MMS (Mobile Mapping System) is being used for HD (High Definition) map construction because it enables fast and accurate data construction, and it is receiving a lot of attention. However, research on the use of MMS in the construction field is insufficient. In this study, road surveying and inspection of construction structures were performed using MMS. Through data acquisition and processing using MMS, point cloud data for the study site was created, and the accuracy was evaluated by comparing with traditional surveying methods. The accuracy analysis results showed a maximum of 0.096m, 0.091m, and 0.093m in the X, Y, and H directions, respectively. Each RMSE was 0.012m, 0.015m, and 0.006m. These result satisfy the accuracy of topographic surveying in the general survey work regulation, indicating that construction surveying using MMS is possible. In addition, a 3D model was created using the design data for the underpass road, and the inspection was performed by comparing it with the MMS data. Through inspection results, deviations in construction can be visually confirmed for the entire underground roadway. The traditional method takes 6 hours for the 4.5km section of the target area, but MMS can significantly shorten the data acquisition time to 0.5 hours. Accurate 3D data is essential data as basic data for future smart construction. With MMS, you can increase the efficiency of construction sites with fast data collection and accuracy.

A significant amount of data including ongoing construction activities, work quantities, resources utilized by contractors, and site conditions is collected in highway construction sites on a daily basis by resident engineers. This data is commonly known as daily work reports (DWRs) in the U.S. Although a lot of time and effort is invested in collecting the DWR data, its utilization has been very limited. This paper discusses current practices of collecting and utilizing DWR data among various Departments of Transportation in the U.S., and discusses the challenges and opportunities for better collection and utilization of the data. An extensive literature review and two nationwide surveys in the U.S. were conducted as a part of this study. Finally, it provides a set of recommendations to effectively address the challenges identified and maximize the benefits of utilizing DWR data such as supporting various decisions for highway project development process. The findings of this study are implementable ideas that can aid DOTs in making data-driven decisions throughout the project development processes in the future.

As data management and analysis technology advances, there is active discussion on how to utilize data generated in construction projects. Among them, the materials produced during the supervision work are highly useful because their generation cycle and format are regulated according to relevant laws. In this study, we analyzed whether the data produced during the supervision work in the construction phase of apartment housing can be utilized for project performance management. First, this study identified key data necessary for performance management through FGI with experts in the field of apartment housing. Next, we collected supervisory data from the case project and identified whether the data was generated, its cycle, and storage format. As a result of the analysis, the supervisory data contained various information that could measure the performance of construction projects and had the advantage of standardized data. In the future, utilizing supervisory data is expected to enable effective performance management of apartment housing construction projects.

A slipring or FORJ are usually adopted in order for power supply of Geo-centrifuge and input/output data acquisition. Since using slipring causes quite a lot electrical noise, an optical communication using FORJ becomes more general for data acquisition. Such data acquisition devices, however, require frequent maintenance and replacement due to deterioration by long term usage. DICT has set up a real-time wireless date acquisition system using wireless communication technology instead of FORJ. The system enables a remote measurement at any inertial acceleration field up to 100g level and provides as same performance as FORJ. The priority of this system is to use a normal modem substituting a special FORJ.

Markov chains and Monte Carlo Simulation were applied to account for the probabilistic nature of pavement deterioration over time using data collected in the field. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate pavement network performance of Western Australia (WA) by applying the existing pavement management tools relevant to WA road construction networks. Two approaches were used to analyze the pavement networks: evaluating current pavement performance data to assess WA State Road networks and predicting the future states using past and current pavement data. The Markov chains process and Monte Carlo Simulation methods were used to predicting future conditions. The results indicated that Markov chains and Monte Carlo Simulation prediction models perform well compared to pavement performance data from the last four decades. The results also revealed the impact of design, traffic demand, and climate and construction standards on urban pavement performance. This study recommends an appropriate and effective pavement engineering management system for proper pavement design and analysis, preliminary planning, future pavement maintenance and rehabilitation, service life, and sustainable pavement construction functionality.

The ordering organizations of civil engineering project manage the construction site indirectly because the construction site is mostly located at a remote location and the public official also manages many sites. Since the civil engineering project has a wide working area, it is not easy to know the status of the whole project quickly by the indirect management method by report of the field practitioner. In order to solve these problems, the field management system between the ordering organization and the field office is changing from offline to online. This study suggests an advanced construction site management system that obtains site-related 3D information with the use of UAV and shares the information between the construction site in remote locations and their supervising authorities. To develop an UAV application system, the problems of field management in many actual sites were analyzed and derived necessary functions such as status reporting and online information management. The developed system was applied to actual field to verify its usability and compared the efficiency improvement with existing field management method.

Two field research stations based upon atmospheric corrosivity monitoring combined with reinforced concrete corrosion rate sensors have been established in Kuwait. This was established for the purpose of remote monitoring of building materials performance for concrete under Kuwait atmospheric environment. The two field research sites for concrete have been based upon an outcome from a research investigation intended for monitoring the atmospheric corrosivity from weathering station distributed in eight areas, and in different regions in Kuwait. Data on corrosivity measurements are essential for the development of specification of an optimized corrosion resistance system for reinforced concrete manufactured products. This study aims to optimize, characterize, and utilize long-term concrete structural health monitoring through on line corrosion measurement and to determine the feasibility and viability of the integrated anode ladder corrosion sensors embedded in concrete. The atmospheric corrosivity categories supported with GSM remote data acquisition system from eight corrosion monitoring stations at different regions in Kuwait are being classified according to standard ISO 9223. The two nominated field sites where based upon time of wetness and bimetallic corrosion rate from atmospheric data where metals and rebar's concrete are likely to be used. Eight concrete blocks with embeddable anodic ladder corrosion sensors were placed in the atmospheric zone adjacent to the sea shore at KISR site. The anodic ladder corrosion rate sensors for concrete were installed to provide an early warning system on prediction of the corrosion propagation and on developing new insights on the long-term durability performance and repair of concrete structures to lower labor cost. The results show the atmospheric corrosivity data of the environment and the feasibility of data retrieval of the corrosion potential of concrete from the embeddable sets of anodic ladder corrosion sensors.

The construction industry highly depends on each specialized manager which is essential to successful project. However, a new employee, who has just graduated from architectural engineering college, is requested additional education for 1~2 years such as On-the-Job-Training (O.J.T) to perform his/her professional job in construction site. It is wasteful for both construction company and the employee in terms of time and cost. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the required abilities and analyze the gap of demanded abilities between field managers and students. To collect data for analysis, questionnaire which uses Likert Scale has been performed to both parts. As a result, the analysis show that the graduate's abilities related to field experience get especially low degrees in compare with non-field experience factors. These results will contribute architectural engineering education in college to make more realized.
