The purpose of this study is to derive the risk factors that occurred during the construction of the temporary aircraft runway and to analyse the risk costs and loss costs. For this purpose, actual construction data made during the construction of the aircraft runway were investigated. And the risk factors that occurred during the construction work were derived. So the increased construction costs and loss costs due to risk factors were analyzed. The results of this study are as follows: 1)The number of risk factors that occurred during the construction of the aircraft runway was derived from eight. 2)It was calculated that the total risk cost of 5.2million won, the risk cost of the owner's should be 243 million won and the cost of the contractor should be 277million won. 3)Owner's was up 2.36% from its planned budget and the contractor lost -277million won out of its planned profit of 443million won, resulting in a residual profit of 165million won. The results of the study are used as a reference for estimating risk factors and contingency that should be considered in aircraft runway construction.

This study aims to analyze the benefit-cost of the cleaning device for photovoltaic power generation systems in buildings in order to check its economic feasibility. A product, which has similar characteristics to the ultrasound-based cleaning device and is widely used in South Korea, was selected to compare with the benefit-cost value of the ultrasound-based cleaning device in this study. In order to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze benefit and cost aspects of the two products, categories and evaluation factors of each aspect as well as evaluation criteria were identified. Based on the identified evaluation factors and criteria, this study conducted face-to-face interviews with 15 experts to measure weights of benefit and cost aspects of the products. As the results, the total benefit weight of the ultrasound-based cleaning device was larger than its total cost weight since the benefit-cost value was greater than 1, which was 1.6 times of that of to compared product. Therefore, from the economic perspective, it is worth to develop the cleaning device for photovoltaic power generation systems applying ultrasound technology.

Because of the shortage of construction workers due to The rising labor costs and an aging labor force, construction time has been extended. As a solution, The construction time of high-rise buildings can be reduced by adopting precast concrete construction methods. Most relevant studies have focused on the development and structural analysis of such methods and not on their construction management. Therefore, this study focused on the construction management of the hollow precast concrete column (HPC) method. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of HPC formulations through the analytic hierarchy process and benefit-cost analysis. After a gap analysis of the available literature and expert interviews, the evaluation criteria were selected. A questionnaire survey was administered to professionals with ample experience in precast concrete construction for the pair-wise evaluation of the benefit and costs of the HPC method. The results show that the benefits of the HPC method outweighed its costs. Therefore, the HPC method is a suitable substitute for the half-slab method.

Nowadays, the enormous information from each industry has been brought out. According to the advanced information technology, those data have been useful to the point of Cost & Time in the domestic construction industry. Due to the temporary characteristics of construction industry, the various information have only been used just one time and not recycled. There are few studies for the use and management of construction information. Compared with other stages in project life-cycle, the construction stage includes the most important and various information from field. It will be desirable that one should study for developing the use of construction information. With this thesis, this study suggests the conceptual classification model for construction information management.

현장 대지구조의 측정과 분석은 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 접지시스템의 설계와 시공에 매우 중요하며, 특히 대지 구조의 분석은 접지방식의 선정과 시공에 있어 절대적인 요소이다. 현장 측정 대지저항률의 실제적 분석을 통해 더 정확한 접지설계와 접지의 효율성을 높일 수 있으며, 시공 후 접지성능의 설계 오차를 최소화할 수 있게 된다. 대지는 다양한 형태의 지층과 구조로 이루어져 있으며, 접지설계의 신뢰성과 정확성은 대지 조건을 얼마나 현장 지질 조건에 가깝게 모델링 하는가에 달려있다. 현장 대지구조 및 지질 특성에 가깝게 분석하여 적용된 접지 설계는 시공 오류의 최소화, 성능의 안정화 그리고 비용의 절감은 물론 운용 설비의 운용 품질을 높여 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 현장에서 측정된 대지저항률을 수직 지층와 수평지층 구조로 분석하여 그 결과를 비교하였고, 분석된 각각의 구조 대지저항률을 적용하여 접지시스템을 설계 비교하였다. 또한 설계된 접지시스템을 현장에 시공하여 측정된 결과값을 수직구조의 접지 설계치와 수평구조의 접지 설계치를 비교하므로써, 이를 통해 대지구조의 유형분석에 따른 접지설계의 신뢰성과 오류를 최소화하기 분석방안을 제시하였다.

