The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of applying BIM to the construction phase on preventing rework. Previous studies have presented the contribution of BIM in various ways, but a more practical and reliable analysis methodology are required. In this study, a BIM effect analysis methodology was proposed after collecting requirements on BIM effect analysis from field professionals. In the case study, the rework prevention effect was analyzed based on the proposed methodology. As a result, it was found that BIM application produced the rework prevention effect of approximately KRW 370,519,593. In addition, a consultation with field professionals on the suitability of the proposed methodology and effect analysis results were revealed that the results were sufficiently reliable. The results of this study can be used as efficient basic materials for research on BIM performance measurement in the future.

Due to the limitation of construction efficiency and structural safety, the application of the high covering and wide width tunnels was limited prior to the introduction of precast cut and cover tunnels. Therefore, a cut and cover tunnel structure with rib reinforcement is proposed to mechanically improve the safety on condition of high covering and wide width tunnel. In this study, large-scale experiments are carried out to examine the mechanical behavior of the cut and cover tunnel structure with rib reinforcement under static load condition. Based on the results obtained from this study, the ultimate load of tunnel structure increases to about 3.3 times by rib reinforcement. Consequently, safety of tunnel structure increases compared to non-installed cases due to confining crown part by rib reinforcement.

When planning gripper TBM, which is highly applicable to urban areas, the excavation characteristics are not considered. In addition the excavation stability and constructability are degraded by installing reinforcements in the adjacent construction site considering the relaxation load theory of the pre-existing NATM. In this study, a rationalization plan for the support was proposed considering the excavation characteristics of gripper TBM when planning reinforcements for adjacent pre-existing construction. The effect of excavation on the surrounding ground was analyzed by conducting three-dimensional stability analyses considering the construction stage for each excavation phase. In NATM, relaxation phenomenon is concentrated in tunnel face due to non-supporting time occurring simultaneously with excavation, but gripper TBM supports the ground around the tunnel face through the cutter head and skin plate, simultaneously causing ground relaxation behind the skin plate. Considering these excavation characteristics, problems in reinforcement planning for adjacent construction at the study site were pointed out. A performance improvement plan for a reasonable supporting system was proposed.

Unlike a completed building, a building under construction may be at risk in terms of safety if a load exceeds the value considered in the design stage owing to various factors, such as a load action different from that in the design stage and insufficient concrete strength. In addition, if an earthquake occurs in a building under construction, greater damage may occur. Therefore, this study studied example models with various sizes of 5, 15, 25, and 60 floors for typical building types and analyzed the effects of seismic load on buildings under construction using construction-stage models according to frame completeness. Because the construction period of the building is much shorter than the period of use after completion, applying same earthquake loads as the design stage to buildings under construction may be excessive. Therefore, earthquakes with a return period of 50 to 2,400 years were applied to the construction stage model to review the seismic loads and analyze the structural performances of the members. Thus, we reviewed whether a load exceeding that of the design stage was applied and the return period level of the earthquake that could ensure structural safety. In addition, assuming the construction period of each example model, the earthquake return period according to the construction period was selected, and the design appropriateness with the selected return period was checked.

Many Studies of tunnel and tunnelling safety have been developed continuously based on the increasing social interests in underground space since 1990's in Korea. Because the growth of population in metropolitan has been accelerated at a faster pace than the development of the cities, underground facilities have been created as a great extent in view of less land space available. In this study, a lot of types of tunnel failure were surveyed and the detail causes were studied after many cases of tunnel failure were collected. There were suggested brief countermeasure of tunnel failure through case study. An expert system was developed to predict the safety of tunnel and choose proper tunnel reinforcement system using fuzzy quantification theory and fuzzy inference rule based on tunnel information database. The comparison result between the predicted reinforcement system level and measured ones was very similar. In-situ data were obtained in three tunnel sites including subway tunnel under Han river. This system will be very helpful to make the most of in-situ data and suggest proper applicability of tunnel reinforcement system developing more resonable tunnel support method from dependance of some experienced experts for the absent of guide.

In this study, the applicability of geotextile mesh soil nails on slopes was evaluated by numerical analysis to reduce environmental problems which a general soil nailing might produce and to improve its economical efficiency and construction convenience. To this end, in situ pull-out tests were conducted for both general soil nail and geotextile mesh soil nail and their pull-out characteristics were analyzed. Also, finite difference method was used to verify the suitability of numerical simulation. Parameters for nail and ground conditions were selected and sensitivity analysis was performed for the evaluation of slope stability. In addition, analysis was performed by limit equilibrium method which is widely used for slope stability analysis in practice. As a result, if the nail diameter was same, there is no big difference between geotextile mesh soil nails and general soil nails in terms of slope stability. Therefore it can be expected that geotextile mesh soil nails could be effective for slope reinforcement since they could keep a slope as stable as general soil nails and give better economical efficiency and construction convenience than general soil nails.

