The Project Risk Management is intended to result in the effective management by identifying in advance and mitigating all significant risks including project risks and opportunities during the entire project life cycle - from project inception to completion of construction. It is impossible to predict an exact budget and construction duration before finishing a project. So, Washington Department of Transportation mandates that workshop-based risk management is conducted for projects over specific cost. However, the domestic construction sites have depended on numerical risk analysis without any workshop and efficient risk management have not made. Therefore, in this study, we propose the effective risk management using the RBES program which is very useful for workshop-based risk management and pre & post mitigation, by workshop-based risk management techniques. This proposed risk management approach is applied to a domestic 'A' river recovery project. It is concluded that we may expect the effect to mitigate the total cost overrun problem and the construction duration delay effect in the project by identifying significant risks and by preparing effective risk mitigation strategies.

Calculating non-working days is very important element for the accurate estimation of construction time. And non-working days are largely affected by weather factors such as rainfall, wind velocity, snowfall and temperature. In the case of concrete works, there are lots of referable information for the calculation of non-working days due to the weather factors. However, for the structural steel works, there are very limited information only. Through literature survey and interviews with a few engineers, this paper established the weather factors that affect steel structural works and the impact of those factors. Based on the factors and the expected impact of the factors together with the weather data during the last 15 years in Seoul region gathered from Korea Meteorological Administration, this paper suggests the monthly non-working day of structural steel work due to weather factors. This information can be used for the early estimation of construction time.

매립공사시 매립토의 유실로 인한 공사기간의 지연, 공사비 증액 등이 발생할 수 있다. 이에 대한 정량적인 예측은 매우 중요하나, 그에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 미비하다. 본 연구에서는 매립토의 유실은 유입된 유사와 호안 표면의 유사가 흐름에 의해 공사구간을 빠져나간 양이라 정하였다. 매립공사에서 유실량의 산정은 매립물량 산정과 직결되며 이는 경제성 부분에서 매우 중요하다. 그러나 국내에서는 경험에 의존한 유실율을 기준으로 매립물량을 결정하고 있는 실정이고, 현장계측으로도 유실량을 정량적으로 판단하기 쉽지않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 호안 주변의 흐름 특성을 고려한 매립토의 유실량을 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 방안으로 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 수리실험은 길이 13.0 m, 폭 5.0 m의 직사각형 단면의 광폭 수로에서 수행하였으며 일정한 양의 유사를 유입하기 위해 자체 제작한 유사공급장치를 사용하였다. 매립토의 특성을 고려하기 위하여 일반모래($d_{50}=0.621mm$, SG=2.72)와 안트라사이트($d_{50}=1.547mm$, SG=1.61) 두 가지 유사를 사용하였고, 매립토 유실요인 중 흐름특성에 의해 외부로 유실되는 양을 보다 명확히 규명하기 위해 유사를 유입하기 전과 후의 양을 각각 직접 채취하는 원시적인 방법과 3D 스캔을 통한 방법을 이용하여 평가한 유실율과 비교 검토해 보았다. 두 가지 방법에 대한 상대오차는 최대 3.12%로 나타났다. 흐름조건에 따른 매립토의 유실율은 살펴보면 두 가지 유사 모두 한계유속(Vc)을 넘어서는 순간, 급격히 유실율이 증가하였고, 일반모래는 약 10 % 안트라사이트는 약 30%로 각각 나타났다. 향후 매립토의 특성인자의 영향을 명확하게 구분하기 위해 다양한 매립토를 활용하여 보다 많은 조건하에서 실험을 수행한다면 매립토의 유실량 산정의 정확성을 높일 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

This paper looks into how to enhance construction project management, focusing on the change order, which is often considered one of the major causes for construction delays, disputes, and claims in the middle east construction. First, this paper categorizes the major causes of change orders. It suggests a detailed classification standard for affecting factors resulting from change orders based on a case study result of an on-going construction project in the Middle East. In particular, this paper presents a method to apply a machine learning-based feature selection to quantify the importance of change order triggers and affecting factors. As a result, the case study identifies six major change order triggers and eight affecting factors. Also, a meaningful relationship between change order triggers and affecting factors by each category is presented. This paper will contribute to setting a clear guideline for change order management for the international plant construction field while helping prevent construction delays and cost run-ups by reducing the time required for change order resolution between project owners and contractors.

