This paper presents some measures far the optimization of the thermal behavior of linear motors, which are used as a high speed feed mechanism in machine tools. Thermo-Sandwich-Construction using two cooling circuits and an insulation layer shows an effective cooling system for linear motors. Conducting sheet can be also used to reduce heat flow from linear motor to machine table. Cooling pipe is a simple and effective cooling system for the secondary part of synchronous linear motor. Through the combination of the Thermo-Sandwich-Construction, conducting sheet and cooling pipe the thermally optimized linear motor shows a well improved thermal behavior in comparison with the prototype motor.

Recently, according to the increasement of high-rise building construction and domestic situation, requirements of rapid cycle construction are increasing. For more economical and rapid cycle construction, it is required to reduce formwork cost. So formwork have to be stripped as soon as possible. But as fresh concrete is loaded with construction load, it is likely that the structure will have problems with safety and serviceability. To reduce construction cycle economically, safety and serviceability of structure against construction load have to be considered. But as behavior of structure under construction is so complicated, behavior of structure has to be investigated according to construction stage. Therefore, through field instrumentation of apartment, behavior of structure under construction was analyzed.

In this study, Corrosion behavior in mortar was observed by the passage of time by using EIS method. As a result of EIS experiment, equivalent circuit and changes of Impedance parameter could be observed. In addition, it was confirmed that impedance of rebar in mortar and corrosion rate according to the amount of NaCl were different.

Leakage in the structure due to the irregular flow of groundwater in the underground structure penetrates into internal spaces such as underground parking lots and basement through underground walls, which is expensive in terms of maintenance of the building. In this study, various composite waterproofing methods installed on the outer walls of underground structures were selected to evaluate the structural performance of composite specimens due to bending behavior through experiments and analysis on bending test behavior on concrete attachment surfaces.

A significant portion of residential areas of Turkey is located in active earthquake zones. In Turkey occurred major earthquakes in last twenty years, such as Erzincan (1992), Kocaeli and $D{\ddot{u}}zce$ (1999), $Bing{\ddot{o}}l$ (2003), Van (2011). These earthquakes have demonstrated that reinforced concrete (RC) buildings having horizontal and vertical irregularities are significantly damaged, which in turn most of them are collapsed. Architectural design and arrangement of load-bearing system have important effect on RC building since architectural design criteria in design process provide opportunity to make this type of buildings safer and economical under earthquake loads. This study aims to investigate comparatively the effects of weak story irregularity on earthquake behavior and rough construction costs of RC buildings by considering different soil-conditions given in the Turkish Earthquake Code. With this aim, Sta4-CAD program based on matrix displacement method is utilized. Considering that different story height and compressive strength of concrete, and infill walls or their locations are the variables, a set of structural models are developed to determine the effect of them on earthquake behavior and rough construction costs of RC buildings. In conclusion, some recommendations and results related to making RC buildings safer and more economical are presented by comparing results obtained from structural analyses.

This paper presents the findings relative to the influence factors on the safety of construction worker's actions. It identifies the factors which are involved in the safety behavior exercised by construction worker. They are compiled from existing studies that investigates the factors relative to the safety behavior. This study finds some factors which have powerful direct effects on safety behavior of construction workers. In addition, a model which defines the relationship between the factors and the behaviors of workers is established to analyze the effects. This study contributes to designe a theoretical model that shows workers' behaviors and analyzes the effects attributed to these factors: i.e., organizational commitment, stress reaction, safety motivation, safety knowledge, and safety climate. Survey questionaries are administered to the workers on the construction job sites located in Daegu metropolitan city. using SPSS18.0 and AMOS18.0, Exploratory Factor Analysis, Cronbach's alpha, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Structural Equations Model analysis were performed. The research findings are as follows; The communication and educational training have the direct effect on the safety behavior. The factors of the safety climate constraints and/or contributes to the safety motivation, safety knowledge, and organizational commitment.

The concrete structure hasn't perfect waterproofing performance but if it doesn't have a joint part that could isolate a permeability. Concrete structure(communication tunnel and underground structure) has an expansion joint and construction joint. There are a lot of joint type after construction or expansion, shrinkage, vibration, over load, performance of decline etc.. they offer a water of way by variety change. In this reason, It carries in effect a waterproofing work for the concrete structure of waterproofing. but the structure has a behavior that cause a problem by waterproofing layer of damage, heaving phenomenon, temperature of shrinkage. In this study, we will estimate a field of application for Sealer of injection type for leakage maintenance of construction standard on the waterproofing performance.

The purpose of this study is to examine the causal relationship between self-efficacy and safety consciousness of health belief factors and how they affect the disaster prevention behavior of construction workers using TBM. To this end, a research model is presented that applies the main variables of the Health Belief Theory, a social psychological health behavior change model developed to predict and explain health-related behaviors. To empirically verify the research model of this study, a survey was conducted among construction workers who have experience in using TBMs for chemical plant construction. The results showed that, first, the perceived severity of construction workers utilizing chemical plant construction has a significant effect on self-efficacy and safety consciousness; second, the perceived probability of construction workers utilizing chemical plant construction has a significant effect on self-efficacy and safety consciousness. Third, the perceived obstacles of construction workers utilizing chemical plant construction have a significant effect on self-efficacy and safety consciousness. Fourth, the perceived benefits of construction workers utilizing chemical plant construction were found to have a significant effect on self-efficacy and safety awareness. The purpose of this study is to reduce critical accidents through disaster prevention behavior of chemical plant construction workers through TBM.

EPS provides a superb self-sufficient stability. Studies on the process of EPS construction method focus on the inchoate phase of general construction, which is increasingly applied to construction sites throughout the world. Unfortunately, there has been little study on the durability and long-term soil behavior involving EPS materials. In this study, the boring, in-site and laboratory tests were conducted to examine the long-term soil behavior in the back-filling of alternating behind the side to which EPS was applied. And results of finite element analysis considering various test results and the soil behavior data measured during the construction show that EPS construction method is a superb process that relieves the load and consequently reduces the settlement, alleviates the stress on the abutment, and prevents lateral flow.