현제 도시유역의 산업화와 도시화로 인해 유역 내 불투수면적의 증가는 직접 유출량 증가, 지하수자원 고갈, 침투량 감소, 증발산량의 감소 등의 물 순환 체계의 변화를 가져왔다. 이러한 도시 유역 내 물 순환 체계 변화를 개선하기 위해 여러 국가에서 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID)의 개발 및 도입이 진행되고 있다. LID는 분산형 빗물관리 시설로써 유역 내 소규모의 LID 요소기술을 대상유역에 적용하여 강우유출수를 저류, 체류, 방지 및 처리하는 시설을 의미한다. LID는 궁극적 목표로 계획단계에서 개발이전의 수문기능을 유지하기 위해 보전, 영향최소화, 유출이동시간 유지, 추가유출량 감소, 오염발지에 초점을 맞추어 계획된다. 현제 LID의 성능 및 적용성에 대한 다양한 연구가 진해되어지고 있으나, LID 요소기술별 시공 비용, 유지관리 비용, 강우유출수 저감효율, 비점오염원 저감효율, 적용위치 등의 다양한 인자를 복합적으로 고려하여 LID요소기술별 적용성 평가를 수행한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 LID 요소기술 중 나무화분 여과장치, 옥상녹화, 빗무정원, 투수성포장, 침투트렌치, 빗물통, 식생수로 등의 총 7가지 LID 요소기술을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. LID 요소기술의 적용성평가를 수행하기 위해 시공비용, 유지관리비용, 강우유출수 저감효율, 비점오염원 저감효율, 적용위치 등의 촐 5가지 평가인자를 Entropy 방법을 이용하여 평가인자별 가중치를 산정하였다. 이후 다기준의사결정 방법 중 PROMETHEE 방법을 이용하여 LID 요소기술의 우선순위를 산정하였다. 현제 PROMETHEE 방법을 이용하여 LID 요소기술별 우선순위를 산정한 결과 옥상녹화가 첫번째 우선순위로 분석되었으며, 침투트렌치, 나무화분여과장치, 투수성포장, 식생수로, 빗물통, 빗물정원 순으로 분석되었다. 따라서 국내에 LID를 적용할 경우 옥상녹화, 침투트렌치, 나무화분 여과 장치 등의 LID 요소기술의 적용성 및 기대효과가 클 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 국내의 모든 지역을 대상으로 적용하기에는 문제가 있으며, 국내 LID 요소기술 적용 시 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 대상지역별 신뢰도 높은 LID 요소기술 적용성 평가를 위해서는 대상유역 내 시공된 LID 요소기술을 계측하여 비점오염원 및 우수유출수 저감효율, 시공 비용, 연간 유지관리 비용을 분석하여 평가를 수행되어 한다고 판단된다.

Concrete placement work is executed using temporary structures such as formwork, support, etc. The temporary structures could collapse when they are not properly supported, and need to be monitored for structural safety. This paper introduces a USN (Ubiquitous Sensor Network)-based monitoring system that are being tested at the Pusan National University for increasing structural safety. The system takes advantage of ubiquitous technologies together with a variety of sensors, which allows for wireless transmission of construction monitoring data. The temporary structures are constantly monitored to find out whether the structures are being supported in a stable condition. A field test is being conducted to acquire data, and use them for evaluating the safety condition of the construction operation.

Due to the limitation of construction efficiency and structural safety, the application of the high covering and wide width tunnels was limited prior to the introduction of precast rut and cover tunnels. Therefore, a cut and cover tunnel structure with rib reinforcement is proposed to mechanically improve the safety on condition of high covering and wide width tunnel. Therefore, a technical problem that can provide a response similar to the actual filling conditions is analyzed by the finite element analyses, moreover, the mechanical behaviour of developed rib-reinforced precast tunnel liner through a large-sized model test will be investigated. The ultimate load of the developed rib-reinforced precast tunnel liner shows a 3% reduction compared to existing rib-reinforced precast tunnel liner, especially, the section of rib-reinforcement decreased to 55% compared to it of existing. Therefore, the stability of tunnel structure can be significantly improved through the developed rib-reinforced precast segment.
