The recent paradigm shift in the construction industry has led to a growing demand for industrial construction. In particular, interest in modular housing, one of the areas of industrialization architecture, is soaring. Modular housing is a construction method for completing a building by transporting factory-built modules to the site and assembling them. However, modular housing in Korea has various problems such as errors in design books, lack of factory drawings, and lack of on-site construction plans. BIM is a tool for accumulating, producing and managing various information through 3D models and is a solution to solve various problems of modular housing. In this study, problems of modular housing and BIM utilization of modular housing were presented as ways to ensure the quality of modular housing. Therefore, this study analyzed the problems that are occurring in the construction process of modular housing. And, to address the problem of modular housing, BIM utilization measures were proposed for each modular process step. However, the application of BIM in domestic modular project is currently being carried out in pilot research project. Because of this, the BIM utilize method for modular housing is limited based on the BIM use for general projects and the examples for some modular pilot projects.

The technology-intensive unit modular method of factory production method is attracting attention by the limit of the labor-intensive and field centered wet construction method. In recent years, the unit modular method has been applied to the construction of schoolhouse and BOQ(bachelor offices' quarters), dormitories, etc. But the modular method still is not used in housing construction by the lack of verification of resident performance and construction cost. Therefore, this study analyzed the economics of modular house to vitalize the constructed residential building by modular method and to develop the modular method. According to the study results, the construction cost of the modular house was analysed more about 6.2% expensive than that of the existing housing. However, if the construction duration of modular house is shortened or the productivity of modular house is increased, the construction cost of modular house will be similar to the that of the existing house.

This study was conducted to apply the modular construction method to Han-ok. The modular method, which is differentiated from the existing one, means a construction method that equipments, windows and interior materials are prefabricated as a six-sided object at a plant and then they are assembled at the least process on the spot. As for the theoretical observation, the theoretical basis to apply the modular method to the modular housing and Hanok was divided into environmental and economic aspect. In order to apply the modular method to Hanok, the unit scale and size were selected and the plane of unit module Hanok was developed. And a standard with regard to the unit combination and material lifting transportation method was set and planned. In addition, through the comparison the unit modular Hanok to the existing Hanok, the difference was analyzed and the strength was identified in terms fo design method, structure, construction method, period and cost. In final, the conclusion, with regard to the economic, technical application in future, was drawn through arranging the study contents. The unit modular Hanok to carry out the high-quality dwelling through construction period reduction, standardized construction materials and improved insulation performance can meet the demands for a paradigm of new construction technology.

A modular construction method includes factory-prefabricated room-sized volumetric units. Although low-rise buildings have been constructed worldwide using this method for more than 30 years, it is a relatively new technology in high-rise construction. There are three basic methods of constructing high-rise buildings using modular construction: the core method, the core-and-podium combination method, and the modular in-fill method. While the first two have been used in the USA and in several European countries, the third method, introduced in 2011 by an international cruise ship development firm, is a rather new approach for which there are few case histories. Therefore, its applicability and construction feasibility should be verified. As a pilot study to test the applicability of the modular in-fill method, a 12-story residential building was built in Korea. This paper describes a case study of the pilot project. The advantages and disadvantages of the method and its applicability in terms of cost effectiveness and construction schedule management were evaluated.

This is a basic experimental study to apply FRP modular box member to a variety of construction structures exposed to flexural strength, such as a slab and a girder. Applying FRP modular box member to a real structure requires a large section. FRP box member was made into modular systems. Tests were conducted under various conditions in order to analyze jointing performance of the developed FRP modular box member as a large section. For the methods of jointing FRP modular box member, synthetic resins connection, mechanical connection, and a combination of both were used to test both length and breadth connection. As a result of the test, using urethane + two bolts + sheets was the most efficient method of connecting FRP modular box member. It is expected that the proposed joint system in this study will contribute to the increase of failure load and synthesis behavior of FRP modular box member.

In accordance with changes in the domestic construction environment, interest in off-site construction methods (factory-manufactured construction methods) including modular construction methods is rapidly increasing. Among various off-site (OSC) construction methods, the front runner is the steel-based box-type modular construction method. Compared to the existing wet construction method, the steel modular construction method is increasing in terms of securing economic feasibility by shortening the construction period and increasing the prefabrication rate. However, due to the recent rise in raw materials and a sharp rise in the exchange rate, the economic feasibility of the wet method is deteriorating compared to the wet method. Therefore, a hybrid between 9-Matrix-based OSC construction methods is considered as a solution, away from the steel-box type combination, and a comparative study of the construction process between each construction method is being conducted. It was analyzed that the PC modular construction method shortened the construction period by 9% compared to the existing steel modular construction method. On the other hand, when comparing the construction period of the Gayang-dong demonstration complex calculated assuming that all modules are applied, it is estimated that there will be a 12% reduction in construction period compared to the steel modular method and a whopping 43% compared to the RC method.

The performance of Elliptic Curves Cryptosystem(ECC) is dominated by the modular multiplication since the elliptic curve scalar multiplication consists of the modular multiplication in projective coordinates. In this paper, we propose a new method that combines the Karatsuba-Ofman multiplication method and a new modular reduction algorithm in order to improve the performance of the modular multiplication for NIST p224 in the FIPS 186-4 standard. The proposed method leads to a running time improvement for computing the modular multiplication about 25% faster than the previous methods. The results also show that the method can reduce the arithmetic complexity by half when compared with traditional implementations on the standpoint of the modular reduction.

A grid voltage estimation method for modular plug-in active power decoupling (APD) circuits is proposed in this study as direct replacements of electrolytic capacitors. Since modular plug-in APD circuits cannot have additional grid voltage sensors and should be operated independently without information exchange with the front-end converter, it is impossible to obtain the phase information of the grid directly. Therefore, the proposed method uses the second-order harmonic component of the DC-link voltage to estimate the grid voltage necessary to control the APD circuit. By employing the proposed method, the concept of modular plug-in APD circuits can be realized and implemented without direct detection of the grid voltage. The experimental results based on hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) validate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
