The top-down construction method is an excavation and substructure construction method by excavating earth and building slabs from the ground level to the bottom of a building. The top-down method can be categorized into several types by its process and other technical details. Some of commonly used top-down methods in Korea today are S.O.G., N.S.T.D., and S.P.S. Among these, one method is chosen depending on construction field conditions, cost, construction time and so on. This study explores several factors that may affect the selection of a top-down method. This paper reports preliminary survey results with 54 top-down construction experts and comparison results of 5 top-down construction sites.

The size of the construction projects become huge and complex, and the depth of excavation for the underground structures become deeper. Also the working area is not enough for loading materials and temporary facilities. This is the most case of recent construction projects in downtown area. Top-down is the most useful method for this kind of construction projects. Top-down construction method consists of supporting method, retaining wall type, foundation type and construction direction such as up-down or up-up. construction managers have to select sub-elements for top-down construction method in planning phase. This study is to suggest the sub-elements selection model for the top-down construction method, and the case study is conducted for evaluating this model.

Top-Down construction is becoming a popular construction method in China as there is a growing need for building high-rise structures in crowded urban areas. This paper deals with the explanation and analysis of characteristics of Top-Down construction in China. In China, usually construction site is relatively large or sometimes huge compared to that in Korea. Thus, as the high-rise portion of the building needs to be constructed first and fast, island method is used at the center p망t of the building. In the meanwhile, the remaining area of the building is constructed using Top-Down method to provide working area for equipments and workers. Also, the case studies of construction examples are provided in this paper. The purpose of this paper is to promote international understanding and interaction between neighborhood countries for the utilization of Top-Down construction.

In recent years, construction site has developed lots of new methods and materials for Time-Cost Trade-off and improving constructability. In the case of underground construction, especially, there are many restrictions and difficulties. Shortening of the construction time in construction of underground, we use top-down method in undergroud wall. A open slab has been designed for the purpose of overcoming a weak point of former top-down method. This study based on open slab on the under ground top-down method, to more improve constructability, to introduce the effect and the performance of top-down method.

Defects are the risk factors in the construction process of buildings. They cause damage, delaying the construction duration. They especially cause adverse effects on the top-down construction method. This study analyzed the degree of construction delay induced by each work type, focusing on defects in the top-down method. Then, we derived construction delay induction coefficient from different work types in order by using the severity of construction delay per defect and the occurrence probability of defect; this assessment model measures the impact of defects on construction delay for each work type. Furthermore, by comparing each work type based on the defect frequency and the construction delay induction coefficient, we found work types that need to be administered attentively. We identified that plastering work was easy to overlook, requiring caution in defect management. This study provides an efficient defect management system suitable for the buildings that are built using the top-down construction method.

To utilize the Top-Down construction method, it is required to analyse building area, floors, and soil conditions to choose the three basic elements of retaining wall, base column, and floor structure. The purpose of this research is to compare the methods of Top-Down with other construction methods. The research method is to analyse the project conditions of Top-Down project cases. The aim is to develop a method of selecting alternatives, considering construction characteristics, work schedule, supporting methods, foundation types.

The joint treatment of concrete is one of the technical problems in top down construction method. Joints created wit the top down construction result in serous weakness from the aspects of both structural and water-barrier function. Several case studies for the insepction of top down construction joints of column in SRC structure using radar and infrared thermography method. The advantages and limitations of these methods for non-destructive inspection in top own construction joints are investigated.

The joint treatment of concrete is one of the technical problems in top down construction method. Joints created with the top down construction result in serious weakness from the aspects of both structural and water-barrier function. Ultrasonic method was used for the inspection of top down construction joints of column in SRC structure in this study. As a result it has been verified that the semi-direct measurement method is more effective than the other methods for detecting the voids of construction joints.

Top Down method is more widely used in downtown construction, recently. As underground construction constitutes a significant portion of the total construction cost and time in Top Down construction, it is important to develop a construction method to reduce the time required in underground works. The purpose of this study is to analyze load carrying capacity of Top Down prefounded columns on different excavation schedule. When several floors are excavated, the valid buckling length of prefounded column is increased and allowable buckling stress is decreased. The result shows that all columns are safe in buckling down to B3 story whether 2 or 3 stories are excavated. However, several columns are not safe from B4 story when 2 or 3 stories are excavated straightly. With these results, a process can be designed that the first three stories in the basement are excavated, and then excavate B4 story after placing concrete on B1 and B2 floor.

최근 역타시공법 등에 의한 콘크리트 구조물의 시공이 증가 추세에 있다. 이 경우, 자주 발생되는 신 구타설 콘크리트 시공이음부의 공극은 향후 구조물의 구조적인 특성과 내구성 등에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 그러나 현재 제안되고 있는 비파괴 검사법으로는 효과적으로 이음부 공극을 평가하기에 많은 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 시공이음부의 콘크리트 충전상태를 평가하기 위해 철골철근 콘크리트와 무근 콘크리트 시험체내에 공극을 모의제작한 후, 초음파속도 측정을 실시하고, 화상처리기법을 이용하여 비교적 용이하게 해석 가능한 방법에 대해 검토하였다.
