In this paper, we introduce a new technique for automatic construction of steel frames in high-rise buildings. Basically, we combine advanced robotic technologies to building construction techniques. Four main topics will be developed such as: 1) Planning and synthesis of automatic construction system, 2) Development of construction factory system with climbing oil-pressured robot, 3) Core techniques for automatic assembly for steel frames, and 4) Intelligent resource management system. We expect that this new technique will increase the construction efficiency and will alleviate the manpower shortage problem in the aging society.

The Burj Dubai Project will be the tallest structure ever built by man; when completed the tower will be more than 700 meter tall and more than 160 floors. The early integration of aerodynamic shaping and wind engineering considerations played a major role in the architectural massing and design of this residential tower, where mitigating and taming the dynamic wind effects was one of the most important design criteria. This paper presents a brief overview of the structural system development and considerations of the tower and discusses the construction planning of the key structural components of the tower.

The design composition elements and the mechanical behavior of trusses have been investigated for Pratt trusses. As a result, it was determined that the design composition elements of the trusses consist of the composition of webs, the distance between joints, the chords profile, the depth of the truss, and the double chord composition. In addition, by analyzing models with a variation of elements, comprehensive features of structural behavior have been presented for variations of design of Pratt trusses. This is to provide more effective and useful design information on truss structure in the architectural and structural planning stage.

Several countries including Korea, Japan and European countries have reached the stage of planning, constructing their high-speed railway systems. High-speed train will become a key tool for intercity passenger transportation. Before that, safety of high-speed train must be secured. It is connected directly with track. The track is composed of ballast, tie, fastening and rail. Also, the fastening system makes tie and rail connect. In this case of the railway bridges used concrete slab track, the deflection of the bridge cause uplife of the rail at the areas between segments. In the structural analysis about it, stiffness of the fastening systems has been assumed. Therefore, use of the stiffness according to an experimental study needs. In this study, the stiffness values of various types of fastening systems are determined by the experiment and the structural behavior of fastening system is analyzed.

By means of analyzing the problems in monitoring plan, design, installation, operation based on maintenance monitoring system installed in subway tunnel section, the improved methods of were proposed for applying to subway monitoring maintenance effectively in the future. The choice of the better monitoring system, the operating method of monitoring system, the confidence and continuity of maintenance monitoring, the performance of responsible monitoring supervision in the phase of the planning of monitoring and design were proposed. The problem and developed plan in the different monitoring systems, the calibration and correction of monitoring system, the analysis for the results and plan for maintenance in the phase of installation of monitoring system and operation were also proposed.

Accidents, especially fatal accidents in construction work are being not reduced, but increased, despite of more concerns of related authority and companies themselves. It is investigated that major reasons of which these accident increase are caused to set up wrong temporary structures : scaffolding with insufficient components or safety guards. Approximately 50% of falling accident, one of three major accidents； falling collapsing of structures or soil, accidents from heavy equipments, are due to defects of temporary structures. Therefore, technical standards for these temporary structures made by the ministry of labour in 1984, should be promptly revised because of its insufficient considerations for structural concepts. A method to effectively ensure the construction safety are shown through an experimental method, mathematical analysis structural planning against overturning and collapsing of scaffold-ing components, consideration of safety factor in loading, formulations of safety structure against falling or dropping from schaffolding.

The last 30 years have seen a rapid growth in the number of supertall buildings across the world, with newly completed buildings continuing to rank among the tallest 100 every year. Chinese projects notably play a pivotal role in these constant updates. It is caused by the interweaving of population and urbanization, economic considerations, and further, a series of accompanying urban problems. This paper focuses on the world's 100 tallest buildings in the last 30 years, and compares this collection of projects across five years via the dimensions of height, distribution, function and structural material. The intention is to discuss and interpret the influence factors and developing trends, some of which have been apparent over a dozen years, while others are just beginning to take shape, thus to provide an opportunity to preview the types of supertall buildings in the future.

In this paper, overall planning and design procedure for the marine transportation are examined. For this purpose, marine transportation analysis for the North Nemba deck structure has been carried out. The results of analysis with the rigid barge transportation are compared to those with the barge considering its flexibility. The environmental conditions, especially waves, are shown to be the most important factor which affected on the structural strength, deformation and fatigue damage.

In this study we propose a technology selection model, which captures technology seeds for new business area by a fuzzy structural modeling method and then, design a model, which evaluates the validity of New Business Development plans for the selected technology seeds with regard to the properties of manufacturing, product, market, and economy as well. Finally, a fuzzy inference system is designed in order to decide the degree of success of New Business Development plans based on the preceding validity evaluation.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the form and space of superstructure and to present the characteristics of design innovation and space planning in cruise ships. The exterior design styling and interior space design are induced on the important design concept in cruise ships. The scale and structural daring of the past mega ship and next generation concept is being injected into the current cruise ship design.
