion propensity coal seam, 19 influencing factors were identified according to the characteristics of goaf spontaneous combustion in this kind of coal seam. The factors were treated by using the integrated DEMATEL and ISM method based on intuitionistic fuzzy sets. A multi-level hierarchical structure model was built for the factors and the respective influences of the factors were examined. The results show that the factors influencing goaf spontaneous combustion in gassy and high spontaneous combustion propensity coal seam can be divided into three levels: the root factors are the ventilation mode, the length of working surface, the oxygen absorption rate, the critical temperature, the residual gas content, the thickness of coal seam, the dip angle and geological structure of coal seam. Intermediate factors are the gas condition in adjacent layer, the mining method of working surface. The air quantity of ventilation and advancing speed of working surface. The surface factors are the fire prevention measures, the safety monitoring, the goaf residual coal thickness, the gas extraction measures, the ventilation resistance of working surface, the advancing speed, the surrounding rock temperature, the depth of coal seam and the roof lithology, and that more attention should be paid to improving the root factors.

The paper uses a quantitative approach to evaluate the risk in railway dangerous goods transportation system. First, the railway dangerous goods transportation system is divided into five subsystems: personnel, machine, material, environment and management, and the risk factors in each subsystem are identified. Then, an entropy-TOPSIS-coupling coordination comprehensive evaluation method is worked out by integrating the entropy method, the TOPSIS and the coupling coordination degree model. Following this, the method is used to evaluate the risk in railway dangerous goods transportation system in China. Finally, some suggestions are put forward for improvement. The results show that the railway dangerous goods transportation system in China has become safer in recent years as it grows from ordered to disordered, but the personnel and management subsystems are relatively weak and need to be improved, thus to reduce the coupling effect and ensure transportation safety.

In order to study the influences of non-scheduled factors on aircraft deicing guarantee ability of busy airports during winter operation, and to ease the operation safety pressure caused by the surging demand of aircraft deicing under the condition of incomplete information, a multi-object optimization allocation model of aircraft deicing was built by using the 0-1 integer programming method. Actual data on 13 681 deicing flights of a certain busy airport during winter operation in three snowfall seasons were taken as a sample, the factors influencing aircraft deicing guarantee ability were identified by comparing the 20 different situations combined of different snow conditions and different non-scheduled factors. The results show that enough ice apron input can reduce the deicing delay more effectively than optimization of resource usage in extreme snowfall weather, that unreasonable flight timing may result in a pressure on aircraft deicing guarantee ability which has nothing to do with the quantity and using manner of ice aprons, and that the quantity and using manner of ice aprons jointly affect the improvement of aircraft deicing guarantee ability.

In order to study the relationship between impact tendency and charge induction of fracturing coal, uniaixial compression tests were performed by using a self-developed multi-channel system. The distribution of charge signals and other parameters were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively for coal samples different in impact tendency. The experimental results show that the change of stress-charge in the process of fracture is consistent, that the charge signals are stable at the initial stage of loading and they change remarkably in the stage of stress drop, that charge signals vary with the impact tendency, that signals of strong impact occur before the stress peak and the weak occurs before and after the stress peak, that signals of samples without impact tendency are generated mainly in the softening stage after the stress peak, that the stronger the impact tendency of coal is, the less accumulative charges are after the stress peak, and the bigger the quantity of the charges per unit time will be, and that impact tendency can be predicted by analyzing distribution of the charge signals and the relative parameters to give a basis for predicting the dynamic disaster of rock burst.

In order to improve and perfect the fundamental method for controlling coal seam gas by microbes, an experimental device was developed for studying coal adsorbed methane microbiological degradation in the environment of simulated solid coal. A strain of efficient methane oxidizing bacteria belonging to Methylomarinum was extracted from the soil samples taken from a return air course in Jiaozuo Jiulishan Coal Mine. Through controlling the load of axial compression quantitatively and continually, injecting the bacteria liquid into the test piece of coal body, the oxidation effects of different coal samples with liquid containing methanotrophs were investigated. The volume of carbon dioxide as one of the characteristic metabolites of methane oxidizing bacteria was measured. The experimental results show that in the range of axial pressure 1-5 MPa, with the increasing of axial pressure, the degradation rate of methane decreases rapidly in the early stages and then decreases slowly, that under the same axial pressure, the greater the Protodyakonov coefficient is, the higher the degradation rate would be, and that the ratio of volume of methane consumption to that of carbon dioxide produced is roughly 12∶1.

The influence of the hill topography on the ground pressure feature of 12205 working face in Shangwan's coal mine, taken as an example the large mining working faces in a shallow buried coal seam, was studied by means of theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and field measurement. Based on the stress transfer mechanics model, both the slope and the height of the hill were identified as the main influence factors. Then, numerical simulation was used to study the influences of both the slope and the height on the ground pressure feature. The results show the hill terrain influences more heavily both the peak value and the peak position of the bearing pressure than the flat topography does, and the influence range of the former is larger than that of the latter, that the slope is more than 30° or the height is a slope of more than 30° or a height of more than 30m, will generally cause a strong pressure, and that both the theoretical analysis and the numerical simulation conform to the reality.

Seeing that over-concentrated risk sources involved in production process and storage have resulted in frequent occurrence of domino accidents, the authors of this paper started studying optimization of the layout of barriers for the purpose of preventing accident expansion. On the basis of starting a pool fire as the primary accident, possible secondary accidents were screened and their extending probabilities were calculated. Taking into account the possible failure of barriers and their effectiveness in reducing thermal radiation when operating successfully, the effects of barriers acting on the risk sources were quantitatively assessed. With all the calculation results obtained, a decision model was built for solving the problem of how to set barriers at limited cost for a given enterprise in order that the probabilities of domino accidents can be minimized. Finally, by using the model, an optimal safety barriers layout scheme was designed for a factory producing methionine taken as an example. This study proves that reasonable arrangement of safety barrier can prevent domino accident effectively.

In order to protect the safety of underground cavern group construction workers and prevent accidents, the BP neural network method was used to study early warning of safety risks in the construction of underground caverns. Firstly, through the analysis of the influencing factors of construction safety of underground caverns, a warning index system was constructed. After collecting 1 000 sets of training samples, the network parameters were set and debugged. After the success of the network training, a safety risk early warning analysis for the underground cavern group during construction was carried out. Then the underground caverns under construction in a certain place were taken as an example to verify the effectiveness of the early warning method. The results show that the early warning method can be used to quickly know the current safety status of and the trend in variation of risk in the underground caverns construction, and is helpful in taking effective measures in advance for improving the safety management level of underground caverns construction.

The paper was aimed at researching emergency evacuation strategies from a vertical ship lift on initial fire to improve the evacuation efficiency. Firstly, the evacuation paths were divided into the horizontal path and vertical evacuation path according to the vertical ship lift structure and the evacuation passageway. Secondly, evacuation speeds were obtained as a function of age. The values of horizontal evacuation time from horizontal corridor to vertical evacuation passage were calculated. Thirdly, the relationships between the locations of ship reception chamber corridor and evacuation floors were studied. The values of vertical evacuation time from vertical evacuation passage to upstream or downstream platforms through stairs or elevator were calculated. Finally, an evacuation time comparison was made between the stairs mode and the combination mode. The results show that the greater the distance between fault height and evacuation point is, the bigger the advantage of using the combination mode will be when a fire occurs in the vertical ship lift.
