기후변화로 인해 집중호우, 돌발 홍수 및 태풍의 규모가 대형화되고 있고, 이에 따른 수재해 피해 사례도 증가하는 추세이다. 특히 건설 현장 중 굴착공사 현장에서의 침수로 인한 사고는 인명피해로 이어질 가능성이 더 크기 때문에 더욱 주의가 필요하다. 하지만 현재 국내에서 실질적으로 굴착현장에 적용하기 위한 침수 대응 예측 시스템 및 구체적인 침수 예경보 체계, 기준, 매뉴얼은 존재하지 않는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 굴착공사현장의 수재해 예방을 위한 침수 예·경보 시스템의 적용방안을 제시하였다. 또한 경제적이고 효과적인 측면을 고려하여, 공사현장 규모에 따라 적용하는 침수 예·경보 시스템을 이분화하여 소규모 공사현장에는 Track A, 대규모 공사현장에는 Track B 침수 예·경보 시스템을 적용하도록 제안하였다. 이러한 이유는 소규모 공사현장의 특성상 전체 공사비가 작고 운영되는 장비와 인력이 제한적이므로 침수 예·경보에 필요한 비용과 인력 투입이 어려울 수 있기 때문이며, 또한 대피가 필요한 전체 인원이 대규모 현장에 비해서는 적기 때문에 비교적 신속하고 원활한 대피가 가능할 것이라고 판단하였기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 각 시스템별 적절하다고 판단되는 예·경보 기준을 제시하였다. Track A에서는 강우법에 의한 최소한의 경보시스템으로 필요한 안전목표를 달성할 수 있도록 고려하였고, Track B에서는 현장인원 대부분이 성인 남성임을 고려하여, 성인 남성의 부상을 유발할 수 있는 수심(H)과 유속(V)의 곱을 척도로 하는 한계 H·V곡선을 기준으로 운영되는 경보시스템을 제안하였다.

As increase of the land price at downtown area, it makes people more and more interested of improving the space utilization such as makes buildings bigger, deeper and higher. Therefore, the importance of the underground construction which is the basic principle has been increased. As constructors have to complete underground construction as soon as possible with the minimum costs, they concentrate on the whole process of underground structure. Although they makes every these efforts, construction failure still happen because of the uncertainty of the condition of soil and the unexpected danger of underground construction. To make matter worse, there are only some examples without detailed information like 'how much this breakdown damage to the construction?' so it is the anther problem that most of people doesn't recognize the economical negative impact of underground structure breakdown. This report would make people understood the importance and risk of the underground construction by showing some analysis which was assumed from the real accidents.

The accident rate is obtained by dividing the number of accidents by the number of regular workers. In the case off construction work, however, the accident rates are not accurately figured out, because they use the approximate number of regular workers, which is estimated based on the amount of construction work and the labor ratio. In addition, the current accident rate estimation method does not reflect the characteristics of construction types, such as building, civil, plant, etc. This study is conducted with the aim of presenting a supplementary method of accident rate assessment that incorporates the characteristics of type of construction. For the purpose of this, correlation and regression analysis are executed to verify the relationships between number of accidents and the amount of construction contract, and several equations are derived which shows the relationship between the number of accidents by accident types and amount of constract by construction types. The result shows that the non-residential work amount and the number of accidents showed a proportional relationship, while the civil work amount and the number of accidents showed an inversely proportional relationship. The results of this research are expected to calibrate the construction accident rates and to be used as an auxiliary indicator to determine the trend of annual accident rates by comparing the values with usual years.

This study was conducted for the purpose of presenting basic data for calculating a more reasonable landscaping project cost in the future through the construction cost calculation ratio of scenic planting and facilities and their time series trend analysis targeting 'J' corporation, a representative Korean public institution that creates apartment complexes. This study targeted scenic planting and the facility construction costs of 37 apartment complexes in the capital area from 2004 to 2012, using statistical analysis methods such as technical analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis to analyze the characteristics of the time series change. The conclusion was drawn as follows. First, breaking down the cost of overall landscaping projects to scenic planting and facility construction, the ratio of the average cost of scenic planting to that of facility construction showed 56.1% to 43.9% from 2004 to 2012. Second, the costs of planting construction and facility construction both showed a fluctuation range of about ${\pm}3%$, implying relatively steady costs considering the inflation rate. Third, the landscape construction cost for each type of construction resulted in a fluctuation range from minimum ${\pm}3%$(exercise facility) to maximum ${\pm}5%$(packing facility), reflecting that among the landscaping projects, the facility construction costs tended to show relatively large fluctuations in accordance with the change of time series. Fourth, the comprehensive indication of the ratio of landscaping project costs by time series and landscaping construction type implies that the regional characteristics and positional condition of the apartment complexes were not reflected sufficiently. Fifth, the high level of correlation of landscaping construction types and landscaping construction elements imply that the entire construction costs were controlled through partial adjustment of cost components within the overall frame of construction cost. These results reveal the problems of standardized landscaping cost irrespective of user satisfaction or environmental traits such as the conditions of the apartment complexes.

