The cable-supported ribbed beam composite slab structure (CBS) is a new type of pre-stressed hybrid structure. The standard construction method of CBS including five steps and two key phases are proposed in this paper. The theoretical analysis and experimental research on a 1:5 scaled model were carried out. First, the tensioning construction method based on deformation control was applied to pre-stress the cables. The research results indicate that the actual tensile force applied to the cable is slightly larger than the theoretical value, and the error is about 6.8%. Subsequently, three support dismantling schemes are discussed. Scheme one indicates that each span of CBS has certain level of mechanical independence such that the construction of a span is not significantly affected by the adjacent spans. It is shown that dismantling from the middle to the ends is an optimal support dismantling method. The experimental research also indicates that by using this method, the CBS behaves identically with the numerical analysis results during the construction and service.

Risk assessment during pre-construction phase is important due to the uncertainty of the risks that may exist in projects. Risk checklist is a method to systematically classify and organize the risks that have been experienced in the past, and to identify the risk factors that may be present in the future projects. In addition, risk value assessment based on checklists plays a key role in risk management, and various risk assessment researches have been conducted to carry out this systematically. However, previous approaches have limitations in common, this is because risk values are evaluated individually in risk checklists, which ignore interdependencies among risk factors and neglect the emergence of co-occurrence of risks. Hence, when multiple risk factors cooccur, they cannot be far off from the conventional method of summing the total risk value to establish the risk response strategy. Most of risk factors are interdependent and may have multiple effects if occurred than expected. In particular, specific cause can be overlapped if multiple risks co-occur, and this may result in overestimation of the risk response for the future project. Thus, the objective of this research is to propose a model to help decision makers to quantify the risk value reflecting the interdependency during the identification phase using existing risk checklist that is currently being practiced in actual construction projects. The proposed model will provide the guideline to support the prediction and identification of the interdependency of risks in practice. In addition, the better understanding and prediction of the exceeding risk response by co-occurring risks during the risk identification phase for decision makers.

The government, in order to settle and activate the use of Construction Management (CM) method, clarified the legal Issues pertaining to infrastructure development and is taking an active role to promote CM through government sponsored pilot projects. However, when a CM method is applied to a turn-key protect, many applicational difficulites are expected. With design and construction are performed under the simple responsibility in a turn-key method, roles of CM's is overlapped. Also, the characteristics of turn-key method are not reflected to the present $\lceil$CM Work Guideline$\rfloor$. Over the years, various problems have been identified from turn-key projects. Korea's $\lceil$CM Work Guideline$\rfloor$ is more inclusive compared to the CM services of CMAA and overlooks the importance of CM's roles in pre-design phase. In this study, CM's roles of pre-construction phase (pre-bidding, bidding, detail design, contracting) in construction turn-key projects were identified and complementary policy for institution was suggested. We further look into dividing the roles of the CM at turn-key project Into professional role and emotional role. Also, we speculate problems of the existing experience in turn-key projects and suggest a rough methodology on how these concepts can be adjusted for improve the turn-key method.

Overseas expansion of domestic construction over the past 10 years has been fast growing. But as a result of simple construction business practices and a focus on EPC, sales margins was reduced. Domestic construction companies have been trying to redirect business to high-value-added-areas but have faced difficulty because there areas are current monopolized by global leading companies in the field of PMC. They have recently carried out 16 PMC related project in order to expand their experience and increase their competitiveness. Most of these construction companies that do PMC overseas have been focusing on the civil engineering sector. analyzing the important and performance result 50 separate PMC tasks in detail using IPA, it became clear that domestic construction companies should also focus on tasks and were analyzed in order to advance to overseas architecture PMC sector overseas. There are large gaps in the importance and performance result of both the planning and pre-construction phase. Importance compared to the current performance levels in the planning phase gap is largest, pre-construction phase has been analyzed in the following order. In particular, one should strengthen detailed tasks in the planing phase. This study is expected to be used as a basic to determine the performance level and tasks items. It is expected strengthen the capacities of domestic companies in the PMC field, for especially in the high value-aded-areas as indicated in the results of the analysis from this study.