This study was conducted to analyze the actual utilization rate of the deposit for defect repair of apartment complexes and its influential factors. We analyzed the data on enforced defect deposit cases by using one-sample t-test, Pearson's correlation analysis, and simple linear regression analysis. The difference between the deposit amount specified and the enforcement amount actually disbursed was found to about 0.51%. The change rates for short-term costs amounted approximately to $839KRW/m^2$ and 130,000 KRW/household per year, and those for long-term costs were $647KRW/m^2$ and 123,207 KRW/household per year. The results warrant the need for further research on establishing a deposit amount based on actual statistical data.

Financial difficulties and claims frequently stop construction works and cause subsequent contract cancellations. However, as the criteria to assess costs have not been established, many cases of legal disputes over the assessment of cancellation costs are taking place and the concerned parties are suffering the loss of time and money. Therefore, the present research aimed at developing a rational and systematic model of cancellation cost assessment following the cancellation of contracts. The research was carried out in the following methods and scopes. 1 ) The research was focused on the assessment of fair cancellation costs from constructors' side for contracts cancelled by any causes for which the owners have liability. 2) To obtain basic materials about cancellation cost assessment methods, contracts, claims, contract cancellations and construction-related laws at home and abroad were examined. 3) A cost assessment model was developed for systematization and efficient operation of cancellation cost assessment, and the reliability and efficiency of the proposed model was verified through a case study. The conclusions drawn from the research are as follows. The importance of the cancellation cost assessment model was confirmed as, using the cancellation cost assessment model, direct cancellation cost and indirect cancellation cost could be assessed systematically, the number of disputable items could be reduced because reasonable evidences of actual spending were presented, and the loss of constructors could be minimized because systematic and rational cost assessment became possible for many disputable cases of indirect cancellation cost, which the constructors had been unable to prove so far though having spent.

The work of constructing apartment housing involves various fields of industry that are linked to each other, and is based on a design document prepared by multiple technicians and architects. Consequently, design errors, material flaws or faulty construction works can cause defects, which sometimes overlap with each other. Construction companies should repair any defects found in a completed building within a specified period of time, and to do this, should establish a business plan by efficiently predicting the cost of defect repair. As it is very difficult for companies to accurately predict the occurrence of defects, historical performance data is used as a base. For domestic apartment housing units, data on the cost of defect repair is insufficient, so there are hardly any methods that can be used to make precise predictions. Therefore, the intent of this study is to develop a model that can predict the cost of defect repair by supply type and area, based on historical performance data with ten years worth of post-completion.

Construction equipment is a very important factor for successful construction. Also, the cost for construction equipment is a major part of the cost of construction. Therefore, the estimation of the equipment cost is a critical task in construction planning. A formula for production rates shown in 'Standard Unit Labor' has been used to estimate construction equipment capability and cost. Although the performance of the equipment has improved over time, the variables in the formula have not been updated in a timely manner. Therefore, this paper has analyzed the preceding research, and performed several site visits to measure the cycle time of a backhoe and a loader. Construction equipment production rates were calculated with collected cycle times and variables given in 'Standard Unit Labor'. In addition,production rates were estimated considering the circumstances of various sites with the simulation program 'crystal ball.'

The main purpose of this study is to identify the tasks performed at the construction stage of apartment houses and analyze the major construction tasks that may affect the performance indicators and analyze the impact on project performance. Based on expert opinions through preliminary research, pilot data, construction database, and other research trends, domestic and foreign research trends are divided into five major tasks, and each is divided into process management (P'1 ~ P'6), construction management (C'1 ~ C'5), environmental management (E'1 ~ E'4), quality control (Q'1 ~ Q'5), safety management (S'1 ~ S'5). Subsequently, each major task was subdivided into 24 detailed tasks. An independent t-test was conducted to analyze the impact on cost. We compared the importance of achieving the project goal and identified the construction work of concrete important construction which affects not only the cost but also the schedule performance index for the degree of significance of less than 0.05.
