Abstract

Highway construction is a combination of linear, repetitive, and highly equipment intensive operations. Various types of construction equipment are deployed to ensure undisrupted performance of construction, and thus productivity improvement and cost-saving can be achieved through well-thought-out planning. The selection of construction equipment is dependent upon construction sequence, site conditions, and construction methods. In the process of planning, management should consider various types of construction methods per each type of construction operation. Also, management should map out proper construction equipment operation plan that takes the construction duration and cost measures into consideration. However, limited availability of historic data from the similar types of operations has been a stumbling block to proper construction planning, making the operations performed based upon experience and intuition guided by rules-of-thumb. As a consequence, the planing phase rarely provided an adequate validity in the implementation phase. The researchers developed a process logic for each construction type that management can utilize from early phase of highway construction planning process. Moreover, derived the construction equipment combination optimized for efficiency by using the process simulation technique. The developed method is expected to be useful for the decision-making process that aims to evaluate efficiency of various process plans and to ensure optimal selection of construction equipment for highway construction projects.

도로공사는 선형적이고 반복적인 공사로 공사의 특성상 건설장비에 대한 의존도가 높기 때문에, 건설장비의 효율적 운용에 의한 생산성 향상 및 공사비 절감 효과가 크다. 또한, 도로공사는 시공순서, 현장상황, 적용 공법에 따라 다양한 건설 장비의 선택이 가능하기 때문에 공정계획 시, 공종 간 연계에 따른 세부 작업 및 공법을 고려하여야 한다. 시공자는 현장조건에 맞는 작업을 선택하고 투입될 장비의 종류 및 성능, 수량 등을 사전에 파악하여, 적절한 건설장비 운용계획의 수립을 통한 경제성 향상 방안을 마련해야 한다. 하지만 한정된 유사 공사의 실적정보 및 체계적인 공사계획 방법의 부재로, 적정한 공정계획 수립이 용이하지 않으며, 공법 및 건설장비의 선정에 있어 대부분 경험과 직관에 의존한 공사를 수행하고 있다. 그 결과 시공 이전 공정계획단계에서 수립된 계획은 실행단계에서의 충분한 타당성을 확보하지 못하여 그 활용도가 제한적이다. 본 연구는 일반적인 도로공사의 초기 공정계획 수립단계에서 적용가능한 주요 공종별 공정로직을 개발하고, 공종 별 세부 시공절차 분석을 통하여 현장상황 및 공종에 적용 가능한 건설장비 운용 방안을 제시하였다. 또한 공정로직에 따른 다양한 건설장비 대안들을 대상으로 프로세스 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 경제성 기반의 최적화 장비조합 방안을 개발하였다. 개발된 방법을 이용하여, 계획단계에서의 수립된 다양한 공정계획에 대해 효율성을 평가하고 최적의 자원 선정을 위한 의사결정에 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.
