As the Fundamentals of Construction Business Act was revised in December 2004 and its implementing ordinances and enforcement regulations were adjusted in June 2005, the screening system of low price subcontracting has been an obligation to the public owners, having brought about arguments for and against since it enacted in 1983. The statutes for low price subcontracting have been reinforced from this year; for example, it underlines to submit to a project and builds an information network of subcontracting works. The system's original intention was that prevents shoddy and fraudulent constructions caused by low price subcontracting and precludes disturbances of fair trade by screening that whether it satisfies the conditions or not in advance. But, the criterion for the existing low price subcontracting has several issues having held up a true mirror to the real situation. It is arguable to discharge an important task with the primary purpose. This dissertation have researched the problem with a deposit of subcontract and the low price subcontracting basic rate are being used by the criteria for deciding whether it is a low price subcontracting or not, so showing the plan of reformation based on the findings, it wishes to contribute toward making the most of the system's essential intent.

The objective of this study is the evaluation of the tunneling effect on the goundwater-surface water interaction. The designed tunnel line is laid beneath the Hapo-cheon, which runs throughout the study area. And, the pre-evaluation of the tunnel-influence on the Gapo-cheon is urgently needed. However, it is very difficult to find out the similar domestic and/or foreign cases. In this study, the numerical modeling technique was not considered because of the insufficient data. Instead of the numerical modeling, the measurement and analysis of the stream flow rates 5 different points were adopted to evaluate the influence of the tunnel construction on the Gapo-cheon. Based on the analysis of flow monitoring data, it can be concluded that 39% of flow rate in Gapo-cheon is contributed by the groundwater discharge, as baseflow and the construction of tunnel can seriously decrease the flow rate in Gapo-cheon.

In this study, a study on how to use a fire hydrant as a heat wave reduction facility through hydraulic analysis of the water supply pipe network was conducted. Assuming that the fire hydrant installation point is open for heat wave reduction, the water pressure at each point was derived. And the reduction rate of the temperature according to the hydrant watering was compared with the watering area according to the operation of the watering truck. The watering area according to the opening of the fire hydrant was calculated by deriving the pressure value at the node where the fire hydrant was installed through hydraulic analysis of the water pipe network, and then using the watering radius relational expression according to the pressure value. As a result of applying the proposed methodology to two real city areas, the temperature reduction effect of the watering method by a fire hydrant can be derived lower than the watering method by a watering truck according to the difference in the absolute watering area. However, unlike a watering truck, a fire hydrant does not have a relative restriction on the amount of water supply and is expected to allows continuous divided spraying of the same area.

In cable tunnel construction using TBM, the vertical shaft is an essential structure for entrance and exit of TBM equipment and power lines. Since a shaft penetrates the ground vertically, it often encounters rock mass. Blasting or rock splitting methods, which are mainly used to the rock excavation, cause public complaints due to the noise, vibration and road occupation. Therefore, mechanical excavation using vertical shaft excavation machine are considered as an alternative to the conventional methods. However, at the current level of technology, the vertical excavation machine has limitation in its performance when applied for high strength rock with a compressive strength of more than 120 MPa. In this study, the potential utilization of waterjet technology as an excavation assistance method was investigated to improve mechanical excavation performance in the hard rock formations. Rock cutting experiments were conducted to verify the cutting performance of the abrasive waterjet. Based on the experimental result, it was found that ensuring excavation performance with respect to changing in ground conditions can be achieved by adjusting waterjet parameters such as standoff distance, traverse speed and water pressure. In addition, based on the relationship between excavation performance, uniaxial compressive strength and RQD, it was suggested that excavation performance could be improved by artificially creating joints using the abrasive waterjet. It is expected that these research results can be utilized as fundamental data for the introduction of vertical shaft excavation machines in the future.

The most important thing in the 4th industry, AI era, and smart construction era is digital data. Basic data in the civil engineering field begins with ground investigation. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport operates the Geotechnical Information Database Center to manage ground survey data, including drilling but the focus is on data distribution. This study seeks to devise a plan for long-term use of the results of drilling investigation conducted for the design and construction of various construction projects. For this purpose, a pilot area was set up and a 'geotechnical design parameters digital map' was created using some geotechnical design parameters from the drilling investigation data. Using the developed algorithm, a digital map of friction angle and permeability coefficient for the hard rock stratum in the pilot area was created. Geotechnical design parameters digital map can identify the overall condition of the ground, but reliability needs to be improved due to the lack of initial data input. Through additional research, it will be possible to produce a more complete geotechnical design parameters digital map.

Recently, there has been a significant interest in the development of autonomous driving simulation environment based on digital twin. In the development of such digital twin-based simulation environment, many researches has been conducted not only performance and functionality validation of autonomous driving, but also generation of virtual training data for deep learning. However, such digital twin-based autonomous driving simulation system has the problem of requiring a significant amount of time and cost for the system development and the data construction. Therefore, in this research, we aim to propose a method for rapidly designing and implementing a digital twin-based autonomous driving simulation system, using only the existing 3D models and high-definition map. Specifically, we propose a method for integrating 3D model of FBX and NGII HD Map for the Busan EDC area into CARLA, and a method for adding and modifying CARLA functions. The results of this research show that it is possible to rapidly design and implement the simulation system at a low cost by using the existing 3D models and NGII HD map. Also, the results show that our system can support various functions such as simulation scenario configuration, user-defined driving, and real-time simulation of traffic light states. We expect that usability of the system will be significantly improved when it is applied to broader geographical area in the future.

Project management in the Construction field inherently has more uncertainty and more risks relative to ones from other area. This is the very reason for why project management is recognized as the important task to construction companies. For getting better performance in the project management, we need a system that keeps the consistencies in a automatic or semi-automatic manner through the project management stages like as project definition stage, project planning stage, project design and implementation stage. But since the early stages such as definition and planning stages has many unstructured features and also are dependent to unique expertise or experience of a specific company, we have difficulty providing systematic support for the task of these stages. This kind of problem becomes harder to solve especially in the plant construction domain that is our target domain. Therefore, in this paper, we propose and also implement a systematic approach to resolve the problem mentioned for the early project management stages in the plant construction domain. The results of our approach can be used not only for the purpose of the early project management stages but also can be used automatically as an input to commercial project management tools for the middle project management stages. Because of doing in this way, the construction project can be consistently managed from the definition to implementation stage in a seamless manner. For achieving this purpose, we adopt knowledge based inference, CBR, and neural network as major methodologies and we also applied our approach to two real world cases, power plant and drainage treatment plant cases from a leading construction company in Korea. Since these two application cases showed us very successful results, we can say our approach was validated successfully to the plant construction area. Finally, we believe our approach will contribute to many project management problems from more broader construction area.

The 500 MW Korean standard coal-fired power plant is the largest standardized power plant in Korea and has played a pivotal role in domestic power generation for over 20 years. In addition to the aging degradation due to long term operation, the probability of failure of power generation facilities is increasing due to frequent startup and stop caused by the lower utilization rate due to air pollution problem caused by coal-fired power plants. Among them, steam piping plays an important role in transferring high-temperature & pressure steam produced in a boiler to turbine for power generation. In recent years, failure of steam piping of large coal-fired power plant has frequently occurred. Therefore, in this study, failure analysis of high pressure piping weld was conducted. We identify the damage caused by high stress due to abnormal supporting structure of the piping and suggest improved supporting structure to eliminate high stress through microstructure analysis and piping stress analysis to prevent the occurrence of the similar failure of other power plant in the case of repetitive damage to the main steam piping system of the 500 MW Korean standard coal-fired power plant.
