The objective of this study is to calculate road user costs that caused by the expansion work of metropolitan arterial highway and to analyze the costs that affect economic feasibility evaluation. "Taerung~Guri IC" section of Bukbu Expressway was selected as a case study. As a result, it shows that these costs could be a factor for determining economic feasibility for some projects. However, decreased capacity and free-flow speed are seriously different as period, type, length and traffic volume of work zones. These factors that decrease traffic capacity and free-flow speed should be deeply researched in the future.

Building costs means capital costs which include cost of land, costs of acquiring and preparing the site, construction costs, professional fees, furnishings, cost of financing the project. and cost of management required to run and maintenance the building for use. There are several phases that determine the building costs : design phase, construction phase, and operation & maintenance phase. So, the cost of work could be set against the examining the full range of complexities that a building program might contain. To solve this problem, it needs to compute building cost systematically. This is still in the development stage, awaiting the organization of rational cost data base. The method of cost saving by cost control could be constituted by detailed knowledge of building costs for all possible combinations of components and subsystems that can be assembled into integration model of cost factor on each phase of project development. The model of cost saving in each building phase is available for procedures of cost control of building systems.

In the delivery systems for public construction works, design-build methods such as turn-key and alternative have contributed to improving the quality of structures and developing the construction technology. However, it is pointed out that construction based on a design-build method is likely to waste a budget due to its higher contract price than construction based on a design-bid-build method. Other issues such as contract monopoly, bid rigging and deliberation irregularity in design-build. Since there are not much works have been accomplished to comparatively analyze the actual performance and effect based on delivery methods, discussing and judging the performance and effect of each deliver method with limited information could lead to an error. Thus, this study by extensively investigates the actual project cost data, ranging from contract price to the construction cost of the public construction works and comparatively analyzed the characteristics of each delivery method about cost structure and fluctuation trend. This work is expected to assist stake-holders in properly understanding delivery systems for public construction works and promoting their efficient management.

As people pays more attention to remodeling as a method to effectively improve, maintain, and manage building properties, it is important to ensure the economic feasibility of remodeling compared to reconstruction, instead of focusing on systematic regulations. In order to identify core technologies, the study set criteria to survey cost of a remodeling project by analyzing current status of remodeling projects. Based on the criteria, the study calculated average construction cost for five remodeling projects that were conducted recently, compared the cost with new construction projects, and examined major level works that are essential in a remodeling project. Based on the major level works, the study conducted interviews with construction experts to draw core technologies in design, structure and construction of a remodeling project.

교통사고가 중요한 사회 문제로 대두되어 정부는 교통안전대책의 실질적인 추진 방안으로 "교통사고 잦은 곳"과 "위험도로" 개선사업을 제시·시행하고 있다. 이에 "교통사고 잦은 곳" 개선사업은 추진현황에 따라 각 년도별 기본 개선계획의 평가 및 경제적 타당성에 대한 효과분석이 이루어지고 있다. "위험도로"'의 경우 모든 사업을 건설교통부 산하 국도유지사무소에서 진행을 하고 있으나, 광범위한 사업으로 인한 업무과중 및 개선사업비 조달 등의 문제로 개선된 현황의 체계적인 효과분석이 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 "위험도로" 개선사업에 대한 효과분석을 수행하여 보다 비용-효율적인 개선사업이 될 수 있는 기반을 마련하고자 한다. 이를 위해 전체 위험도로 구간 중에서 '광주국도유지사무소' 및 '순천국도유지사무소' 관할 구역 내의 "위험도로"로 선정(1995년)된 도로구간 중 1999년 이전에 도로개선공사가 완료된 후 현재 교통소통이 원활하게 진행되는 18개 도로구간을 연구 대상으로 선택하였다. 선택되어진 18개 구간에 대한 도로개선공사 전후의 교통사고건수 및 교통사고율을 효과척도로 삼고 각 사고에 대한 소요비용을 기준으로 경제성 평가를 실시하였다. 이를 근거로 "위험도로" 개선사업에 대한 타당성조사 및 효과분석을 실시한 결과 "위험도로" 개선사업의 타당성이 입증되었다. 연구 분석결과가 전라도 권역의 사업을 중심으로 진행되어져 전국적인 개선사업에 대한 대표성을 가지고 있다고 볼 수는 없으나, 체계적인 분석을 통한 개선사업의 효과를 구체화 할 수 있는 대안을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 더불어 공사 완료된 도로구간에 대한 상세한 공사비 내역과 다수의 개선방안별 자료가 갖추어지면 위험도로의 사고율과 개선방안별 상관관계를 관련 비용을 중심으로 도출함으로서 비용-효율적인 개선 방안을 제시할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 비용-효율적인 개선 방안을 기반으로 한 각각의 사업 투자우선 순위 결정방안에 관한 지속적 인 연구가 요망된다.

Overbreak is an inevitable during tunnel excavation. It significantly affects tunnel construction cost and safety The overbreak occurs due to incorrect expectations to the geologic structures, excessive charge or strength of explosives, etc. This paper introduces multi-hole drilling method to minimize the overbreak in tunnel excavation. Although the drilling cost of the method is more expensive than those of the existing other drilling method, it is expected at that cost will be reduced.

Given that most government contracts are based on a fiscal year, long-term continuing construction contracts require appropriate provisions as significant amounts of budget is supposed to be invested for several years. This study drew problems and improvements of the long-term continuing construction contracts by analyzing the contents of FGI and list of construction order. We found that a number of problems, such as the mismatch between laws and enforcement decrees, difference in calculating overheads due to the extension of construction period, many construction orders that are hard to see as budget efficiency and over investment in the final annual contract, were tangled up in the process. To solve the problems mentioned, we suggested several improvements as follows: (1) effect of total construction period and total amount should be guaranteed by a law, (2) it is suggested that the scope of long-term continuing construction contract is determined by a law, and (3) it should be clear about the calculation of overheads concerned with the extension of construction period as well as the estimation of construction period to prevent over investment in the final contract.

This study suggests a methodology for organizing functions of nD CAD model which 4D object is linked with cost and resource information. And the suggested model is composed of process analysis function of plant project based on visualized scenario analysis. That is, it is possible to manage effectively not only construction schedule plan, but also resource and cost information by integrating construction management information into nD CAD object. And the suggested model can be utilized as information of a effective decision-making tool through analyzing of optimal process scenario and sharing of an analyzed information.

The domestic construction market started to expand steadily since 1970s. The building market which utilizes a sandwich panel with advantages of economical construction expenses and convenient construction has grown rapidly in recent years. However, the companies which specialize in constructing sandwich panels are relatively small or medium size, compared with other construction companies. As a result, studies on the improvement of productivity have not been conducted sufficiently. In this study, the construction sites of sandwich panel are investigated, and the work processes by each team are analyzed. Additionally, the productivity and the construction cost of each work group are analyzed by constructing a model using the Web-Cyclone. It analyzed sensitivities about change of productivity and work costs following in processing place of the panel which is one of the productivity effect factors, so it assayed the optimized productivity by each work group and work costs. Analysis showed that 30% of productivity has improved compared with the factory processing work group, and analysis of work costs showed that about 15% of work costs was increased. Also sensitivity analysis of opening ratio showed that the work costs optimization will be accomplished when about 20% of opening was processed from the factory.
