  • Today, there is a growing need of environment-friendly buildings, so-called 'green', facilities, and energy saving buildings to decrease environmental pollutants released into cities by construction activities. Green-Building Information Modeling (Green-BIM) is a purpose-built solution which supports to forecast energy consumption of 3-D model of a building by augmenting its primary 3-D measurements (width, height and depth) with many more dimensions (e.g. time, costs, social impacts and environmental consequences) throughout a series of sequential phases in the lifecycle of a building. The current study was carried out in order to integrate vegetation systems (particularly green roof and green wall systems) and investigate thermal performance of the new Sainsbury's building which will be built on Melton road, Leicester, United Kingdom. Within this scope, a 3-D building model of the news Sainsbury's building was first developed in $Autodesk^{(R)}$ $Revit^{(R)}$ and this model was then simulated in $Autodesk^{(R)}$ $Ecotect^{(R)}$once weather data of the construction site was obtained from $Autodesk^{(R)}$ Green Building $Studio^{(R)}$. This study primarily analyzed data from (1) solar radiation, (2) heat gains and losses, and (3) heating and cooling loads simulation to evaluate thermal performance of the building integrated with vegetation system or conventionally available envelops. The results showed that building integrated vegetation system can potentially reduce internal solar gains on the building rooftops by creating a 'bioshade'. Heat gains and losses through roofs and walls were markedly diminished by offering greater insulation on the building. Annual energy loads for heating and cooling were significantly reduced by vegetation more significantly through the green roof system in comparison to green wall system.

  • The construction of super tall building which structure is RC and must be certainly considered on column shortening estimation and construction reflected concrete creep has been increased. Regarding the Fck 60~80MPa grade high strength concrete applied in the domestic super tall building project, the mechanical properties and creep deflection according to curing conditions(Drying creep/Basic creep) were reviewed in this research. Results of compressive strength and elastic modulus under sealed curing condition were 5% higher than unsealed condition and difference of results according to the curing condition was increased over time. Autogenous and drying shrinkage tendency showed adversely in the case of high strength concrete. Additionally, creep modulus under unseal curing condition was evaluated 2~3 times higher than sealed condition. Modified model of ACI-209 based on test result was applied to estimate long period shortening of vertical members(such as Core Wall/Mega Column) exactly, it is designed to modify and suggest the optimal creep model based on various data accumulated during construction, in the future.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of applying BIM to the construction phase on preventing rework. Previous studies have presented the contribution of BIM in various ways, but a more practical and reliable analysis methodology are required. In this study, a BIM effect analysis methodology was proposed after collecting requirements on BIM effect analysis from field professionals. In the case study, the rework prevention effect was analyzed based on the proposed methodology. As a result, it was found that BIM application produced the rework prevention effect of approximately KRW 370,519,593. In addition, a consultation with field professionals on the suitability of the proposed methodology and effect analysis results were revealed that the results were sufficiently reliable. The results of this study can be used as efficient basic materials for research on BIM performance measurement in the future.

  • Productivity analysis is the most important and significant method for evaluating management and engineering performance during whole project stage. However, it is very difficult in developing qualitative index to construction industry comparing to other industries. Therefore, analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is one of the methods for overcoming these limitations by checking consistency index using duality comparison. In this study, it is scraped up an application plan and selection for innovative tools by analyzing survey results on tool users and site managers with respect to using Modified-AHP performance measurement method.

  • In this work, as a preliminary experimental works, which focuses on utilizing separated pastes from activated (or radioactive) concrete as solidifying agents for radioactive waste immobilization, were performed. It was found that density of hydrated cement paste, which was lower than that of ordinary portland cement, increased as temperature for heat treatment increased. Highest compressive strength was observed with the specimens that was heat treated at $600^{\circ}C$. However, heat treatment over $700^{\circ}C$ showed higher CaO content that caused higher heat of hydration after in contact with water, lows of workability, and lower strength. Based on experimental results, it is suggested that $600^{\circ}C$ heat treatment is more appropriate for waste cement paste to be used as a solidifying agent.

  • In subway or road construction, the vibration caused by various construction equipments influences gas pipelines directly or indirectly Especially buried gas pipelines are influenced by the blast occurred near the pipeline buried Place. To analyze vibration response of buried gas pipeline caused by blasting works, the nonlinear behavior of ground is realized by applying equivalent linear analysis. According to the results of this analysis, the acceleration response values of gas pipeline are close to the measured values and the occurring time of peak values are agreed to the measured values. Thus, It is concluded that conventional seismic analysis mechanism can be applied to the dynamic analysis of buried gas pipeline.

  • In this study, we examine the feasibility of using chlorine in clinker as an early-strength cement by the effect of accelerating the cement hydration reaction of chlorine. Clinker with a chlorine content of 200-1,000 ppm was prepared using actual cement kilns, and 46 cement samples were prepared by adding gypsum and admixtures(GGBFs and limestone). We measured consistency, setting, 1-28 days compressive strength and analyzed them statistically. Test results indicated that an increase of the chlorine content resulted in shortening of initial and final setting time and the improvement of 1 day compressive strength. But the 28 days compressive strength was decreased. Specifically, when the chlorine content was increased from 230 to 965 ppm, the 1 day compressive strength increased up to 4.6 MPa, improvement effect was superior to that of increasing Blaine in the range of 3,400-3,970 cm2/g.

  • Construction industry is one of the largest markets for composite materials. Composite materials are mostly utilized as surface coatings or concrete reinforcements, and they can hardly be found as a load bearing member in buildings. The three-dimensional composite structures with considerable bending, compressive and shear strengths are capable to be used as construction load bearing members. However, these composites cannot compete with other materials due to higher manufacturing costs. If the cost issue is resolved or their excellent performance is taken into consideration to overcome disadvantages related to economic-competitive challenges, these 3D composites can significantly reduce the construction time and result in lighter and safer buildings. Sandwich composite panels reinforced with 3D woven glass fabrics are amongst composites with highest bending strength. The current study investigates the possibility of utilizing these composite materials to construct ceilings and their application as slabs. One-to-one scale experimental loading of these composite panels shows a remarkable bending strength. Simulation results using ABAQUS software, also indicate that theoretical predictions of bending behavior of these panels are in good agreement with the observed experimental results.