The purpose of this study is to derive service factors based on the "Rail Statistical Yearbook" data of railroad service providers from 1990 to 2019, and to analyze the effect of the service factors on the operating profit ratio(OPR), a representative management performance variable of railroad transport service providers. In particular, it has academic significance in terms of empirical research to evaluate whether the management innovation of the KoRail has changed in line with the purpose of establishing the corporation by dividing the research period into the first period (1990-2003) and the latter (2004-2019). The contents of this study investigated previous studies on the quality of railway passenger transportation service and analyzed the contents of government presentation data related to the management performance evaluation of the KoRail. As an empirical analysis model, a research model was constructed using OPR as a dependent variable and service factor variables of infrastructure, economy, safety, connectivity, and business diversity as explanatory variables based on the operation and management activity information during the analysis period 30 years. On the results of research analysis, OPR is that the infrastructure factor is improved by structural reform or efficiency improvement. And economic factors are the fact that operating profit ratio improves by reducing costs. The safety factor did not reveal the significant explanatory power of the regression coefficient, but the sign of influence was the same as the prediction. Connectivity factor reveals a influence on differences between first period and latter, but OPR impact direction is changed from negative in before to positive in late. This is an evironment in which connectivity is actually realized in later period. On diversity factor, there is no effect of investment share in subsidiaries and government subsidies on OPR.

A drill & blasting method using explosives is the most efficient way to break the rock in the urban projects. However, the blasting method cause vibration, noise and fly-rock as blast pollutions so that blasting wroks are restricted by adjacent structures such as apartment and residence houses. To conduct blasting works at near structures, the numbers of blast-holes a blast and the size of the blast are limited by kinds of detonators and initiation methods. So, the production rate is reduced and the construction period should be increased. Therefore, in this case the deck-charge blasting methods using available detonators in domestic market were designed and evaluated in order to confirm the application possibilities in specific urban sites.

This study investigated price factors for large apartment complexes in Seoul during the COVID-19 pandemic and compared Gangnam and non-Gangnam areas, which have been recognized as heterogeneous markets. We find that the change in apartment prices in large-scale complexes did not significantly affect the individual characteristics of apartments, unlike previous studies, but was affected by macroeconomic variables such as interest rates and money. On the other hand, considering the units of the interest rate and total monetary volume variables, the effects of two variables on the apartment sales price is significantly high. In addition, the Gangnam area model analysis shows that apartment prices are greatly affected by interest rates and currency volume, and, the non-Gangnam area model analysis shows that apartment prices are greatly affected by interest rates and currency volume, but the degrees are different from the Gangnam area model. Overall, our study shows that interest rates and money supply were the main factors of apartment price changes, but apartment prices in non-Gangnam areas are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and money supply.

An optimal selection of form-work is very important in the construction project in terms of construction cost and duration management. Also, it substantially affects the quality of the structure and the finishing work. However, in South Korea, the decision making on the selection of form-work has been based on the experience and intuition of construction practitioners not on the objective data or rational decision-making system. In order to solve the problem, several types of research on the selection of form-work has been processed. However, they did not consider the construction site condition, which is one of the most important factors for the selection of form-work. Thus, the objective of this study is developing the objective decision supporting system considering the site condition. This study provides the quantitative decision support model for optimal form-work based on construction site type. It is expected that the decision support model will help the practitioners decide optimal form-work based on the objective data. It will ameliorate the existing decision making process using experience and intuition. In addition, because the model considers site-conditions, it will provide more accurate and appropriate decision on the selection of an optimal form-work.

This study investigates the effectiveness of Jeju's public Wi-Fi policy for which the key factors of public Wi-Fi use and location characteristics are analyzed. Spatial regression analysis was conducted within a 100 m radius of public Wi-Fi access points. In the analysis, the dependent variable was public Wi-Fi usage time while independent variables included demographic factors, location factors, and other factors. The findings reveal that demographic factors such as the number of residents, the number of workers, and the number of visitors had a close correlation with the use of public Wi-Fi. In addition, the number of bus stops and land prices of each parcel, land use mix, and AP installation period had a positive correlation with the use of public Wi-Fi. On the contrary, the number of buildings by use, the total floor area of buildings, and the number of tourist attractions had negative correlations with public Wi-Fi usage time. These findings provide policy implications that more active publicity on Jeju's public Wi-Fi is needed and the convenience for access needs to be improved.
