The simulation function by the 4D system is a representative BIM function in the construction stage. For the 4D simulation, schedule information for each activity must be created and then linked with the 3D model. Since the 3D model created in the design stage does not consider schedule information, there are practical difficulties in the process of creating schedule information for application to the construction stage and linking the 3D model. In this study, after extracting the schedule information of the construction stage using the HDBSCAN algorithm from the 3D model in the design stage, authors propose a methodology for automatically generating schedule information by identifying precedence and sequencing relationships by applying the topological alignment algorithm. Since the generated schedule information is created based on the 3D model, it can be used as information that is automatically linked by the common parameters between the schedule and the 3D model in the 4D system, and the practical utility of the 4D system can be increased. The proposed methodology was applied to the four bridge projects to confirm the schedule information generation, and applied to the 4D system to confirm the simplification of the link process between schedule and 3D model.

In 2011 and 2012, Korean construction firms awarded around $ 64.5. Billion each year from the overseas market in 2011. This contract value accounted for overwhelming portion of total overseas construction contract values, and this growth is expected to continue for the next decade. However, contract scopes awarded to the Korean construction firms mainly involve detailed design and construction phases due to their competitiveness for the construction techniques. In other words, front-end-engineering-design and construction project management are not considered part of core business due to the lack of project management skills and experience. The researchers focused on development of construction sequence model required to improve construction planning and scheduling skills for the Korean construction firms. The model identifies critical work items and the sequence throughout project execution process. In addition, the researchers developed a risk evaluation method by applying fuzzy theory to the critical construction activities for the industrial plant construction projects. Developed methodology will help project practitioners to develop project schedule in a timely and effe ctive manner and evaluate project risks associated with scheduling process for the industrial plant construction projects.

LH Corporation uses the construction waste disposal fee standard, of which the model was developed a long time ago. Therefore, this model is problematic because it needs to reflect waste treatment facilities' technological development and environmental conditions. In this study, the estimated manpower and costs required for the process operation of waste treatment facilities were analyzed, followed by the proposed estimation criteria. This improved standard model can be used as a cost calculation standard for the recycling and treatment of construction waste in public institutions. The study also suggests that an increase in waste treatment costs is needed.

본 연구는 장래 유입수질 변화로 해수담수화(Desalination) 역삼투압(Seawater Reverse Osmosis) 공정의 전력비 예측 모델을 개발하고 별도의 해수담수화 추가공정이 필요한지 검토하였다. 플랜트 시설은 한번 설치되면 오랜 기간 운영이 되고, 주요 공정의 시설물 변경이 어려우며, 특히 해수담수화 시설의 경우에는 생활용수 및 공업용수를 수요자에 상시 공급함으로서 중간에 추가 시설물을 증설하거나 변경하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 해수담수화 시설의 계획 초기부터 현재의 유입수질 및 장래의 수질 변화를 예측하여 해수담수화 공정을 계획하는 것이 필요하다. 금회 검토는 해수온도 및 염분도 변화를 고려하여 서해에 위치한 대산산업단지 해수담수화 시설의 해수담수화 공정 전력비를 예측하였고, 입력 자료(온도 및 염분도)는 국가해양환경정보통합시스템(MEIS, Marine Environment Information System) 22년 과거자료(1997~2018년)를 이용하였다. 개발된 모형에 적용하여, 해수담수화에 필요한 전력비의 변화를 예측할 수 있으며, 이를 바탕으로 해수담수화 시설물 공정계획을 검토할 수 있었다. 금회 연구에서는 장래 수질변화 예측모형의 결과를 기반으로 해수담수화 시설물 공정을 제시하였다는데 의의가 있다.

Generally, research on construction cost has been done mostly regarding its direct cost, thus model regarding indirect cost lacks attention. This research seeks to introduce a model to predict on-site overhead cost for apartment construction projects, which constitutes a big portion in Korean construction industry. We devised an equation of 9th degree via curve-fitting, using multiple on-site actual expense data, which can be used to calculate per-progress rate, per-day on-site overhead cost. We further show prospective usage of the model by applying it on construction projects sizing about 30 billion won. Regarding the fact that previous studies could not recognize pattern changes of a total on-site overhead cost, this model is worthy of its conveniency and thoroughness, as well as providing reasonal ground for its derivation in predicting on-site overhead cost of apartment construction projects.

BIM is currently applied in some domestic construction firms, but it is not being actively utilized due to changes in working environments and qualms about new studies. In order to utilize a BIM model in the design phase, process information is needed during construction, but the input system and utilization method of the process information's state are not complete. Therefore, we propose a BIM template for construction progress management that can show basic BIM information as the construction progresses in an easy and convenient way. This method will facilitate the adoption of BIM and enhance the productivity of construction companies. To this end, we designed a progress explorer for step-by-step progress and work schedules, and we generated three-dimensional views and a progress list by applying unit information (primary units, part units, and detail units) of the work breakdown structure (WBS) to the parameters. To use the BIM template, work progress information is input to the BIM modeling objects through Dynamo. We also used Dynamo for quick and easy calculation of the quantity of materials needed for construction work. To test the BIM template, we applied it to an actual project and evaluated its visibility and a progress list. The results showed that the proposed BIM template facilitates progress management of a project and can thus facilitate the adoption of BIM and improve the productivity of construction companies.

This study aims to implement an efficient process management system for small and medium sized(local) construction companies and a performance management system for the Korean construction industry. The process management system by Lean Construction is Web 2.0 platform-based and creates clusters with numerous general contractors and sub-contractors, which will enable mutually organic process management. Plus, this system will enable them to compare project performance management by analyzing it during or after a project by collecting and accumulating lots of data occurring in pursuit of a project. These performance management cases will be of help in process planning during similar upcoming projects. This study is expected to somewhat reduce the burden of implementing a complicated process management protocol and system that Korean small and medium sized (local) construction companies experience with their web-based process management, and is supposed to realize accurate performance management with highly reliable data which are significantly accumulated within the database.

The initial step in the construction process, estimating appropriate construction time and expense is the most important factor that would influence the result of the construction. In order to enhance productivity and efficiency, there is a need to analyze and manage rationally. The purpose of this project is to make a simulation model for all subway tunnel construction based on the NATM method, also give an support equipment that would make available to plan and analyze the construction. The development of simulation model is based on a real case construction analysis process and also on the reference data. It reflects restrictive elements, make it possible to modify the conditions, and not only adapt to our project's construction but other projects as well. The model developed by this project will be able to reasonably predict the construction completion time and support the process of decision making during the planning. Therefore we can expect the productivity and efficiency of the whole construction projects.

A key use of applying building information modeling (BIM) to the construction stage of a project is to help identify construction obstacles and to visualize construction status according to the progress of the construction schedule. When employing 4D simulation for this purpose, start and finish dates for each activity and a 3D model of the activity must be prepared. In this work, in order to simplify the configuration of a 4D model, minimum attribute information of the BIM model produced in the design stage was used to construct a system that generated activity information in the construction stage using a clustering algorithm. Its usefulness as actual schedule management information was then analyzed.
