Recently, the demand of construction a new hospital is apt to decrease in the rate of increase. The demand changes quantitative expansion into seeking quality of more pleasant healing environment. Special conditions should be taken into consideration when we remodeling the hospital, because it has special and complicated equipment system. Also, newly invented medical instruments cause extension and reconstruction of a building, therefore construction of hospital continued growth and variation. Hospitals of small-to-middle size are changing to correspond on patients' request under these environment. Now we have little awareness and experience about remodeling yet, and systematic research is insufficient. Therefore, this study is aiming to purpose a data of future hospital construction plan and suitable hospital remodeling's plan direction through analysis of done medium and small scale hospitals.

One of the causes of recent construction site collapses was that the compressive strength of concrete was less than half of the allowable design standard strength range. In the safety diagnosis of structures, the compressive strength of concrete is a factor that determines the durability of a building. Therefore, in this study, we aim to examine the characteristics of compressive strength according to the particle size distribution of coarse aggregate among the compressive strength factors using small-diameter cores. To avoid problems when collecting cores, core specimens with diameters of 100×200, 50×100, and 25×50 (mm) were manufactured directly. As a result of measuring the compressive strength of concrete for each diameter, the larger the core diameter, the higher the compressive strength. has increased.

The government set up a comprehensive plan for EC vitalizations in February 2000 and has begun implementing it. They hope to introduce EC into the economy at large and invoke reconsideration of its efficiency and transparency in the public sector. To accomplish this, the government has built EC utilization system within the industry and trade. However, the overall EC in the construction industry is below expectation. With the aid of the government, larger construction companies are building E-marketplace by increasing the investment in IT and organizing a consortium. On the other hand, small and medium construction companies have difficulties in investing in EC. On the basis of a field research, this study investigates problems that small and medium construction industry confronts in a domestic environment and EC system. It also analyzes the limitations of the tax reduction law for EC. Therefore, this study suggests a counterplan that defines the importance of a government guided plan and necessity of providing incentives to encourage EC Utilization degree.

Under Korean law, small-to-medium-sized construction projects with budgets of more than 100 million won and less than 12 billion won must receive technical guidance by a visiting technician belonging to a specialized institution. This study proposed a method for calculating the technical guidance fee to prevent the potential inadequacy of technical guidance when the responsibility providing the technical guidance fee is changed from a contractor to a client. The method simplified the construction works which should receive technical guidance into four sections according to the construction amount. For each section, the number of instances of technical guidance per day provided by the visiting technician and the minimum technical grade of the visiting technician were limited, and the guideline for estimating engineering services fees was applied to calculate the fee per instance of technical guidance. The results show that the proposed method can be applied to the establishment of a technical guidance fee guideline since it well reflects the current fee distribution and K2B analysis results.

The building below standard scales to be built only by constructive report to authorities. Construction law 8 illustrates that supervision should be deployed in all the construction sites at the building which is found to have more than 3 floors and also to have more than $200m^2$ of total squares in especially outside area of city plan zone. Such a small construction is have a important and the most basic meaning. Many problems were found to occur in all the constructive places which were out of the limit of this law. The construction sites were found to be controlled by public official's visiting without supervisors and designers of architecture. Technique of construction in architecture was found to be not different from that of 1980. The security of employees in construction on sites has a serious problem. Because of choosing all the materials of the building without a reasonable point. All the building were found to have a law material about inside and outside aspects. The purpose of this study are to examine existing law about a small project and than to analyze the situation of constructive control through questionnaires and interviews with all the supervisors. Based on the data base of engineers who had a great experience in construction sites, The purpose of this study is also to suggest and advise the method of controlling all the items in architecture through on and off line.

Recently, projects are being actively promoted to develop a new residential district centered around the metropolitan area, or to redevelop the residential area that was established long ago as unplanned land development. In this residential area, the owner can directly construct the building, and the way the building owner builds the residential house is called the direct construction of the owner. If the owner has the construction management (CM) capability while conducting direct management of the owner, the direct construction can be carried out by the CM method. This type of construction is called Owner-CM delivery method. However, it is very rare for small-scale construction in Korea to be implemented by the Owner-CM method. This may be due to the lack of knowledge and experience about the CM of the owner. In this study, we investigated the actual cases of the scheduling for the residential houses of similar size which were built at the same time in the residential housing complex developed near the metropolitan area. The purpose of this study is to derive the success factors of the scheduling in the small-scale construction from the cases carried out by the Owner-CM method. These success factors of the scheduling can be used as meaningful reference for the owners who want to build their own house in the future.

For last couple of years many apartments, roads and bridges are constructed along the Kok-kyo stream which is penetrating Asan city, Chung-Nam Province. The effect of construction on stream environment was investigated in this study. Various kinds of water qualities of the Kok-kyo stream were monitored for 5 months. As it passed through the construction sites, $COD_{cr}$ concentration increased abruptly whereas the increment of the $BOD_5$ was not so great, indicating that non-biodegradable organics were flowed from the construction sites to the stream. Particularly, 0.2 mg/L of N-hexane was measured, which is believed to be mainly responsible for the organic pollution from construction sites. In spite of short periods of water quality monitoring, it could be concluded that there was a good correlation between construction sites and stream pollution. Therefore, legislative activity or enforced management by local government to the construction sites are needed for keeping the small stream environment better.

There are big differences between developed countries and Korea regarding to the circumstances of electrical installation construction. In other words, Korea, in spite of its small market size, has large pools of electrical construction companies or associated workers, and there are a lot of poorly electrical construction companies in domestically. Thus, in reality, it is difficult to invest in technical development to enhance Korea's technical level on electrical installation and companies are likely to construct as occasion demands instead of constructing in a technical manner. Therefore, the government needs to develop a standard specification as a guideline for stable, economical and technical electrical installation construction. With this standard specification, almost all electrical construction companies could practically use it and also could guarantee their construction quality as well. It is important to induce small companies to utilize the standard specification to secure their construction excellent quality so that the life of the nation, individual's properties and national properties could be well protected.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status of disasters and initial first aid in the construction industry, and to suggest the deployment of emergency medical technicians and reinforcement of first aid training in the construction industry. Methods: Among industrial accidents in 2020, the accident characteristics and initial first aid that occurred at construction sites were analyzed, and the emergency dispatch of 119 paramedics was analyzed through the SPSS method. Results: The incidence of serious accidents was high at small and medium-sized construction sites with less than 50 workers, and the incidence of falls was high, and there were few first responders who could provide first aid in the beginning. Therefore, it is necessary to improve first aid response capabilities at small construction sites. Conclusion: In order to improve the ability to respond to first aid at construction sites, it is necessary to deploy first responders and strengthen first aid education.

The government introduced the technical proposal drafting system in September 2007, as a new method to stimulate technical competence among construction companies to require ingenuity, creativity, artistic sense, and high-level technology. However, an examination of instances has shown that this system has been applied only to large scale constructions worth 30 billion won or more, and not to small and medium constructions worth less than 30 billion won. This is because the evaluation criteria of the system is structured in a manner that makes it difficult to apply to small and medium constructions. This study presented methods to improve the evaluation factors, categories, and scoring scheme of the technical proposal creation system for medium to small scale constructions to be able to further apply the current system to small and medium constructions. The technical proposal evaluation criteria presented in this study was significant in that it enabled the technical proposal creation system that was mainly used for large scale constructions to be further applied to medium to small scale constructions. And it also contributes to the establishment and settlement of a new technical proposal tendering for medium to small scale constructions.
