This paper presents a robotic tower-crane system using encoder and gyroscope sensors as path tracking devices. Tower crane work is often associated with falling accidents and industrial disasters. Such problems often incur a loss of time and money for the contractor. For this reason, many studies have been done on an automatic tower crane. As a part of 5-year 23-million-dollar research project in Korea, we are developing a robotic tower crane which aims to improve the safety level and productivity. We selected a luffing tower crane, which is commonly used in urban construction projects today, as a platform for the robotic tower crane system. This system comprises two modules: the automated path planning module and the path tracking module. The automated path planning system uses the 3D Cartesian coordinates. When the robotic tower crane lifts construction material, the algorithm creates a line, which represents a lifting path, in virtual space. This algorithm seeks and generates the best route to lift construction material while avoiding known obstacles from real construction site. The path tracking system detects the location of a lifted material in terms of the 3D coordinate values using various types of sensors including adopts encoder and gyroscope sensors. We are testing various sensors as a candidate for the path tracking device. This specific study focuses on how to employ encoder and gyroscope sensors in the robotic crane These sensors measure a movement and rotary motion of the robotic tower crane. Finally, the movement of the robotic tower crane is displayed in a virtual space that synthesizes the data from two modules: the automatically planned path and the tracked paths. We are currently field-testing the feasibility of the proposed system using an actual tower crane. In the next step, the robotic tower crane will be applied to actual construction sites with a following analysis of the crane's productivity in order to ascertain its economic efficiency.

Construction project has been changing a huge size and the complicated, so information of each parties are overflow. For more successful construction, more communications are required. Nowadays, BIM has been used widely to solve the problem. But BIM information is used by attribute parties. Many of parties cannot use BIM information. Therefore, this study's purpose is to develope prototype of BIM usage for tower crane. It will overcome current information dividing.

A systematic hoisting planning for tower crane is the most important elements in highrise building construction. However without sufficient data, systematic approach, it is not with ease to produce an appropriate planning at the rite. Therefore, this research aims at developing a systematic hoisting planning system in visual graphic with systematic procedure. The result of this research is that developed system on hoisting load calculation, numbers and specification of tower cranes are graphically visualized easily at the site. The study of applying this system to real project proves that it presents a sufficient capability as a useful tool in the hoisting planning of highrise building projects.

최근 모듈러 건축의 고층화와 함께 현장에서의 T/C 사용도 증가하였다. 이러한 T/C의 대수, 제원 및 위치를 결정하는 TCLP는 프로젝트의 공사비용, 공사기간, 안전, 생산성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 특히 모듈러 건축 프로젝트에서 조건에 부합하지 않는 TCLP는 추가 장비 투입, 재설계 등의 작업으로 이어져 공사기간과 공사비 증가가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 현장관리자는 현장조건, 양중대상, T/C 제원 등 수많은 제약을 고려하여 프로젝트에 적합한 TCLP를 수립해야 한다. 하지만 다중 T/C를 사용하는 건설현장의 경우 추가적인 고려사항과 변수들로 인해 경험과 직관을 통해 TCLP를 수립하는데 어려움이 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 비용과 간섭면적의 최소화를 목적으로 하는 다중 최적화(multi-objective optimization) 알고리즘을 개발하고, 이를 활용하여 T/C 대수, 제원 및 위치를 선정하는 모델을 제안한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 단일 최적화 방식과 달리 다중 최적화를 통한 TCLP 수립 프로세스를 제안함으로써, 비용과 간섭면적의 trade-off를 고려한 경제적이고 효율적인 프로젝트 완료를 기대할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

Tower crane is a large construction equipment which is extremely tall for its section when it is erected, with its high slenderness ratio, and it has a heavy load by itself due to large lifting stuff to handle. In line with the construction projects in these days which increasingly tend to become higher, larger and complex, the stuff and height subject to lifting are also getting larger and higher, which has also increased the risk of disastrous accidents. A stable foundation design thus to deal with the increasing self load becomes more important. When a typhoon Maemi swept the nation in 2003, as many as 43 tower cranes fell down or collapsed, causing a severe damage to the people and the properties. Considering such fatal damages, a technical evaluation of the stability to prevent the safety accident with the tower crane must be very crucial. Tower cranes operation in domestic construction sites, in fact, have been simply dependent on personal experience and intuition of the engineers. Particularly when it comes to the foundation design, it mostly depends on manufacturer's recommendation. The study hence was intended to develop the fundamental measures for granting the objective stability, instead of following the individual's experience only. The simulation model recommended in the study is expected to make a good commitment to achieving an effective lifting work as well as preventing the safety accident.

The luffing-tower crane (T/C) is a key facility used in the vertical and horizontal transportation of materials in a tall building construction. Locating the crane in an optimal position is an essential task in the initial stages of construction planning. This paper proposes a new optimization model to locate the luffing T/C in the optimal position to minimize the transportation time. A newly developed mathematical formula is suggested to calculate the transportation time of luffing T/C correctly. An optimization algorithm, the Harmony Search (HS) algorithm, was used and the results show that HS has high performance characteristics to solve the optimization problem in a short period of time. In a case study, the proposed model offered a better position for T/C than the previous heuristic approach.

고층건축공사의 양중장비의 선정은 프로젝트 성공의 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 건설현장에서는 전문가나 경험이 많은 공사관리자가 2차원 도면 위에 타워크레인의 회전반경을 고려하여 위치를 이동시키는 방법을 통해 적절한 위치를 결정한다. CAD와 BIM, 가상현실 등이 건축설계와 시공단계에 많이 활용되고 있지만 가설계획이나 타워크레인을 선정하기 위해서는 사용되지 않고 있다. 이 연구는 적절한 타워크레인의 위치를 선정하기 위해 증강현실 기술을 이용하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. Vuforia와 Unity 3d를 이용하여 타워크레인의 위치를 선정할 수 있는 증강현실 프로토타입을 구현하였으며 실제 건축도면을 통해 활용성을 검증하였다.

최근 고층화, 대형화, 복잡화 된 건물의 신축이 증가하면서 장비의 사용이 증가하고 있다 특히 공동주택이나 주상복합빌딩의 신축에 따른 고소작업이 증가하면서 타워크레인의 장비가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 장비사용의 증가로 장비의 선정, 운용과 더불어 장비의 안정성 확보는 공사프로젝트의 중요한 관리요소로 작용한다. 최근 공사 시 구조물의 높이가 증가함에 따라 크레인의 위치가 수직상승하는 상승식 타워크레인의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 상승식 크레인의 안정성을 검토하는 모델을 제시하였다. 본 모델은 상승식 크레인의 주변 환경 및 조건에 적절한 선정 뿐 아니라 제시된 3가지 타입의 지지부재인 Collar의 설계 및 안정성 검토 및 고정부의 설계, 검토 또한 손쉽게 이루어 질 수 있도록 하였다. 이러한 모델을 통하여 장비의 적절한 선정 뿐 아니라 지지부재 및 고정부의 설계검토를 통한 안정성 확보를 통하여 공사프로젝트의 효율적 수행이 가능해 질 것으로 기대 된다.
