The purpose of this study is to improve construction cost, time, and field management when constructing a road on soft soil foundation by eliminating extra-banking of subgrade layer after completion of the consolidation process. The subgrade layer was pre-constructed before the soft ground improvement. And then it was confirmed by the field test that the compaction effect was maintained or not after consolidation settlement. As a result of the experiment, all subgrade layers were kept constant except for the top subgrade layer. So it would be advantageous to secure economical and practical in road construction if subgrade layers were constructed exclusive of the top subgrade layer.

The application of robot technology on construction sites is recognized an effective solution to the problems caused by labor shortage on the construction industry, and relevant studies are being carried out increasingly. Automatic construction system for frames of high-rise building was developed in Japan in 1990's. Practical use o F the system, however, was failed due to inefficiency Now, we are developing economic and practical automatic construction system that is lighter and suitable for building construction In Korea. This study has discussed developing the system of construction factory and climbing control system, which is the core technology of the automatic construction system in Korea.

In the present study, a ground heat exchanger was installed for each heat source in the system at the site to evaluate ground heat conductivity, constructability, and economic feasibility; the factors considered in the study included ground heat, groundwater, fillers (such as bentonite and pea pebbles) and the shape of the heat exchange pipe (e.g., U and D-U). The aim was to determine the ground heat exchanger appropriate for the geothermal system in the 3rd-phase construction of Incheon International Airport. A comparative cost analysis of the initial costs based on the above information showed that although the initial costs of the regular vertical closed loop-II and modified vertical closed loop were lower than those of the regular vertical closed loop-I, they could not be expected to deliver high economic efficiency from the viewpoint of constructability (filler injection, heat exchange pipe insertion). The initial costs proved to be higher in the case of Geohil.

The importance of the life cycle cost (LCC) analysis for bridges has been recognized over the last decade. However, it is difficult to predict LCC precisely since the costs occurring throughout the service life of the bridge depend on various parameters such as design, construction, maintenance, and environmental conditions. This paper presents a methodology for the optimal life cycle cost design of a bridge. Total LCC for the service life is calculated as the sum of initial cost, damage cost, maintenance cost, repair and rehabilitation cost, user cost, and disposal cost. The optimization method is applied to design of a bridge structure with minimal cost, in which the objective function is set to LCC and constraints are formulated on the basis of Korean Bridge Design Code. Initial cost is calculated based on standard costs of the Korea Construction Price Index and damage cost on damage probabilities to consider the uncertainty of load and resistance. Repair and rehabilitation cost is determined using load carrying capacity curves and user cost includes traffic operation costs and time delay costs. The optimal life cycle cost design of a bridge is performed and the effects of parameters are investigated.

최근 우리나라는 건설업의 산업재해자수가 '91년 이후 지속적인 감소 추세이지만 선진국에 비해서 아직 높은 편이다. '96년 건설업의 평균 재해율은 0.81％이며, 사망자수는 전 산업에서 29.5%에 이르는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 심각한 건설업의 산업재해는 공사 자체의 위험성이 높은 특수성도 있지만, 가설공사에 대한 인식 부족으로 인한 낮은 투자가 원인이라고 볼 수 있다. 건설현장의 재해를 줄이고 시공의 안전성을 확보하기 위해서는 가설공사의 적정한 투자비용을 근원적으로 확보하여야 할 것으로 생각된다. (중략)

Efficiency and efficient management on maintenance/repair/operation (MRO) phase is getting important with advance in technologies and complex functionalities of building and facility. Using software systems as well as advanced hardware systems in MRO area is spreading along with this trend to take advantage of information technology. Information of building and facility for MRO phase is derived from engineering/procurement/construction (EPC) phase. But most current commercial software systems in EPC and MRO are focusing on their own phase, which arise lack of consistency of information from EPC to MRO phase. But, the information system now used at the MRO phase stop flowing the building and the facilities information and then newly create. Moreover, from all asset management point of view, asset particulars such as the structures and equipments are different the value fluctuation. In order to reflect these information rationally, the construction costs are correctly distributed and the initial price of the asset particulars have to be estimated. In this study, develop the information model which can apply the cost information at the EPC phase to the MRO phase.

본 고는 도로선형 설계에 확율 및 경제요소를 반영시키는 방법과 그에 따른 효과를 파악하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 접근방법은 도로사용자 비용과 도로시공 및 유지관리 비용 등을 포함하는 총비용을 예상비용함수로 나타내어 이 비용함수를 최소화함으로써 최적 도로선형 설계방법을 찾는 것이다. 이와 더불어 본 고는 이 개념에 의한 최적 설계방법을 등반차선(Climbing lane)의 설계에 적용하였다. 즉, 오르막길의 경사 및 거리에 따른 등반차선의 최적 위치를 찾기 위해 우선 오르막길에서의 승용차와 트럭의 속도분포를 찾아내고 예상예비함수를 등식화하여 그 최적해를 구함으로써 등반차선의 최적 위치를 구하였다. 현재 등반차선의 설계과정(AASHTO, 1984)은 트럭 주행능력에 따른 가정과 트럭과 승용차의 최대 속도 차이를 임의로 선택하여 등반차선의 최적 위치를 찾고 있다. 따라서 본 고에서는 기존 등반차선 설계방법과 새로운 설계방법을 상호 비교하면서 새로운 방법의 타당성과 그에 따른 설계이점들을 증명하였다.

하천을 횡단하는 교량은 하천의 배수위를 증가시키는 중요한 요인으로 작용한다. 더욱이 산지 하천에 시공된 교량은 유송잡물에 의한 폐색으로 인하여 교량 직상류부에 홍수피해를 가중하는 역할을 하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 교량 재가설에 따른 경제적 타당성을 검토하고자 교각에 집적되는 유송잡물에 의한 배수위만이 홍수범람을 일으키는 원인으로 가정하여 제방고 이상의 홍수용량이 범람한 상황을 고려하였다. 이러한 홍수량이 유역내에서 어느 정도의 피해를 입히는지에 대하여 다차원 홍수피해 산정방법에 의거 교각의 개수를 줄임으로써 저감할 수 있는 침수피해액을 산정하였다. 그리고 교량의 재가설을 위한 개략공사비를 비용으로 보고, 재가설에 따라 저감할 수 있는 침수피해액을 편익으로 산정하여 비용-편익 분석을 실시한 결과 합리적으로 교량의 경간장을 확보하는 방안을 마련할 수 있었다.

Heavy equipment is a very important factor for successful construction implementation. Also, the cost for heavy equipment is a major part of construction cost. Therefore, the estimation of equipment cost is a critical job in the construction planning phase. A formula for production rates shown in 'Standard Unit Labor' has been used to estimate construction equipment capability per hour and cost. Although the performance of equipment has been improved, the efficiency rates in the formula are not updated lately. Therefore, this research performed several site visits to measure construction equipment working time and then calculates the efficiency rates for hydraulic backhoe, loader, and dump truck. The results show that the measured efficiencies of backhoe and loader are higher than current ones and vice versa for dump truck. This research proposes the needs for a standardized calculation formula and systematic and long-term data collection and measurement for updating efficiency rates for heavy equipment.
