The communication of each others is lack between planing, design, construction and maintenance in domestic construction industry. This problem makes the omission of information and the loss of cost. So, the introduction of BIM can be the solution about that. BIM manages all information generated during all life-cycle of a structure and consequently maximizes the efficiency of utilizing information. This is done through 3D information model associated with a three-dimensional(3D) parametric CAD. This study proposes the seismic analysis process of steel box bridge for structural design of bridge construction project based on BIM. The additional process is needed for the purpose that structural data is inherent in the property information of 3D information model. This process has 3D modeling progress done by using the information decided in design phase. The design document of seismic analysis can be derived with the proposed process to steel box bridge.

하천 복원을 위해서는 자연 상태에서의 복원 대상 하천의 거동에 대한 지형학적 정보가 필요하다. 하지만, 국내 하천은 대부분 개수되어 있고, 참조하천으로 활용할만한 하천 역시 찾기가 어려운 실정이다. 이에 대상 하천의 과거 자연 상태에서의 자료와 현재 자료를 병용함으로써 지형학적 분석에 필요한 정보를 얻는 방법을 제시하였으며, 미호천과 내성천을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였다. 분석은 강턱하폭, 강턱유량과 하도 패턴(channel pattern), 그리고 하천의 유형과 관계된 지배적인 프로세스에 초점을 맞추었다. 분석 결과 강턱하폭은 강턱유량에 비례하여 증가하였으며, 그 경향성은 기존의 연구 결과와 대체로 일치하였다. 강턱유량과 하도경사간의 관계를 분석한 결과 미호천은 사행하천과 망상하천의 특성을 나타내는 반면, 내성천은 대부분의 구간에서 망상하천 특성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 하도경사와 하폭수심비 관계를 이용하여 지배적인 프로세스를 분석한 결과 미호천은 사구-연흔의 특성을 나타내고 있으나 내성천은 하류에서는 망상하천 특성이 지배적인 반면, 상류에서는 여울-소 내지는 평하상 특성이 지배적인 것으로 나타났다. 현재와 자연상태로 판단되는 과거 시점의 자료를 병용하여 분석한 결과들은 정비된 하천의 자료를 이용한 분석 결과에 비해 합리적인 것으로 나타났다.

Demand of Natural Gas (NG) consumption is continuously increasing by long service life and low environmental impact than other fossil fuels. Because of this reasons, Gas wells exploration and huge LNG plant construction project are being boosted world-widely. Especially, overseas NG pipe-line projects are emerging by considering safe and efficiency at the inter-country sections. At the same time, Korean contractors are being achieved to record-breaking performance at 2011's overseas construction market and 80% of new-record was attained from overseas plant construction projects. Nevertheless, Korean contractors are behind than overseas leading contractors by geographical distance from gas wells and concentrated demand for storage plant. In these reasons, this paper aims to develop the standardized business process model(BPM) for overseas NG pipe-line project at project planning phase to support the project entry. To this aim, first of all, extract the BPM through the broad literature and overseas construction market review and domestic/overseas pipe-line project analysis. Second, Test-bed was performed to confirm of practical applicability by 4 experts. And then 15 experts survey were performed to validate the usability and effectiveness of BPM for overseas NG pipe-line project. Consequently, if Korean contractors are using this BPM with their own know-how and experiences, it will be returned to more reasonable and rational references for decision making in overseas NG pipe-line project.

Modular construction is combined with manufacturing production process and conventional construction industry technique. Considering characteristic of modular construction production process, manufacturing facilities require indirect costs for utilities, equipment, and overall maintenance, which can affect modular units pricing. However, current modular construction cost classification is inadvertent to reflect the manufacturing overhead costs, because it is generally added as a percentage to sum of labor, material and equipment as it called in single cost pool used. This process is easy to estimate the total construction cost at the project starting points, but it brings on misunderstanding of project profit estimations by "cross subsidization phenomenon". To prevent this situation, in this research aims to provide modular construction overhead cost handling process at the detailed indirect cost calculation for manufacturing stage using Activity-Based Costing as one of the powerful method for overhead costs estimation and allocation. Using this research results, modular construction cost estimators have more detailed cost information of modular units and prevent to misallocate indirect costs. Also, it can be utilized to aid the understanding of the company's profit structure.
