Traditional External Insulation Finishing System(EIFS) is applied to apartment construction by performing structural framework and insulation finishing work sequentially. Separate execution of the three works increases construction cost and duration. Concurrent construction method of EIFS, which performs framework and insulation finishing work simultaneously, is introduced in order to solve these problems. However, the introduced method is exposed to the risk of construction delay caused by bottlenecks due to interacting processes and resources. Therefore, this paper presents a simulation model suitable for estimating work productivity of the concurrent construction by considering predecessor and successor processes to optimize resource allocation and minimize construction delay.

The exposed concrete has been widely used in building construction. Therefore, many researches are presented to secure a proper construction quality of exposed concrete. Low quality and management absence, however, still remained in construction fields. Thus, many studies have been conducted to improve the quality, but defects still occur in the exposed concrete finishing work. In this study, the causes of defects were analyzed by process in order to prevent the generation of defects and to enhance the need for integrated management to secure quality. In addition, a case study and AHP analysis have derived the importance of defects occurring in the exposed concrete finishing work. The study concluded that the occurrence of the exposed concrete finishing work needs to be managed throughout the process, not the management limited by one process, according to the causes of the existing defects, and integrated management is required to prevent defects and improve quality of exposed concrete finishing work.

Recently, modular construction method has been widely applied to projects with repetitive processes including dormitory, the residential facility, and the hotel construction due to reduced labor input and shortened construction schedule. Generally, about 40% of total on-site construction cost excluding unit installation cost, is put on exterior finishing work, and thus management of finishing work is deemed important in maintaining the targeted schedule and cost. Since limited equipment is shared so that subsequent activities are not affected while carrying out on-site installation and finishing work, lifting plan becomes more important for modular projects with greater portion of finishing work load. In this regard, tower crane operation plan may take the form of a single cycle or multiple cycles in which equipment efficiency can be affected. However, difficulties exist in evaluating alternatives to tower crane operation plans supporting unit installation and finishing work. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the alternative of tower crane operation method according to the cyclic period setting in modular building site to determine the effect on T/C uptime and process by parameterizing lifting time for unit and exterior finishing material, lift cycle for unit and exterior finishing material and time required for finishing work. Accordingly, this study develops a simulation model that can increase the tower crane efficiency by controlling the work speed. An academic contribution of this study is to suggest a resource leveling method applying the concept of lifting cycle, and further is expected to be managerially used as a basis for an alternative evaluation of equipment plan.

In this work, optimal finish machining condition considering total time for mold or electrode manufacturing was investigated. First, manual finishing time according to the machining condition was analyzed for the work material. The effect of runout and phase shift of tool path on surface finish was also considered in those analyses. Secondly, optimal manual finishing processes were determined for various machining conditions. Finally, finish machining time and corresponding manual finishing time were taken into account for the estimation of the total time of manufacturing mold. Though small feed per tooth and pick feed reduced the manual finishing time, the finish machining time increased in such conditions. With a machining condition of feed per tooth of 0.2 mm and pick feed of 0.3 mm, the minimum total time of manufacturing mold was achieved in our machining condition.

The overall ability to manage the construction projects from an integrated perspective is important due to the emerging of high-rise building constructions. Potential hazardous of low productivity exist in the finishing work of high rise building a distinct example of the projects. Especially, the number of activities that should be controlled during finishing work is more than during skeleton work. Thus field managers should attract more attention to manage finish work activities. The low productivity of these activities can diminish that of skeleton work. Decision factors of the delivery system for finishing works in the high-rise building project is established by means of literature review and questionnaire survey and a basis to analyze the effects of the criteria to the deli very system is presented.

Currently the technology of surface finishing is highly demanded in a wide range of industries. And many kinds of surface finishing technologies have been developed for each purpose. But it is still difficult to make a fine surface for the part which has three dimensional geometry. Now most of these kinds of complex parts are polished by hand by well skilled workers, This hand work process is inefficient and the production cost is high. Therefore it is desirable to develop a new finishing technology to solve problem In this study a new device was developed and tested in various test conditions.

Roughness of curved surfaces finished with flexible tools depends on the tool/work contact pressure and area. In this study, non-Hertzian closely conforming elastic contact theory is employed to analyze the tool/work contact and to generate a tool path producing a constant pressure at initial contact points. Finishing experiments on curved surfaced are conducted using the tool path. For comparison, curved surface finishing is also performed along the tool path producing a constant tool/work interference depth. It is demonstrated that the tool path of constant contact pressure improves the finished surface roughness.

The need for adopting automation technologies to improve inefficiencies in interior finishing modeling work is increasing during the Building Information Modeling (BIM) design stage. As a result, the use of visual programming languages (VPL) for practical applications is growing. However, undefined or incorrect space designations in BIM models can hinder the development of automated finishing modeling processes, resulting in erroneous corrections and rework. To address this challenge, this study first developed a rule-based automated interior finishing detailing module for floors, walls, and ceilings. In addition, an automated space integrity checking module with 86.69% ACC using the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) model was developed. These modules were integrated into a design automation module for interior finishing, which was then verified for practical utility. The results showed that the automation module reduced the time required for modeling and integrity checking by 97.6% compared to manual work, confirming its utility in assisting BIM model development for interior finishing works.

An operation planning of lift car is crucial in tall building construction especially it's arrangement plans, because it is related with transportation distance of finishing materials affecting construction productivity. Since tall building construction, composed of complicating and huge plane have complex traffic lines of finishing materials, to determine the position of lift car empirically or intuitively has limits. Therefore this paper suggest an optimum layout model of lift car minimizing the transportation distance both at site-level and floor-level using Graph theory and Dijkstra algorithm.