A modular specification is a contract document that specifies the requirements of production, transformation and installation in a modular construction. A problem of the currently used specification is that it does not guarantee the level of performance required by the modular construction and fails to accommodate unique characteristics of each construction because it widely uses the standard specification as it is. This study proposes a specification that reflects the unique feature of modular construction in order to improve the quality of modular construction. Research focuses on the leakage in waterproof and mechanical equipment because it is the area with the highest rate of defects. This study suggests ways to improve the modular specification as follows: 1)Descriptive specifying (following MasterFormat) 2)Propose leakage verification method and test clause 3) Reflect characteristic of modular construction. Proposed modifications to modular specification are reviewed by experts for validation and their opinion verifies suggested improvements as a way to secure the quality of modular construction and to promise characteristics of the modular specification. This improvement will be used for reference when writing construction project specification, which can be an important contract document, so that it could lower occurrence rate of the modular defects.

This paper tries to analyze how the governance institutions of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey overcome agent problems in public agencies based on the Principal-Agent Theory, and find the implications that will be helpful to the governance of port authorities in Korea. The Port Authority's governance is characterized by decentralization of personnel rights, open meetings policy, freedom of information policy, public hearings, and fiscally self-supporting system. Those characteristics are helpful in overcoming the agent problems of public agency, such as adverse selection, moral hazard, and complicated external structure, through reinforcing of monitoring agent by principal, easing of information asymmetry between principal and agent, and clarification of organizational ownership structure. Those characteristics may give many implications for the design of governance structures of port authorities in Korea.

The procurement of public construction, which has been selected mainly on the basis of the work experience of a department of public agencies that award construction contracts or those in charge of ordering, has not been executed through an objective selection process considering the construction types or characteristics. Thus, as a preliminary study on developing a model for the selection of contract methods, this study intends to analyze and present the key factors affecting the selection of procurement methods in public construction. Through a literature review on the existing methods, foundational factors were first presented, based on the analysis of these factors, the final influence factors were proposed. As a result, 6 factors contractor's characteristics, the environment of the construction market, relevant organization, the characteristics of a project, costs, and responsibility factors were determined, and 14 sub-factors were selected. The factors presented in this study will be used as base data for developing a decision making support model for the selection of contract methods in public construction.

This study examines the implementation process of landscaping projects in Japanese colonial era focusing on landscaping of Keijo Imperial University and draws conclusions as follows. First, landscaping of Keijo Imperial University in Japanese colonial era progressed based on Hoegyebeop and it provides important materials including the floor plan of the garden, detailed statement and other documents required for the construction. Second, it was all Japanese enterprises that took part in landscaping of Keijo Imperial University and the construction progressed under a private contract by lowest-price contract-awarding system after five enterprises' submitting estimates. Third, according to the floor plan for the landscaping, the garden had a shape of a quadrant and its boundaries were utilized as side gutters and connected to a drainage system. Fourth, though the floor plan doesn't clarify specific names of trees, detailed statement shows sorts of trees of the time. Trees of Chosun were plentifully introduced due to regional features and pines were the most expensive one when they were voluminous. This study has significance that it conducts an empirical research on main materials and techniques of landscaping projects in Japanese colonial era.

In recent years, the specialized construction industry has undergone major construction and major industries, and without considering the technical expertise of construction works, the construction industry is promoting the integration and establishment of specialized construction industries according to convenience and abolition of their own industries. As the reorganization plan causes confusion in the production structure and lacks persuasive power by aiming only for industry simplification, it is judged to be desirable to review it according to the detailed characteristics of the specialized construction industry. In this study, -to review the reorganization of a rational classification system that considers the specific nature of the specialization of specialized construction projects, the classification of construction works, major work contents and characteristics, technical expertise, and problems of largescale industry in the case of painting construction and landscaping construction was analyzed. Based on this, aspects to be considered when reorganizing the current professional construction industry classification system are identified and reasonable improvement plans for each industry are suggested.
