  • Fugitive dust, which accounts more than 50% of fine dust, is an air pollutant, that is generated by a lot in construction work(29.5%) and the law provides standards for facility installation and measures to control this. However, small-scale construction sites are not subject to management standards, and the law to measure and manage fugitive dust generated from construction sites is insufficient. In this paper, we designed and implemented the method to easily measure and monitor fugitive dust using the digital optical method for turbidity of dust. We presented the method to measure the turbidity of fugitive dust using the digital optical method and measured the actual turbidity of fugitive dust at the construction sites after implementing the fugitive dust measurement system.

  • Background: Health and safety (H&S) on a construction site can either make or break a contractor, if not properly managed. The usage of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for H&S on construction execution has the potential to augment practitioner understanding of their sites, and by so doing reduce the probability of accidents. This research explores BIM usage within the construction industry in relation to H&S communication. Methods: In addition to an extensive literature review, a questionnaire survey was conducted to gather information on the embedment of H&S planning with the BIM environment for site practitioners. Results: The analysis of responses indicated that BIM will enhance the current approach of H&S planning for construction site personnel. Conclusion: From the survey, toolbox talk will have to be integrated with the BIM environment, because it is the predominantly used procedure for enhancing H&S issues within construction sites. The advantage is that personnel can visually understand H&S issues as work progresses during the toolbox talk onsite.

  • Recently, the issue of construction safety is growing. In the construction industry, accidents have continued to increase since 2000. In particular, the number of accident deaths at small and medium-sized construction sites accounts for 72.11% of the total number of accident deaths in the construction industry. For construction safety, prior safety evaluation systems such as Design for safety and safety management plan preparation are in place. However, at construction sites, these systems are recognized as formal legal documents, and their effectiveness is greatly reduced. Therefore, in this study, a linkage model that links design safety review information and safety management plan information was presented so that the safety management plan can be efficiently established. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed process was verified as an example of actual work. The linkage model will contribute to improving the safety management environment at the site by increasing the productivity of safety management work by enabling easy sharing of risk factor information in the construction stage safety management work. The results of this study will be used as basic information for the development of the integrated safety management system.

  • The development of artificial intelligence in the field of construction and construction is revitalizing. The performance and development techniques of artificial intelligence are changing rapidly, but if you look at the cases of domestic construction sites, they are using technologies from 5 to 7 years ago. It is right to follow a stable method in consideration of commercialization, but the previous AI development method requires more manpower and time to develop than the current technology. In addition, in order to actively utilize artificial intelligence technology, customized artificial intelligence is required to be applied to ever-changing changes in construction sites. it is the reality As a result, even if good AI technology is secured at the construction site, it is reluctant to introduce it because there is no advantage in terms of time and cost compared to the existing method to apply it only to some processes. Currently, an AI technique with a faster development process and accurate recognition has been developed to cope with a fluid situation, so it will be important to understand and introduce the rapidly changing AI development method.

  • Although various studies about indoor positioning systems, such as beacon and Wifi, have been conducting for indoor positioning of workers at construction sites, these systems have limitations in terms of accuracy or economics. To overcome these limitations, geomagnetic field sequence-based indoor positioning technology can be a good alternative. However, it is necessary to correct the geomagnetic field near the construction material stocking area since the geomagnetic field can be distorted near construction materials such as rebars. Therefore, this study conducted an experiment for identifying correction range of geomagnetic field near the construction material stocking area. It was analyzed that the geomagnetic field should be corrected up to 60cm in the horizontal direction from the stocking point if the height of stocking area for rebars is 40cm or more. This study can be used for important reference for development of geomagnetic field sequence-based indoor positioning technology suitable for construction sites.

  • Personalized learning is a critical factor in optimizing performance on construction sites. Traditional pedagogical methods often adhere to a one-size-fits-all approach, failing to provide the nuanced adaptation required to cater to diverse knowledge needs, roles, and learning preferences. While advancements in technology have led to improvements in personalized learning within construction education, the crucial connection between instructors' roles and training enviornment to personalized learning success remains largely unexplored. To address these gaps, this research proposes a novel learning approach utilizing multi-agent, context-specific AI agents within construction virtual environments. This study aims to pioneer an innovative approach leveraging the Large Language Model's capabilities with prompt engineering to make domain-specific conversations. Through the integration of AI-driven conversations in a realistic 3D environment, users will interact with domain-specific agents, receiving personalized safety guidance and information. The system's performance is assessed using the five evaluation criteria including learnability, interaction, communication, relevancy and visualization. The results revealed that the proposed approach has the potential to significantly enhance safety learning in the construction industry, which may lead to improve practices and reduction in accidents on diverse construction sites.

  • The building below standard scales to be built only by constructive report to authorities. Construction law 8 illustrates that supervision should be deployed in all the construction sites at the building which is found to have more than 3 floors and also to have more than $200m^2$ of total squares in especially outside area of city plan zone. Such a small construction is have a important and the most basic meaning. Many problems were found to occur in all the constructive places which were out of the limit of this law. The construction sites were found to be controlled by public official's visiting without supervisors and designers of architecture. Technique of construction in architecture was found to be not different from that of 1980. The security of employees in construction on sites has a serious problem. Because of choosing all the materials of the building without a reasonable point. All the building were found to have a law material about inside and outside aspects. The purpose of this study are to examine existing law about a small project and than to analyze the situation of constructive control through questionnaires and interviews with all the supervisors. Based on the data base of engineers who had a great experience in construction sites, The purpose of this study is also to suggest and advise the method of controlling all the items in architecture through on and off line.

  • In the past several years, accident frequency rate was decreased but severity rate was increased at construction sites with less than two-hundred workers. Accidents caused by failure of education in respect with the management occupied about 40 % in 1997. In this research, a questionnaire survey to know the effects of safety education was committed for small & medium construction sites. Survey results showed that workers wanted to improve work environments and safety facilities than safety education, however they also were not satisfied to educational facilities, contents and methods. Whereas, they agreed that they improved safety consciousness after safety education. As a result, four appropriate methods to promote effective safety education were proposed.

  • The characteristics of the landfill of coal ash and ironwork wastes are investied by performing the basic geotechnical experiments and groundwater quality analyses in the landfills. The results show that the waste materials themselves have good characteristics that can be used as reclamation materials. However, landfills need either some ground improvement or costly foundation and excavation methods to be used as construction sites, because of the careless management during the period of waste disposal.
