Quantity takeoff and cost estimates in Korea are carried out in practice without any clear standards or standards. Especially, quantity takeoff of Reinforcing bar and BoQ documentation process is very complex using 2D drawings. In this study, 10 case sites were analyzed for the status of inefficient quantity takeoff and how the statement was prepared. In order to solve this problem, this study presented a method for calculating the quantity of rebars through the ratio of concrete volume for schools, offices, and apartment buildings, and analyzed the accuracy of results. In the future, it is expected that the error range can be reduced by defining the factors affecting the results and calculating the correction value for them.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of solid reinforced concrete columns with triangular reinforcement details. The proposed reinforcement details has economic feasibility and rationality and makes construction periods shorter. A model of solid reinforced concrete columns with triangular reinforcement details was tested under a constant axial load and a quasi-static, cyclically reversed horizontal load. A computer program, RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology), for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures was used. The used numerical method gives a realistic prediction of performance throughout the loading cycles for several test specimens investigated. As a result, proposed triangular reinforcement details for material quantity reduction was superior to existing reinforcement details in terms of required performance.

As building structures are becoming high-rise, large-scale, and specialized, the use of high-strength materials increase. Therefore, an analytical model is necessary to appropriately predict the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with high-strength materials. This study presents a truss model which is able to reasonably predict the shear strength of the RC beams having high-strength steel bars. Test results of 107 RC beams reported in the technical literatures were collected to check the validity of proposed model, TATM, for the shear strength of the RC beams with high-strength reinforcing bars. They were compared to theoretical results obtained from proposed model, TATM, and existing truss models. The experimental results were better predicted by TATM rather than other truss models, and the ratios of experimental results to theoretical results obtained from TATM were almost constant regardless of the yield strengths of tension and shear reinforcements.

In this paper, the 1/5 scale models of the reinforced concrete colunms were designed and fabricated. The influence of the number of blasting holes on the exposed length of steel bars and vertical load was investigated. The relation between the length of steel bar and the number of blasting holes was examined by performing the blast tests considering the vertical load on the scaled reinforced concrete columns. Weight of scaled column models by blasting and that of exposed was compared with the number of blasting holes. Finally, based on the exposed length of steel bars and vertical load, the number of blasting holes were calculated. Results shows that the number of blasting holes calculated in this study are suitable for scaled structure models test by blasting demolition.

The minimum reinforcement ratio is an important design factor to prevent a brittle failure in RC flexural members. A minimum reinforcement ratio is presented by assuming an effective depth of cross-section and moment arm lever in CDC and KHBDC. In this study, it suggests that a rational method for minimum reinforcement ratio is calculated by material model and force equilibrium. As results, a minimum reinforcement ratio using a p-r curve in KHBDC is evaluated about 52~80% of recent design code's value and it induces an economical design. And also, a ductility capacity in case of placing this minimum reinforcement amount is evaluated about 89% of recent design code's value, but ductility in a member is 7 or more, so it has a sufficient ductility capacity. Therefore, it is judged that a minimum reinforcement ratio using p-r curve has a theoretical rationality, safety and economy in a flexural member design.

Reinforcing steel work plays an important role in terms of its structural performance or weight of construction cost for reinforced concrete structures. Precise estimation of re-bar quantity gives a basis for managing the reinforcing steel work effectively. However, the estimation process is still performed ineffectively based upon the expert's experience or manpower in spite of the advanced technology or improvement efforts. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop a prototype system for taking-off the quantity of reinforcing steel bars quickly and accurately in an order consistent with the specific members identified on the drawings. An estimate algorithm considering the connection, settlement and coating thickness of re-bars was suggested regarding to their replacement conditions which places more emphasis on constructibility. Also, this system produces the shop drawings automatically with the calculation results.

This research is a park of a research program to develope a new design method for reinforced concrete bridge columns under axial load and cyclic lateral load. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the relationship between curvature ductility and displacement ductility and to propose a correlation equation for designing of reinforced concrete bridge columns under axial load and cyclic lateral load. Computer program NARCC was used for parametric study, which was proved to provide good and conservative analytical result especially for deformation capacity and ductility factor compared with test result. A total of 7,200 spirally reinforced concrete columns were selected considering the main variables such as section diameter, aspect ratio, concrete strength, yielding strength of longitudinal and confinement steel, longitudinal steel ratio, axial load ratio, and confinement steel ratio. A new equation between curvature ductility factor displacement ductility factor with the aspect ratio was proposed by investigation of 21,600 data produced from the selected column models by applying 3 different definitions of yield displacement.

Ensuring accuracy within tolerance is crucial for a marking robot; however, rebar displacement frequently occurs during the structural work process, necessitating corrections to layout lines or rebar locations. To guarantee precision and automation, the marking robot must be capable of measuring rebar error and determining appropriate adjustments for marking lines and rebar placement. Consequently, this study proposes a method for measuring rebar location error using a LiDAR sensor and implementing a layout assessment process based on the measurement results. The rebar recognition experiment using the LiDAR sensor yielded an average error of 5mm, demonstrating a reliable level of accuracy for wall rebars. Additionally, this research proposed a process that enables the robot to evaluate rebar and marking corrections based on the error range. The findings of this study can contribute to the automated operation of marking robots while accounting for construction errors, potentially leading to improvements in structural quality.

Recent advancements in Building Information Modeling(BIM) have significantly impacted the construction industry, driving competitiveness and innovation. However, rebar construction, a critical component influencing project quality and cost, has lagged behind in BIM adoption. Traditional methods relying heavily on 2D drawings for rebar detailing have hindered efficiency and introduced potential errors. This paper presents a novel system designed to automate the detailed modeling of rebar, thereby promoting BIM integration within rebar construction and optimizing construction management processes. The system leverages confirmed structural drawings from the post-structural design phase to automatically generate intricate rebar models for columns and beams. To ensure adherence to domestic structural design standards, the system is developed using C# programming language and the Revit API. By automating rebar modeling, this system aims to minimize human error, reduce labor-intensive tasks, and enhance overall rebar construction efficiency through the effective utilization of generated rebar model data.
