In recent years, pollution in residential spaces has been a significant area of concern. In particular, the indoor air quality (IAQ) of an apartment building before occupancy, which is related to the interior material, is a serious problem. Unlike previous research, which has mainly focused on pollution control after construction, this study has derived influencing factors and priority of management with a controlling schedule for IAQ. The objectives of this research are 1) control of schedule or improvement of management for IAQ, 2) distribution of responsibility to the parties concerned (factory, material company, construction company, design and engineering, occupancy). The results show the relative priority of the four major items in wall?based apartment buildings and in column?based apartment buildings. An analysis of the parties responsible for improvement based on the IAQ results shows more efforts to improve IAQ are needed in material factories and engineering/design companies.

Waterproofing techniques used in underground structures do not reflect material and construction environments, but rely only on material properties, which inevitably lead to their limits in durable life. In particular, the government intends to investigate the current underground water treatment method and analyze the problems in order to prevent serious corrosion and aging of structures caused by underground water leaks and poor construction.

As information technologies in construction field get developed, various studies and projects are in progress for improvement of construction industry. Meanwhile, web-basis online system for building materials is tending upward. However, most of the informations about classification system for building materials and specifications are not systematic yet. Most field staffs have some troubles in making full use of the material information, repeating inefficient works from constructional design to the maintenance of it. This study designed auto-categorization system classified by materials, multi-search engines, auto-converting/creating electronic catalog as well as RFID search support to provide standardized building materials information.

This paper presents the effects of the construction stages using time dependent material properties on the structural behaviour of concrete arch dams. For this purpose, a double curvature Type-5 arch dam suggested in "Arch Dams" symposium in England in 1968 is selected as a numerical example. Finite element models of Type-5 arch dam are modelled using SAP2000 program. Geometric nonlinearity is taken into consideration in the construction stage analysis using P-Delta plus large displacement criterion. In addition, the time dependent material strength variations and geometric variations are included in the analysis. Elasticity modulus, creep and shrinkage are computed for different stages of the construction process. In the construction stage analyses, a total of 64 construction stages are included. Each stage has generally $6000m^3$ concrete volume. Total duration is taken into account as 1280 days. Maximum total step and maximum iteration for each step are selected as 200 and 50, respectively. The structural behaviour of the arch dam at different construction stages has been examined. Two different finite element analyses cases are performed. In the first case, construction stages using time dependent material properties are considered. In the second case, only linear static analysis (not considered construction stages) is taken into account. Variation of the displacements and stresses are obtained from the both analyses. It is highlighted that construction stage analysis using time dependent material strength variations and geometric variations has an important effect on the structural behaviour of arch dams. The maximum longitudinal, transverse and vertical displacements obtained from construction stages and static analyses are 1.35 mm and 0 mm; -8.44 and 6.68 mm; -4.00 and -9.90 mm, respectively. In addition, vertical displacements increase from the base to crest of the dam for both analyses. The maximum S11, S22 and S33 stresses are obtained as 1.60MPa and 2.84MPa; 1.39MPa and 2.43MPa; 0.60MPa and 0.50MPa, respectively. The differences between maximum longitudinal, transverse, and vertical stresses obtained from construction stage and static analyses are 78%, 75%, and %17, respectively. On the other hand, there is averagely 12% difference between minimum stresses for all three directions.

This paper presents special-purpose design program and plastic design results for hollow RC bridge columns with reinforcement details for material quantity reduction. The developed reinforcement details has economic feasibility and rationality and makes construction periods shorter. This study documents the economic evaluation of hollow reinforced concrete bridge column systems with reinforcement details for material quantity reduction and presents conclusions based on the application findings. As a result, the proposed reinforcement details for material quantity reduction were designed prior to the existing reinforcement details in terms of structural rationality, constructability, and economic.

Friction material, an integral constituent of bearing supports, facilitates frictional interactions between two components. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a commonly employed friction material in bearing supports, has assessed resultant friction equilibrium. Nonetheless, protracted utilization diminishes frictional performance as the lubricating agent is progressively depleted. Friction materials can affect the entire structural system. Hence, this study applied ceramic material as a friction material due to its high strength, low friction, and low deformation. The frictional behavior was investigated using a cyclic friction test, considering various friction materials as the primary design variables and examining their covariance in cyclic frictional movements. The results substantiated that the ceramic friction material yielded a low variance and friction coefficients in cyclic frictional movements.

There are many factors that generate the early deterioration of the concrete structure. As the one of the representative factors, we can think an invasion of the water, air and so on. The water and air invade in inside void along the capillarity and they become the cause that the durability like corrosion of layer department due to freezing and thawing, inside steel frame corrosion, and so on blacks. Therefore with covering permeability covering waterproofing material of fluid condition in outer wall, intercepting the deterioration factor due to the infiltration of water from outside and for salt damage of concrete layer department, freezing damage and neutralization, it needs, to improve durability of structure. This study separately examined physical and chemical specific of quality liguid siliceous of waterproofing material. Therefore as this applys the construction site, it improves the durability of concrete structure. Further this presents the application plan from the construction market against the new material.

Utilization of new lighter materials, more tough and durable than existing materials, is getting larger in recent constructions. FRP, stronger and lighter than present materials, can be formed in various shapes and has high durability, which makes it more profitable as a new material in construction fields. However, effort to use FRP in real construction is toddling and FRP is used primarily as reinforcing material in connote structure. We are about to develop Hybrid FRP Rod for the development of advanced construction material which is based on IT, by Hybridization of HIP, spotlighted as new construction material, and optical sensor in smart measurement. Beforehand, it is required to fully understand the properties of tension test operated in Hybrid FRP Rod. For this, a specimen was made by hybridization of FRP Rod and FBG sensor. Strain of Hybrid FRP Rod was measured comparing electric sensor and FBG sensor.
