One major development in bridge life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) in recent years is to develop deterioration model for bridge components so that the times of repair/replacement throughout a component's life span can be properly determined. Taiwan also developed her own bridge LCCA model in 2003, integrating with the bridge inspection database in the local bridge management system (T-BMS). Under the framework of the local LCCA model, this study employs the reliability method in developing a deterioration model of bridge components. A component deteriorates through time in its reliability, which represents the probability of a component's condition index exceeds a user specified threshold. Model assumptions and rationale are described in the paper. The steps for applying the developed model are explained in detail. Results and findings are reported.

Pavement cutting work frequently occurs in new building construction, reconstruction, and complex construction, and this work causes a lot of noise and dust. Eco-friendly pavement cutters are being developed to reduce noise and dust in this work, however the on-site cutting performance of the equipment under development has not been quantified. In this study, the eco-friendly pavement cutter was applied to four residential areas in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, and its cutting performance was quantified. As a result of the analysis, the eco-friendly pavement cutter showed cutting performance of 20.1~46.9sec/m, and the average was 33.5sec/m. In the future, we plan to conduct additional cutting experiments with various mixing ratios, materials, and depths to confirm the performance of eco-friendly road cutters in more detail.

Noise, dust, etc. caused by road pavement cutting work, which frequently occurs in new construction or reconstruction of buildings, construction of complexes, etc., are environmental hazards and cause civil complaints. Recently, an eco-friendly pavement cutter is being developed to make the work low in noise and dust, however, the on-site cutting performance of the equipment has not been quantified. In this study, in order to derive a standard value for comparing the cutting performance of the eco-friendly cutter under development, a conventional pavement cutter was applied to four residential sites in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, and the cutting data was collected. As a result of analyzing the collected data, the conventional pavement cutter showed a cutting performance of 12.3 to 20.2 sec/m, and the average was 27.2 sec/m. In the future, additional cutting experiments with various mixing ratios, materials, and depths are planned to confirm the performance of conventional pavement cutter in more detail.

In many parts of the world, low cost housing used to be built and maintained by the governments, based on designs and detail specifications prepared by the public sector with construction carried out by contractors. Results vary due to differences in design standards, workmanship and property management, depending also on the neighbourhood's care of the estates and their pattern of usage. In the UK, where Private Finance Initiative (PFI) has been used for infrastructure projects, there have been successful cases of city estate being transformed by PFI. These PFI housing schemes involve new-build, refurbishment as well as facility management. Unlike traditional construction, which is based on prescriptive specifications, PFI housing is based on output specifications. A study has been undertaken to compare the two specification approaches as they are applied to housing estate. Results are enlightening and serve as good reference to cities such as Hong Kong SAR and Singapore, where public housing provisions have been a major concern of their citizens as the building stock gets older.

This paper presented the results of cyclic loading tests of 7 full-scale beams to column subassemblages with improved connection detail i.e., fillets of the stiffening plates at the column corners and ends of the stiffener-to-beam flange weld. Major findings from the test results were: (1) Fillets reduced the stress concentrations that may cause early brittle fractures and considerably improved the cyclic performance compared to the detail without fillets. (2) As the width of the stiffening plate increased, the stiffness and peak strength increased and energy dissipation capacity decreased. (3) While all specimens failed by a fracture, they could develop a total rotation of 0.04 radian required for special moment resisting frames.

This study is aimed at developing of the sustainable interface module for structural design. It is dealt with the Midas/Gen for analysis and design and Tekla Structures for Building Information Modeling. In this research, it is improved the applicability and function of the existing interface module developed by authors. Although model information was functionally well linked by the existing module in both directions, the applicability is limited due to the difference of attributes between structural analysis model and structural detail model. In this study, we analyzed the problems that occur in existing module. We have developed the interface module to solve the problems and improved the applicability of the existing module.

This study investigated the typical standards of B kind of standard specification related to home and abroad forms design and compared them, and the results can be summarized as follows. In case of domestic standards, regulations on most forms design was described relatively in detail. and in case of CTEA among them, it included detailed contents of load conditions, lifting and subsidence. In case of abroad standards, the design regulations are only simply mentioned, not in detail, in ACI, CEB-FIP and BS, and JCI and JASS were similar to domestic KCI and KASS regulations. As to structural calculation in forms design regulations, most of domestic regulations included detailed matters on structural calculation, among them, CTEA shows the most detailed matters on it. On the other hand, it could be known that in case of abroad standards, most standards do not include matters on structural calculation except ACI, JCI and JASS.

In architecture projects, BIM library has widely been using for prefabrication of products and design process. However, since the shape of structures is different by each project in civil engineering projects and a shape representation system is complicated, it is not easy to develop a standardized BIM library. To solve these issues, this study develops BIM library based on standardized 2D shop drawings for civil structures. The standardized shop drawings, which are the targets of the BIM library model, should be first selected. Besides, in order to define modeling scope with the level of general and shop drawings for each structure, LOD(Level of Detail) and breakdown structure are determined, and development methods of families of 3D object type including 2D profile and rebar through commercial software are established. With these, properties of BIM library are configured, and a utilization model of the BIM libraries is constructed for 3D modeling and a simulation using the BIM library. Therefore, this study can identify properties that are necessary when IFC schema is configured for civil engineering projects. For future, it is expected that easiness of BIM design for the civil engineering projects and generation, management, and analysis system of BIM library for road projects will be secured.

Blockchain is a distributed ledger that combines technologies such as cryptography, consensus mechanism, peer-to-peer transmission, and time stamping. The rapid development of blockchain has attracted attention from all walks of life, but storage scalability issues have hindered the application of blockchain. In this paper, a scalable blockchain storage model based on Distributed Hash Table (DHT) and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) was proposed. This paper introduces the current research status of the scalable blockchain storage model, as well as the basic principles of DHT and the InterPlanetary File System. The model construction and workflow are explained in detail. At the same time, the DHT network construction mechanism, block heat identification mechanism, new node initialization mechanism, and block data read and write mechanism in the model are described in detail. Experimental results show that this model can reduce the storage burden of nodes, and at the same time, the blockchain network can accommodate more local blocks under the same block height.
