Introduced was a new anti-corrosive method with improved ease of construction, economy, and durability that could be applicable for steel-composite drilled shaft. The feasibility and economy of sea-water-resistant steel was evaluated under the assumption that it was to substitute carbon steel for steel casing of drilled shaft foundation as a load carrying structural member not just as a sacrifice casing, and that anti-corrosive protection measures as required by the domestic standards was applied. Sea-water-resistant steel was found to cost 30% to 55% more, depending on pile diameter and the type of applied anti-corrosive measures, than carbon steel for the service life time of 70 years: 50% to 90% more for 100 years of service life.

Even in Korea the number of steel structure buildings that allow internal space and easy change of their layouts in accordance with the purpose of buildings and box-type steel bridges constructed with thick plates with thickness in a rage just from a few $\beta$AE to \$100\beta$AE is increasing these days and therefore, domestic fabrication and processing technology of members for steel structures is being improved at a pace faster than in the past to meet the growing requirements of consumers for high reliability on quality control on the related steel structures. However, most domestic fabricators os steel structures who are turning out their steel products in accordance with the designs prepared by engineering companies in their respective works for the sake of cost cut more than anything else, hesitating to introduce any advanced new technology into themselves. In the case of the steel structure design application for small and mid-size buildings in particular, it is quite meaningful not only for those who are involved in steel structure business, but also for the people working at construction work fields to review the result of the study on the connections of steel structure members deigned to obtain superb quality of steel structures within short period for steel fabrication and erection at fields in economical ways, as there is a glowing tendency seeking standardization of connection of steel structure members as well as whole structure together with the development on design of construction system of buildings including their exterior and interior decoration materials, manufacture of the related members and fabrication technique structure. This paper has been prepared with the aim to review the peculiar characteristics of buildings constructed with the main frames of steel structures and actual cases of the change made ing the connections between steel structure columns and between columns and girder members in order to reduce the work period necessary for fabrication and erection of steel structures at the maximum as well as the some examples of steel structures fabricated through automatic welding by robots for box-type columns in addition to the description of the problems found in the course of fabricating those steel structures, suggesting possible counter-measures to solve them.

The steel pipe strut for a means of the retaining structure has been used generally in North America, Europe and China so far. However, Korea and Japan, two countries are much familiar with H-shape steel strut having its anisotropic strength on two different axes(named as strong and weak axes), even though they recognize the steel pipe's excellence of structural function associated with its compressive ability. This trend is mainly due to a number of its field application, accumulated know-hows and workmanship etc. This paper introduces particular features of a high-strength steel pipe strut in comparison with the H-shape steel strut and its application for two excavation sites in Seoul. As a result of field verification, the high-strength pipe steel strut is more effective than the H-shape steel strut in terms of construction costs, schedules, constructibility and structural stability.

Steel cylindrical tanks are widely used for the storage of hazardous substances of which leakage must be prevented under any circumstances. However, the dynamic response of the steel cylindrical liquid storage tank depends sensitively on the fluid-structure interaction and the vibration of the tank structure and necessitates clarification for the safety of the tank structure. This paper presents the results of shaking table tests performed to examine the dynamic behavior of a scaled cylindrical steel tank model considering the presence or not of fixed roof and added mass at the top of the tank for various fluid levels. The test results confirm the occurrence of both beam-type and oval-type vibration modes and show that the larger content of liquid inside the container amplified the acceleration along the height of the cylindrical tank. The oval-type vibration modes are seen to be more dominant in case of large water-to-structure mass ratio.

Ductility pipes, like corrugated steel structures, are expected to reduce its deformation when they are arranged in a row. Verifying this assumption can help make economic designs possible. Though checking the deformation of ductility pipe structures, like corrugated steel structure, decreasing deformation was found when the pipes are arranged in a row. In this way, arranging a corrugated steel structures in a row shows decreased deformation compared to corrugated steel pipes arranged in a single structure because the bedding effect restrains deformation. The deformation rates of reduction are proportionate to the diameter of the corrugated steel structure.

Building costs means capital costs which include cost of land, cost of acquiring and preparing the site, construction costs, engineering fees, furnishings, cost of financing the project, and cost of management required to run and maintenance the building for use. An economic analysis is one of the most important factor to determine the project feasibility. The purpose of the this study is to analysis on the construction cost structure of steel truss stadium.

Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) were considered a new technology for the construction industry. However today this technology has found wider acceptance among the construction industry. Currently, steel fibres are used in varied segments in many application areas across different segments in the construction industry, especially in tunneling, airports, warehouses, etc. Time and safety are the main factors are among the various advantages which renders steel fibres superior to the competing product. For fibers reinforcing, The maximum load carrying capacity is controlled by fibers pulling out of the composite because fiber reinforcing does not have a deformed surface like larger steel reinforcing bars. The study demonstrated that above concept is applicable and effective in concrete structure by analytical study. The analytical result appears that SFRP have the potential to significantly increase the strength of existing concrete structures, while at the same time dramatically improving their fracture energy characteristics.

Ever since the introduction of high strength steel pipe strut(POSTRUT) in 2008, there has been over 50 applications domestically. The merits of construction period reduction and cost savings have been well reported abroad in countries such as America, Europe and China but ever in domestic projects or ground condidtions. 25 actual construction projects were investigated and statistically analyzed to evaluate the quantitative effects of POSTRUT. Also the construction projects along with the cautions that should be taken and the structural behavior differences between POSTRUT and H-section struts are briefly described in this paper.
