During concrete placement, the partially distributed load due to the concrete placement paths creates the lateral force in the connection parts of the shore. In order to restrain this lateral force, the nails must be used in the upper and lower connection parts of shores. But, for the convenience of the construction and dismantling of the shores, the workers hardly use the nails. In this case, the connections of shore cannot resist the shear force and rotation. And this situation may cause the collapse of form-shore system. Therefore, contact and spring models for the connection analysis of the form-shore systems are required. If we take into account this construction situation, we need to understand the effects of shear and rotation stiffness according to the several types of connection parts in shores as a case study. This study evaluates the shear and rotation stiffness of the connection parts of shores according to the variations of the lengths, numbers and positions of nails, and then presents the experimental results depending on the end conditions of shores. And, these results can be used as a spring model and critical load evaluation data for the connection analysis of form-shore system.

Hollow Core Slab is a very efficient system that can reduce weight and its use has increased. Void slab is a concrete slab that has voids substituted with void material. Because of its saved volume of concrete, void slab can reduce weight of slabs. Also, it can't only save concrete but also can reduce carbon-emission. However, because of the unclear bearing strength at the part of void substituted with voiding material, several problems occur in constructing field. In this study, void slab including void material was built and local bearing strength test was carried out for 3 types of load(truck load, support load and Jack support load). As a result, bearing strength of void neck and upper void material is more than allowable load. And also, bearing strength of specimens with using deck and not using deck are also over allowable loads.

In rapid cycle construction, RC structure which is not cured fully can be loaded with construction load and this construction load can influence on the safety of construction and cracks on slabs. Therefore, to reduce the term of construction, the safety of construction and prevention of cracks should be assured against construction load. In the previous study, temperature load can significantly influence on the behavior of structure under construction. However, existing construction sequential analysis or design code do not consider temperature load reasonably. In the present study, through construction sequential analysis method using FE analysis, the behavior of structure under construction was analyzed according to temperature changes. According to the results of analysis, as the temperature falls, shoring load drops and the temperature rises, shoring load rises. These variations of shoring load can affect the safety of construction. Moment of slab goes up by fall in temperature. This increase of moment can cause cracks on the slab. Therefore to assure the safety on construction and prevent cracks on slabs, temperature load has to be considered reasonably in construction sequential analysis.

In recent years, many construction projects become large and complicated, and construction accidents also steadily increase, which grows interest in the safety and maintenance during construction. Many of the construction accidents are related to temporary construction and structures, but the safety evaluation and management during construction are unclear and indefinite due to the short operating period and continuous change in the formation of the temporary structure. The system support, which is one of the temporary structures to support the pouring load of concrete, was proposed to easily install and dismantle members with connection parts pre-manufactured. The use of the system support is increasing to improve the safety of the temporary structure during construction. However, the system support, which consists of multiple members, still has uncertainties in connectivity between members and supports of vertical members. Therefore, this study analyzed the structure, load, and accident cases of the system support to define the damage scenarios for member connection, support condition, and lateral displacement. The decrease rate of the critical load was analyzed according to the damage scenarios based on the defined unit structure of the system support. In addition, this study provided vulnerable members for each damage scenario, which could induce instability of the temporary structures during design, construction, and operation of the structure.

System support is a facility that is temporarily installed to support vertical loads at construction sites, and is assembled and installed by reused individual members. These characteristics are likely to lead to poor performance of installed system supports, and even though it is institutionalized to check structural safety at the their design phase, accidents continue to occur at the construction site. Accordingly, safety management of system support is implemented through various institutional methods, but the current system does not consider the performance degradation of temporary facilities due to the reuse of individual temporary members. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify the performance of assembled system support. In order to do achieve this purpose, the authors divided individual system supports into unused and used groups and performed compression performance test with defined models assembled with those two groups of system supports. The results of this study are expected to be meaningful as a research case that can quantitatively evaluate safety systems and standards for the performance of existing temporary facilities and suggest directions for improving the safety management system of temporary facilities in the future.

During concrete placement, the formwork structure supports the weight of concrete mass. The complexity of the operation can cause concentrated workloads, which in turn brings about a collapse of the temporary structure. As a countermeasure, the operation needs to be constantly monitored to maintain safety and prevent accidents. This paper presents a USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network)-based safety monitoring system for formwork construction. The system takes advantage of ubiquitous technology in monitoring the behavior of the formwork structure such as deflection, load weight, and tilting. The collected data are sent to the host computer wirelessly for real time monitoring. The data can be then compared with the allowed limits on guidelines. The comparison can indicate whether the concrete placement operation is executed in a safe condition.

To avoid arbitrary design and excessive braces of system supports with high reusability in the field, this study aimed to propose connection conditions for the vertical and horizontal joints of the system supports based on performance evaluation. Disk-type and pocket-type connection materials, widely used in domestic construction sites, were selected for evaluation of rotational stiffness based on load directions(vertical and horizontal) and loading methods (monotonic and cyclic). Contrary to the current design standards specifying a rotational stiffness of "0" for connection materials, the experimental results revealed that, contrary to the current design standards specifying a rotational stiffness of "0" for connection materials, all specimens exhibited rotational stiffness values. The maximum rotational stiffness was observed to be 19.624 kNm/rad in specimens subjected to repeated loading in the vertical direction using disk-type connection materials.

Long-term behavior analysis considering construction sequence should be performed in the design and the actual construction of reinforced tall buildings. Most of the analytical studies on this subject, however, has not been applied directly to the structural design and the construction caused by the simple approach. As the axial force redistribution of shores and columns is time-dependent, the actual construction sequence with the placement of concrete, form removal, reshoring, shore removal, and the additional load application is very important. Object-oriented analysis program considering construction sequence, especially time-dependent deformation in early days, is developed. This system is composed of input module, database module, database store module, analysis module, and result generation module. Linkage interface between the central database and each of the related module is implemented by the visual c# concept. Graphic user interface and the relational database table are supported for user's convenience.
