This paper introduces alert fatigue and presents methods to measure alert fatigue by using physiological signals. Alert fatigue is a phenomenon that which an individual is constantly exposed to frequent alarms and becomes desensitized to them. Blind spots are one leading cause of struck-by accidents, which is one most common causes of fatal accidents on construction sites. To reduce such accidents, construction equipment is equipped with an alarm system. However, the frequent alarm is inevitable due to the dynamic nature of construction sites and the situation can lead to alert fatigue. This paper introduces alert fatigue and proposes methods to use physiological signals such as electroencephalography, electrodermal activity, and event-related potential for the measurement of alert fatigue. Specifically, this paper presents how raw data from the physiological sensors measuring such signals can be processed to measure alert fatigue. By comparing the processed physiological data to behavioral data, validity of the measurement is tested. Using preliminary experimental results, this paper validates that physiological signals can be useful to measure alert fatigue. The findings of this study can contribute to investigating alert fatigue, which will lead to lowering the struck-by accidents caused by blind spots.

After the study of Fujishima Gaijiro(1930), although it is common to see that the Tang-ruler(唐尺) was used in the construction of the Silla Sacheonwangsa temple(679), the basis of the discrimination of the construction measure and the detection of the unit length is not actually sufficient since conventional research was done before the excavation. The study was based on archaeological results, which was secured through the excavation research(2006~2012) of the temple site in recent years, to determine the construction measure and try to detect the unit length. In the analysis of the measured value of the ruins, the numerical data were obtained through measurements on drawings of the ruins, the tendency of conversion measure's number appearing by dividing each unit length of the Goguryeo-ruler(高句麗尺) and Tang-ruler within a certain range was compared from the Wansu-je(完數制) viewpoint. The research results are summarized as follows : 1)As a result of the analysis of the distance between the site's center, the case that conversion Cheok's(尺) number is converged to the unit of Jang(丈) within the range of unit length expresses three times more in Tang-ruler, and it is confirmed that a simple multiple relationship based on the unit of Jang is established between conversion Cheok's number. 2)As a result of analysis of Bokan(梁間) of the each Corridor site and the measured value of the stonework ruins, it could be confirmed that appears overwhelmingly in the Tang-ruler when conversion Cheok's number becomes an integer within the range of unit length. The results of the analysis are judged to be a clear basis for viewing the Tang-ruler as the construction measure of the Sacheonwangsa temple. 3)The estimated unit lengths of the construction measure that were obtained from the analysis of the distance between the site'scenter, the foundation stone center distance of the building site and the measured value of the stonework ruins are slightly different. There is a limit to the verification of the construction error about this, however it is difficult to specify, it is mentioned 294.37mm which is obtained from the analysis of the distance between the site's center.

Unlike other craft workers, construction craft workers perform their work under diverse working conditions, which means that their working pattern and postures continuously change. While construction craft workers are vulnerable to musculoskeletal disorders, due to the unique factors of their working conditions, their actual condition has not yet been accurately investigated. For this reason, this research aims to develop a method of measuring the musculoskeletal load of construction workers by reviewing various motion measuring methods to which state-of-the-art sensors are applied. This research is expected to serve as the basis for developing a system to measure the musculoskeletal load of construction workers.

At the moment, construction industry has negative images such as faulty construction, 3D industry and corruption/bribe and they are being projected onto normal people and those engaged in the industry through various news media. Not only does this worsen the lack of skilled manpower by affecting high school students who will be responsible for the construction industry in the future but also makes the future of the industry uncertain by promoting the avoidance of industrial jobs. Therefore, this study suggested basic data for improving the images of construction industry by investigating interest and images of workers in the industry that high school students think as promising construction manpower, and extracting the present negative images through evaluation of associated images.

Achieving sustainability targets on construction projects has increasingly become one of the prime strategies for construction organizations. To provide more detailed guidance on sustainability implementation on projects, Construction Industry Institute (CII) Research Team (RT) 304 developed a catalog of the Construction Phase Sustainability Actions (CPSAs). The primary objective of this paper was the development of two support tools, the CPSA Screening Tool and the CPSA Implementation Index, that could be used to enable efficient application of CPSAs, support sustainability-related decisions, and measure CPSA implementation and performance. The authors developed the tools in four stages: conceptual, detailed planning, tool programming, and testing. The tools were then demonstrated on a capital project to confirm their efficacy and applicability. This paper presents the background, inputs and outputs, and the algorithms of each tool. The CPSA Screening Tool can prioritize the CPSAs most relevant to a project; the CPSA Implementation Index enables continuous monitoring of implementation levels.

In this paper we derived fuzzy entropy that is based on similarity measure. Similarity measure represents the degree of similarity between two informations, those informations characteristics are not important. First we construct similarity measure between two informations, and derived entropy functions with obtained similarity measure. Obtained entropy is verified with proof. With the help of one-to-one similarity is also obtained through distance measure, this similarity measure is also proved in our paper.

In a very competitive construction business environment there is a need to measure and manage business performance across a wider spectrum of business success criteria. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Triple Bottom Line (TBL) reporting concepts are emerging as champions in the race for sustainable business success. The construction business organisations are often judged based on their financial performance as well as wider performance. This paper aims at developing a universally accepted tool for assessing contractors' wider business performance in the construction industry. A prototype of web-based business performance measurement system has been developed to help contractors assess their own performance aimed at uplifting their performance. The consultants/clients can also use the tool to measure contractors' performance in a value-based contractor selection. The system was developed based on the research conducted among 63 senior construction professionals and therefore further research with the participation of a large number of managers across different countries and also an upgrade of the system will be required.
