Korea has become the 5th country to own and operate the high speed railroad in 2004. However, there were many difficulties until Koreans enjoy the first bullet train service with the average hourly speed of 300km. The high speed railroad requires elevated quality standards differently from the traditional railways. In addition to the technical difficulties, the construction project itself was an unpleasant case with huge delays and cost overruns mainly due to the lack of experiences, deficiency of owner$^{\circ}{\O}$s role, and increase of public resistances triggered by environmental concerns. This paper analyzes the reasons for delays on this mega-project. With respect to the characteristics of the whole project level, it is very complicated/linear project, whose total length is around 412 km with the composition of various sections in the route of the railway which have basically different conditions. For that reason, the analysis is performed in both macro and micro level. First, macroscopic analysis is performed to find critical subdivisions in the railway route that induces the significant delay in the opening due date. Then, microscopic analysis is followed to quantify the causes and effects of delays focused on these critical subdivisions in more detailed way. Finally, this paper provides lessons learned from this project to avoid the decisive delays in performing the similar large-scaled projects.

Project delay is one of the most crucial impact factors in the construction process from a schedule and cost management perspective. This study focused on analyzing the causes of concrete frame work delay in the apartment construction project. According to the analysis of project cost composition, the direct cost of concrete works was highest in most samples. Actual delays of concrete works were analyzed for the six different construction components. Causes of delay were grouped into two categories; preconstruction and construction phases and these two groups were further divided into sub-groups. Analysis results revealed that the most significant delay was occurred in the 1st. floor concrete skeleton work. For each delay factor, implications of delay as well as suggestion(s) for reducing the possibility of schedule delay are provided.

정부는 방폐장 부지선정에 19년을 소요하였다. 이 후 방폐장 특별법에 따라 주민투표를 실시하였으며 그 결과 2005년 12월에 경주로 결정되었다. 2008년 8월 실질적인 공사가 시작 되었으나 2009년 6월 방폐물공단에서는 30개월의 추가적인 공기가 필요하다며 준공지연을 발표하였다. 이 준공지연발표 직후 방폐장 안전성 논란이 불거졌다. 감시기구에서는 안전성 논란의 출발이 준공지연으로 야기되었음을 인식하고 준공지연 원인분석을 하였다. 그 결과 감시기구에서 확인한 준공지연의 원인은 당초 실현하기 매우 어려운 공기를 설정한 것이며 또 이를 실현 가능한 공기로 수정(준공지연)하는 과정에서 과거의 오류를 인정하지 않고 공사의 어려움을 검토한 내부문서가 유출되어 시민들을 혼란스럽게 한 것이 주된 이유임을 확인하였다.

The sum of each work duration are entire period in construction project. Each work occurs to be late, the total period of construction project will delays. Therefore, the total period of construction project will not be delayed if probability of working progress makes higher. Finding each work's constraints performs constraints analysis in process of construction for checking probability of working progress. Grasp work's constraints through the constraints analysis and removes. This research will show preventing delay of consruction project, through constraints analysis process.

공기 베어링은 마찰과 열 발생이 적고 회전 정밀도가 우수하여 고속 회전하는 축을 지지하는 용도로 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 공기 베어링도 유체 베어링이라면 어느것이나 갖는 Whirl 불안정성이라는 치명적인 결점을 갖는데 현재 이것의 발생 시점이 공기 베어링을 사용하는 시스켐에 있어서 고속화의 한계로 되어있다. 본 논문에서는 불안정성의 원인이 되는 동압 발생을 억제할 수 있는 방법으로 베어링의 위치가 축의 위치에 대해 일정한 각도 지연을 갖도록 제어되는 것을 제안하고 여러 각도지연 크기와 제어게인에 따른 안정특성을 이론 해석을 통해 조사하였다.

Since the cases of time extension have continuously transpired in the public construction project, the potential of economical loss and claims is increasing because the concerned parties such as an owner or a contractor have not properly performed their own responsibility for time extension. One of the main reasons is that the present planning and scheduling do not support the method to apportion the proper responsibility to the right party. This problem has repeatedly led to time extension and made it difficult for the concerned parties to perform the responsibility for time extension. In order to overcome this problem, a framework of delay administration is required as the method to apportion the proper responsibility to the right party. To solve this problem, this paper aimed to develop the conceptual model and prototype system as the practical method to administrate delay causation. Furthermore, the verification result for the reliability and applicability throughout the case studies on real construction projects shows that the conceptual model and prototype system developed would help efficiently to administrate the delay causation.

This study analyzed main causes of claims in EPC/Turnkey projects. For this purpose, this study referred to the FIDIC silver book, which lists the international standard contract conditions for EPC/Turnkey projects. The most frequent cause of claim was delay. A process was then proposed to determine whether the owner or contractor was the responsible party when the delay claim occurred. The proposed process was for damages for delay which is the conditions of contract for indemnities against delay claim. The process was based on conditions of the contract of two previous EPC/Turnkey projects that were constructed in 2010, the FIDIC silver book, as well as the obligations of owner and contactors. The proposed process is applicable depending on the conditions of the contract and the owner's meaning. Furthermore, by identifying the responsible party, this study will contribute in identifying the possible claim types before concluding a contract and writing the specific contract.

Shield TBM, since it was employed for Suyoungman Bay riverbed tunnel of Busan Subway in 2000,has been increasingly adopted in Korea, and in line with growing popularity, the study on Shield TBM has been expanded. However the studies mostly focus on ground condition in a bid to estimate the advancement rate and develop the model for calculating the excavation efficiency, whereas the efforts to analyze the cause of delay and to develop the improvement measures have been neglected. Thus the studies were mostly intended to analyze the schedule slippage focusing on ground conditions, while the study on schedule behind due to equipment itself and related facilities have yet to be attempted in earnest. This study hence was aimed at evaluating the troubles and schedule slippage caused by mechanical elements such as shield TBM equipment and tools and ground conditions, making use of FMEA approach so as to analyze the risk of schedule delay by such elements, thereby proposing the preventive measures to deal with high-risk factors. So, this study suggest the solution to highly ranked trouble factor for the purpose of enhance the efficiency on Shield TBM.

A construction claim is generally caused by several causes, and in the case of developed countries, the most fundamental problem in most claims is a delay claim. Also, it is predicted that the trouble will increase by this one in a domestic case as well. Even though the construction claims occurred by the delay claim are the most frequent ill construction project, it is very difficult to analyze due to the complexity of occurring forms. Therefore, the rational judgement and the solving method need to be concerned through the accurate understanding the clauses accepted in a international contract execution and a domestic contrail when the claim occurred. The purpose of this study is to present problems and improving methods by comparing FIDIC with a domestic accounting regulation in order to expand a general condition into the international contract condition.
