A case study is a beforehand research to develope 3D architectural design guide line for building and construction. For this case study, the research investigates several cases around world such as Building Information Modeling Guide Series of U.S. GSA(General Service Administration), BIM/IFC User Guide of IAI Germany, IDM(Information Delivery Manual) of IAI Norway, CORENet of Singapore the Ministry of National Development with Building and Construction Authority, and Helsinki University of Technology Auditorium Hall 600(HUT-600) of IAI Finland. The common thing of each case is using IFC for sharing information and interoperability in the life cycle of building. Through the case study, it shows the way how the 3D architectural design guide adapted in Korean situation.

In the present study, the effect of horizontal vent position on fire phenomena in the enclosure with vertical and horizontal vents was examined using numerical simulation. Case 1 indicates the condition that the horizontal vent is in the center of the ceiling. Case 3 indicates the condition that the horizontal vent is far away from the vertical vent. Case 2 indicates the condition that the horizontal vent is installed between Case 1 and Case 3. The temperature distribution, smoke layer temperature, velocity distribution, and mass flow rate of horizontal vent flow were analyzed. In Case 2, the temperatures were lowest and the mass flow rate through the horizontal vent was largest. This is because the flame is inclined by the inflow through the vertical vent. Hence, to determine the proper horizontal vent location for the high smoke ventilation performance, the inflow through the vertical vent and its effect on flame behavior should be considered.

Recently, the free-form buildings are continuously increasing in the world. However, due to the shortage of experience and technology in the project of the free-form buildings, problems such as increase of construction cost, increase of air and deterioration of construction quality are occurring. In this study, data on the 27 free-form projects in Korea and abroad using digital fabrication were collected through the journals, reports, articles, and websites of the institutes and case studies were conducted based on the collected data. Based on the following case analysis, we conducted evaluation of case data analysis based on the knowledge domain specified in PMBOK. Evaluation of case data analysis shows that the application of digital fabrication is divided into positive and negative effects for each knowledge area in the free-form building project. Using the results of the analysis, we can confirm the knowledge field showing the positive effect on the free-form building project by using digital fabrication. However, the data scale of the project using the digital fabrication is not realized at present and research is insufficient. In Korea, a small number of specialists were interviewed and verified because experts do not exist much in korea. Therefore, this study is expected to suggest the necessity of applying digital fabrication in the free-form building projects in the construction industry.

Construction incidents, mechanisms and causes in Geotechnical Engineering have been closely reviewed for the safety assurance during design and construction stages. The safety assurance is clearly related to the observational method in which design is reviewed during construction and contingency actions are undertaken successfully to minimise any potential failures. The observational method has been extensively applied for the construction of subways underground structures, dams and many important Civil Engineering projects in the past 20 years. But the number of serious construction incidents are growing for the past several decades. Therefore present development of observational method and improvement techniques are introduced with some case histories.

The number of safety accidents of the construction industry is higher than other industries. To prevent the accidents from hazard factor, the employees are variously trained in avoiding an accident. Also many studies have been conducted to reduced the safety accident. But most of these studies are limited to institutional complements. This study proposes safety management improvement plan of safety management through case studies.

For international projects in general and the projects in the Gulf area in Particular, the most common cause of construction disputes and claims is construction delay. This paper will present different surveys to identify the causes of delay, the parties responsible, and how delay can be avoided. This paper will outline how these factors impact damage assessment and entitlement. Furthermore, a case study will be presented to show how the responsibility and damages due to delay are assessed and how entitlements are calculated.

Current construction project processes pose difficulties for construction management as inefficient communication between project participants seldom accurately reflects the needs of the owner. To solve this problem, lean construction-based Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), which facilitates cooperation and builds trust through the formation of horizontal relationships among participants, is becoming increasingly popular. However, although lean construction-based IPD improves productivity in the construction industry, few studies have focused specifically on developing effective methods that maximize the benefits gained from lean construction-based IPD. This study therefore analyzed success factors for lean construction-based IPD projects by analyzing prior studies to identify factors that support IPD success. Application methods were analyzed and an example of how they are actually used in the field was examined through an in-depth single case analysis. The findings of this research can be applied to support lean construction-based IPD projects in Korea, improving their efficiency and boosting owner satisfaction.

Due to harsh conditions of construction site, understanding of current feature of terrain and other infrastructures is critical issue for site managers. However, because of difficulties in acquiring the geographical information of the construction sites such as large sites and limited capability of construction workers, comprehensive site investigation of current feature of construction site is not an easy task for construction managers. To address these circumstances of construction sites, this study deduce difficulties and applicabilities of unmanned aerial vehicle in the area of construction site management. To confirm applicability of UAV in civil construction project, case study have been conducted on the road construction project. The result of case study proved that the developed system is one of promising technologies that has been studied in construction site management. To improve applicability of UAV for construction and process management information, law and technical issues will be an important area of future study.

This study aims to calculate the $CO_2$ emissions by the properties of construction waste to establish a LCI DB of construction waste generated at the disuse stage. The $CO_2$ emissions from apartment houses was calculated by calculating the energy consumptions by treatment steps to calculate the $CO_2$ emissions by the treatment steps of construction waste. As a result of analyzing the $CO_2$ emissions from a total of 27 complexes, maximum 46,791g-$CO_2/m^2$, minimum 34,893g-$CO_2/m^2$ and average 38,713g-$CO_2/m^2$ were generated, and were varied by the quantity of construction waste in general, but were affected by the transportation distance in case of transportation steps as well. As a result of analyzing the $CO_2$ emissions by the properties of construction waste, average 19,815.50g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the highest, from the example complex at the demolition stage in case of construction wastes, and 1.72g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the lowest, during reclamation. In case of combustible waste, average 11,495.63g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the highest, from the example complex during incineration of wastes, and 21.48g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the lowest, at the waste transportation stage. In case of noncombustible waste, average 522.43g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the highest, from the example complex at the demolition stage, and 1.07g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the lowest, at the transportation stage. In case of other construction wastes, average 645.42g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the highest, from the example complex at the demolition stage, and 47.38g-$CO_2/m^2$ was generated, the lowest, at the middle treatment stage.