The CM at Risk project, which started with the aim of strengthening the global competitiveness of the domestic construction industry through innovation of ordering system, is being implemented in the form of pilot projects in the public sector. However, it seems that it is necessary to enact related laws and regulations to move to the formal ordering system, and the performance analysis of the project is still insufficient. In this paper, the effectiveness and reliability of the project were verified through the performance analysis of the Pre-Construction Service of the four pilot projects currently being implemented. The results of the study were analyzed in five areas including Team Building, Design Book, Construction Period, VE, and BIM. Through the interview survey, the problems were confirmed and improvement plans were presented. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for the legalization of ordering system to be implemented in the future.

This study is conducted to improve the manufacturing process of the modular construction method, which is a pre-fabricated construction method recognized for its advantage on the shortening of construction time. This study first identified the factors that result in shortening of pre-fabrication processes in the current module-processing factory. In addition, those identified factors were further considered for installing the M.E.P. system that is being outsourced on the main module in the production line. A manufacturing process of the construction modules, which considers installation of a M.E.P. system most suitable for shortening the time on the outsourcing of modular construction, is introduced throughout the research. Furthermore, this study suggests the factors in need of improvement during design phase of modular construction and improvement measures to consider the quality of unit modules by focusing on the module parts that are most exposed to defects.

The largest array SKA (Square Kilometre Array) project was proposed by astronomers from 10 countries, and first coordinated by the LTWG (Large Telescope Working Group) formed at the General Assembly of URSI (International Union of Radio Science) in 1993. It enters the pre-construction phase (2012-2015), towards the 10% SKA construction (2016-2019) called SKA1 and the rest of SKA (2019-2023) called SKA 2, under the leadership of the SKA Organisation (SKAO) established on November 23, 2011. I will review the Chinese participation in the SKA project at national, regional and global levels in the past two decades. During such a Long March to the SKA, a number of national Megascience projects have taken root and have been (are being) successfully constructed, with costs at the 100 M US dollar level, including the largest dish FAST (Five-hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope), which can be seen as a forerunner of the KARST (Kilometre Area Radio Synthesis Telescope) project, being as one of the two LDSN (Large Diameter Small Number) concepts for realizing the SKA. A close look at the FAST project gives an impressive snapshot of the construction phase in China.

Recent advancement in ICT and IT infrastructure drives the construction industry towards a IT-based industry. Accordingly, the importance of the planning phase of a project is significantly highlighted due to recent large-scale national development projects such as U-city and multifunctional administration city. various development and studies are conducted on the convergence of 3D CAD and GIS in order to support the decision making by simulation of each phase of construction prior to the actual construction of a building. However there has been limits to the implementation of the IT technology in the planning phase due to its characteristics such as high reliability on the experts knowledge and the compliance of the administration work. In this study, a trendy issue of the convergence of the GIS technology with the 3D CAD design data is suggested to improve the efficiency of a decision support in the planning phase.

Conflicts of interest and independent agenda of the parties brought together for implementation of a construction project often leads to dispute in Contract and claim situations. Construction Industry is notorious for claim that is managed on its arising and there lacks an endeavor to minimize the breeding grounds through efficient planning and alignment to purpose, of all contract-documents. There failure of a concerted effort entails wastage of resources, delayed completion of facilities and stained relationships of parties when collide in mistrust in contract to win over the other. There needs a focus on the claim breeding issue and establish an effective mechanism to deal with disputes in urgency. Claim occurs mostly during the construction phase. But the seeds of claim and nutrients essential for development are contained in the contract documentation and the information supplied or not in pre-contract phase. Opportunity to prevent nutrients for seed of Claim comes to an end once tender-documents are finalized, the contract is awarded and established or not a mechanism for dealing with claim situation. The processes presented here would help in minimizing the breeding grounds and emergence of disputes during progression of works and dealing with eventualities in forceful manners for finding a resolution most effectively in relevant time.
