The construction of segmental precast concrete bridge is an increase due to its superior performance and economic advantages. This type of bridge is appropriate for spans within 30 to 150 m (100 to 500 ft), known as mega-projects and the design optimization would lead to considerable economic benefits. A box-girder cross section superstructure of balanced cantilever construction method is assessed here. The depth of cross section, (variable along the span linearly), bottom flange thickness, and the count of strands are considered as design variables. The optimum design is characterized by geometry, serviceability, ductility, and ultimate limit states specified by AASHTO. Genetic algorithm (GA) is applied in two fronts: as to the saving in construction cost 8% and as to concrete volume 6%. The sensitivity analysis is run by considering different parameters like span/depth ratio, relation between superstructure cost, span length and concrete compressive strength.

In 2006, Korean Government decided to relocate the several Government bodies and public institutes. They include total of 49 central Government agencies, semi-government agencies, and 17 national research institutes. The completion of the relocation program has been set to be final in 2030. The target population for the city plan is set to be 500,000. The goal of MAC is first to complete the first phase of the program by 2014 within the budget. In order to achieve the goal, considerable time has been spent to properly establish the program management system. The success of MAC's Multi-function Program Administration System is too early to determine as it is still in progressive. The success depends on the operations not the development.

As mega-sized and complex building construction projects are on the rise, the importance of project scheduling and control is being highlighted. Project scheduling and control techniques are not yet widely used in Korea, but interest in these has progressively been increasing. Until now, most research projects have mainly focused on scheduling issues, but project progress management is of equal importance. In this research, the current state of project progress management in Korea is analyzed, and ways for improvement are suggested. We begin by analyzing previous research and practical studies in this field, and then survey experts about the current state of project progress management. This study suggests the Building Information Modeling (BIM)base project progress management method for quantitative and qualitative project progress analysis. Currently, BIM is applied to design, construction and maintenance for construction projects. BIM can also contribute to improving accuracy and understanding of the current project situation.

The purpose of this study is to pro-actively respond to changes in government R&D policy and start to supplement the limitations of previous KIGAM R&D planning process. We looked out through the existing literature for a variety of R&D planning process, and analyzed the R&D planning process characteristics of each institution through the interview. As a result, we can be derived conclusions and implications from three sides, environmental analysis, demand excavation methods, R&D project configuration and selection method. In the case of environmental analysis and the overall need to enhance the skills and mega trend analysis by market trend analysis. And in the demand side, the institute need to establish challenging and specific R&D goals. In addition, in case of configuration and selection of R&D projects we derived several implications, such as convergence, SME support, resource analysis, selection of long-term project.

Public construction projects need complex and multi-functional management skill, since the most of public construction projects are comprised of multi-project and mega-projects. In order to effectively manage construction projects, PMIS is widely used. However the majority of the current PMIS have been developed as a single project-oriented business management system. Thus compatibility problems are encountered during the process of integrating the entire systems to manage the multi-complex projects. In addition, the form of orders applying BIM are increased recently, but the research and development of BIM based PMIS are still lacking. In this study, therefore, the functions of PMIS main objectives based on the analysis of PMIS As-Is and To-Be of PMIS, the dual management system utilizing Internet and Intranet will be proposed to integrate the individual PMIS with Integrated Program Management System. Rather than combining commercial BIM tool and PMIS directly, which is the common method of failure, the sequential process model to adopt BIM based PMIS is also explained. Step-by-step development method of BIM based PMIS is suggested to prepare for the activation of BIM technology in the nearest future.

In 2011, the overall construction markets in KOREA are highly depressed due to decreases in orders of domestic construction markets in both private and public field. Also, we are losing competitive advantages over Chinese and Indian companies owing to the market shares on plant construction projects excessively. It is recognizable, under the circumstances that we are in interior position on high value technique to other advanced countries, that the orders of mega building and plant construction projects tend to be placed through the" Pre-construction Service", the importance of which has been emphasized domestically and internationally in recent time. However, current domestic construction companies show scarcity in understanding the general idea of the Pre-construction Service and fail in building proper structure of it. It is obvious that they cannot have any competent strategy to deal with Pre-construction Service. The Purpose of this paper is to analyze the core competence throughout preconstruction phase and, and make up for the weakness in the current pre-construction service process.

Recently construction industry has faced new era as following the advances of IT technology. It becomes possible that information and knowledge among people are exchanged actively thanks to computer-based tools. In fact, the tools, PMIS(Project Management Information System) and KMS(Knowledge Management System) already have been introduced to constuction industry successfully. Lately IETM(Interactive Electronic Technical Manual) is tried to be one of these systems. This trying is being enlarged that the IETM's concept is changed to administrative and legal process provider throughout the lifespan of construction projects. However, it is hard to define construction IETM in mega-scale project like urban regeneration project because construction projects are complex and have diverse stakeholders. These properties may make the IETM ambiguous system. To do define IETM as a administrative and legal process provider, this research will conduct survey and interview, then analyze its own properties and find out design strategies. Based on the properties and strategies, suggesting IETM's system demands and architecture of urban regeneration processes.
