The shear wave velocity ($V_s$) has been commonly used to evaluate the dynamic properties of soil. The field $V_s$ probe (FVP) was already developed to assess the shear stiffness of a soft clay. The objective of this study is to investigate the disturbance effects of the FVP due to the penetration. The laboratory tests are conducted in a large-scale consolidometer (calibration chamber). The reconstituted clay is mixed at the water content of 110% using a slurry mixer. The FVP and down-hole test are carried out every 1cm interval to compare the data. In addition, two square rods with transducers are also implemented to get the reference value. The shear waves evaluated by the FVP, dow-hole tests, and reference rods are closely matched. This study suggests that the disturbance effect of the FVP due to the penetration into the soft clay soils is small enough and the $V_s$ evaluated by the FVP reflects well the in-situ characteristics. Furthermore, the combination of the FVP and down-hole test shows the possibility of hybrid equipment.

Various soil characteristics for safe construction is necessary to understand the tests using the samples collected, and head in place an energy evaluation is conducted to evaluate the ground. In-Situ testing ground, Rod length and around the intrusive when the energy loss due to friction has been measured only in the head. Abstract The purpose of this agreement when increasing contract area of Rod agreement to transform the energy attenuation and the attenuation at the energy being delivered to evaluate. To this end, the same material used in the field test, laboratory test to apply Rod diameter and length have been considered, designed to perform the experiment was to use the Rod. Energy that raised at head of Rod, was increased and decreased by contracting type. The energy difference occurs in the head with the tip that shows the energy rating may be required at the tip is showing. Abstract The energy evaluation for the Rod field test to be at the basic sources and will be able to calculate the trusted information are measured from the tip.

In the design of industrial chimneys and towers, structural engineers must assume a level of the inherent damping in the structures. In order to better estimate the dynamic response of those structures, actual damping was measured from wind-induced vibration signals of chimneys and towers and its characteristics with respect to the response levels, the structural systems, and the wind direction were discussed. Damping ratio and natural frequency for three chimneys and two towers were calculated using random decrement technique.

Tornadic wind flow is inherently turbulent. A turbulent wind flow is characterized by fluctuation of the velocity in the flow field with time, and it is a dynamic process that consists of eddy formation, eddy transportation, and eddy dissipation due to viscosity. Properly modeling turbulence significantly increases the accuracy of numerical simulations. The lack of a clear and detailed comparison between turbulence models used in tornadic wind flows and their effects on tornado induced pressure demonstrates a significant research gap. To bridge this research gap, in this study, two representative turbulence modeling approaches are applied in simulating real-world tornadoes to investigate how the selection of turbulence models affects the simulated tornadic wind flow and the induced pressure on structural surface. To be specific, LES with Smagorinsky-Lilly Subgrid and k-ω are chosen to simulate the 3D full-scale tornado and the tornado-structure interaction with a building present in the computational domain. To investigate the influence of turbulence modeling, comparisons are made of velocity field and pressure field of the simulated wind field and of the pressure distribution on building surface between the cases with different turbulence modeling.

In recent years, the number of female workers pursuing careers in the construction engineering and management field has increased, despite the fact that the job positions have been traditionally considered as retaining job functions and/or qualities that are more appropriate to male than female. This may be attributed to the fact that the positions also require delicate and/or detail-oriented job functions, which can be successfully performed by female. It is important for project participants to understand the working conditions for female field managers by analyzing their job performance. This study collects expert opinions regarding female's managerial performance on job site. Survey questionnaires were administered to two focus groups, male and female field managers who work for general contractors. This study contributes to encouraging female's social and economic involvement by investigating the challenges they face in the workplace, and provides measures to respond to such challenges.

건축공사 현장에서 공사관리를 수행하는 현장관리자의 작업능력은 프로젝트의 성공여부에 많은 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 연구는 국내 건축공사 현장관리자의 작업능력에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 한다. 작업능력은 작업능력지수를 통해서 측정하였으며, 직무스트레스는 한국형 직무스트레스 측정도구를 통해서 측정하였다. 현장관리자의 작업능력은 직무스트레스가 높을수록 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 운동, 종교보유도 현장관리자의 직무능력에 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 현장관리자의 작업능력을 향상시키는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Due to increasing competition of construction companies, it is required to optimize the management of construction projects and "lean" concepts are rapidly spreaded in construction industry. Steel work accounts for a large proportion in construction work, and a variety of attempts to efficiently perform steel work has currently made. And since rebar (Engineer-to-Order) can be engineered through design once order is placed, it gives the great impact on construction, thus, entire management is required. The purpose of this study is to present the method to increase the efficiency of field processing method of steel work in terms of lean construction. Once we examine process of steel work and identify the flow, we would like to analyze which processes should be improved through value analysis approach and present the improvement plans. Also, this study examines cases of field processing and factory processing, and it identifies the waste factors in the procurement process. Finally, this study would like to present the result of analysis from the perspectives of value. The rebar delivery process is divided into several steps and the duration of every step is surveyed. Using duration data, VAT (Value added time) can be calculated for analyzing the efficiency of the process.

In apartment housing construction, window frame installation work, which is conducted after the structural framework, is very important, because its completion time directly affects the starting time of successive interior finishing works, as well as the overall construction period. Construction delays in interior finishing works might occur due to problems inherent to the conventional window frame installation method, such as the poor verticality of window frames, and the water leakage around them. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the problems of a 'Gangform integrated PVC window frame pre-installation method' based on its pilot test results. Next, this study proposes an improved conceptual model that enables the end users to enhance the field applicability of this method in terms of productivity, time, and cost. The field applicability of the proposed 'Gangform integrated PVC window frame pre-installation method' was also verified through a survey.

Problems solved by the TRIZ method have been developed and applied in many fields ranging from management as well as engineering. Most of the problems occurring in the construction site should be applied immediately. To solve the problem of building engineering, formulation of the problem solving process using the TRIZ method is needed. This study classified and analyzed the problem solving process of architectural engineering technology in accordance with the procedures of TRIZ, and showed the case of solving problem in the field and the availability of TRIZ theory in architectural engineering. This paper shows that the TRIZ theory can be used as a tool for creative problem solving and cost reduction in architectural engineering.

Selection of finishing materials in the design stage is an important management factor in terms of use safety and satisfaction, and work cost and process. However, selection of materials in the design stage is usually conducted without related guidelines or a set process, but depends on the experience of the architect or advice of materials company employees. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a finishing materials selection process that can be used by a architect. Materials selection related rules collected through interview with experts and five office building cases were used as knowledge. In addition, another aim of the study was to propose a prototype system interface for use in the field.
