Under the law of Management of Apartment Complexes, the Apartment Supplier should satisfy the demands of residents for the repair of defects found in Apartment Housing. But in the cost of defect repair, the expense of resident complaints is not included, and only the actual defect repair expense is counted. So in this study, the actual use state of defect deposits for 3 years after moving in is analyzed based on the actual use data of 39 apartment complexes. The study shows that more than 50% of defect repair deposits are spent to satisfy expenses arising from complaints by residents. This is not only caused by irrational demands of residents, but also by the adoption of a stopgap policy by Apartment Suppliers.

Among deteriorations of concrete due to environmental exposure, carbonation problems of concrete structures have increased in urban and underground structures. But conventional carbonation-prediction equations that were proposed by foreign references, can not be applied directly to the prediction of carbonation for domestic concrete structures. The purpose of this study is to propose a prediction equation of carbonation depth by considering domestic exposure conditions of concrete structures. For the derivation of the equation, conventional carbonation-prediction equations are analyzed. Through considering the relationship between results of prediction equation and those of various domestic field survey data, the so-called correction factors for different domestic exposure condition of concrete structures are derived. Finally, a carbonation-prediction equation of concrete structures under domestic exposure conditions is proposed with consideration for concrete strength in core and correction factors.

이 논문에서는 호주에서 한국계 이주자가 다수 취업하고 있는 건설산업의 타일직종의 사례를 중심으로 한국계 이주노동자의 노동실태를 밝힌다. 건설현장의 사례조사를 통해 중층적 하청구조의 말단에 편성된 타일노동조직인 노무재하청업체의 작업방식 및 생산성관리, 숙련구분 및 임금결정, 임금수준 등 기타 노동조건을 구체적으로 규명한다. 그리고 이를 호주의 노사관계에서 제도화된 자영청부방식 및 자영청부공의 노동조건 등과 비교한다. 사례조사는 2006년도에 시드니지역 상업용 건축부문의 타일시공현장 두 곳을 대상으로 이뤄졌다. 두 곳의 건축현장 모두 노조가 활동하는 현장임에도 불구하고 한국계 이주 타일노동자는 공식적인 노사관계제도가 적용되지 않는 무협약상태에 있다. 건설산업의 최저 노동조건이라고 할 수 있는 전국재정 마저도 적용되고 있지 않다. 그들이 공식적인 노사관계제도의 적용으로부터 배제된 근본적인 이유는 타일회사로부터 타일시공을 다시 하수급하는 한국계의 노무재하청업체(오야까따)에 고용되어 있기 때문이다. 타일회사나 빌더는 1990년대 후반부터 다수 유입되기 시작한 한국계 타일공을 이와 같은 노무 재하청방식으로 사용하고 있는 것이다. 건설노조는 확대되는 노무재하청에 대해 한국계 타일노동자를 대상으로 한 여권조사, 임시고용비자 및 타일청부면허 취득 캠페인 등의 활동을 통해 불법취업자의 사용을 금지하는 한편 한국의 타일기능공을 자영타일공으로 전환시켜 노사관계 질서를 세우려 하였다. 그러나 이러한 노조의 활동에도 불구하고 기업협약에 의해서 명문으로 금지되고 있는 노무재하청의 관행이 전혀 개선되지 않고 있다. 노무재하청 관행에 대한 건설노조 정책의 가장 곤란한 문제점은 노무재하청을 행하는 당사자인 재하청업자를 한국계 타일노동자 조합조직의 중심으로 하고 있으며, 또 하지 않을 수 없는 점에 있음을 양국 간의 숙련구분 및 임금제도 비교분석을 통해 밝혔다.

It has been widely-reported that the quality of life in Korea is lower than that of the economic growth. In particular, construction managers are reported to have a lower quality of life compared to people in other job types due to the specific nature of the tasks they have to carry out. These include early work attendance time and fewer holidays. In this respect, the aim of this study is to analyse construction managers' requirements on work-life balance. The results showed that the working hours of construction managers were long and their leisure hours were shorter. The requirements for work-life balance were in the order of non-working time, working time, salary, and job security. The requirements by group showed a statistically significant difference in work hours. The requirements on the shortening of work hours were highest in the group of "section chiefs and deputy heads" and lowest in the group of "department heads" and up. It is hoped that the results of this study will be used as basic data for future government-level policy making and construction companies' business directions in relation to the improvement of workers' work-life balance.

The quality certification for recycled aggregate is governed by the Construction Waste Recycling Promotion Act, overseen by the Ministry of Environment. The specific criteria for this certification are detailed in the Regulations on Quality Certification and Management of Recycled Aggregate, a mandate of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport. These regulations were initially enacted on April 10, 2006, and have undergone a total of 16 revisions to date, the most recent being on December 23, 2021. This paper delves into the revision history of these pivotal regulations pertaining to quality certification over the past 17 years, with a particular focus on the latest revision, which encompasses significant changes, including those in follow-up management. This analysis aims to aid stakeholders in the recycled aggregate sector, including 402 certified companies, in comprehensively understanding the government's strategic direction for quality certification and to encourage the recycling of construction waste by bolstering the quality certification process.

The warranty liability period for defects in apartment buildings by work type is not based on scientific analysis, making the appropriateness of the term a culprit behind the lawsuits. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the appropriateness of the warranty liability term of apartment buildings by identifying the current status of defects, in particular, caused by finishing works. That is because the number of defects, caused during the finishing works, accounted for the largest portion of the total defect cases of apartment buildings reported to the Apartment Defect Dispute Mediation Committee under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport of Korea between 2010 and 2011. The result from analyzing claims for defect repairs of the finishing works showed that most cases by work type continued to be made after two years, and only about 60% were charged within the warranty period. And, defects by work type have correlation, which needs to be considered for a better construction technique. Considering a low correlation between the possibility of defects and the construction performance rankings, which are highly relevant to the apartment preference. It is believed that there needs to be a qualification process for agencies that actually performs finishing works.

Ready-mixed shotcrete that mixed with high quality aggregate and can improve construction quality is produced in a dry mortar plant and transported to construction sites. Because of using aggregate that produced in a special plant, Ready-mixed shotcrete has many advantages : good grain-size distribution, minimum stone powder, high quality and standardization material, etc. In this basic study different from the existing study that limited to additive and accelerator, the improvement of aggregate quality was tried to upgrade the shotcrete performance. The investigation about the construction conditions of shotcrete was performed and the result of an opinion poll was analyzed for a good grasp of the problems in domestic shotcrete quality. Pilot Plant Test was also performed to minimize the material segregation in plant manufacturing process. In additions, the field test was performed to find the optimum contents of synthetic fiber, appearing the same flexible toughness with that of steel fiber, and to find the optimum replacement ratio of blast furnace slag.

It is required to study systematical on the concrete quality management to extend structure life because rebuilding effect is reducing under present condition of large sized and high stories structure. Concrete, which shows its intensity by hydrating action and a big change in quality according to hot weather and temperature, produces a lot of quality problem under hot and cold weather. Because of each specification and construction plan which does not have basic standard on site, concrete's quality is irregular and makes some defect. As a result, Dae-gu is fumed out to be the longest area after investigating application period and days focused on 8 cities weather information about t relationship between hot weather circumstance and construction environment. Therefore, we first surveyed the curing construction processing in the region and found out the problem of quality management. Then figure out the way of solution. Moreover, we integrated curing quality management, which is applied differently to each site, to have equal quality and to reduce defect from construction site. And then, based on various test of construction condition and analysis of quality management item, we suggest effective concrete quality management to make curing construction standard guide and plan under hot weather.
