With the increasing use of tower cranes higher than free standing height, the importance of lateral support is also growing. Since the fall of 43 tower cranes hit by the last typhoon 'Mami' in 2003, regulations and concerns about safety of construction equipment have increased and construction laws regarding lateral support have been strengthened. In Korea, where there are many large-scale apartment housing construction works with the development of new towns, Rope Guying is a more economical construction method than Wall Brace which fixes building structure like building wall and slab. The safety of this Rope Guying is not verified and many construction works are still carried out based on the experience of site managers. There has been no case of construction work where frame and measurements are applied. The objective of this study is to examine the safety of Rope Guying method and ensure the effective implementation of equipment and prevention of disasters.

Tower cranes are essential equipments that play a key role in the overall process of large-scale construction projects, as well as high-rise apartments construction projects. Tower cranes hoist various loads near and over people, working in crowded environments, sometimes in overlapping work areas, and often under the constraints of time, budget, and labor. This work system further increases the safety risks of sites with inherently hazardous workplaces. The methodology of this research was based on a comprehensive inquiry of a team of experts, including safety managers and equipment managers of major construction companies and previous literature search. Due to the limited resources available to improve safety and prevent accidents, more attention should be paid to all parties involved in factors that have been evaluated to have a significant impact on site safety due to tower crane operations.

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.

As buildings become higher, larger, and more complex, safety issues for construction workers working at such environments become more important. We analyzed 83 critical accident cases reported to the KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency) for construction cranes by types of cranes and by patterns of accidents and causes. There are more number of accidents related to mobile cranes than that related to tower cranes, but the numbers of dead were similar in both cases. The most dominant cause of crane accidents was "fall of materials". We also analyzed the cases of crane accidents using the FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) in order to set up a priority for safety management and also to prioritize research and development items relating tower cranes. In the process, we tried to eliminate subjective indexes such as an expert group survey and use objective and quantitative indexes. As a result, it was found that critical crane accidents occurs most during the "lifting and translating" activity.

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.

The paper is concerned with application to develop the expert system, which structural analysis and design process for tower cranes. The system is organized into three groups. One is pre-processor for creating input data files, another is `model former' which combines knowledge-base with inference engine for automatic generating structural analysis models, a third is application group for final analysis checks. In this study, geometric subroutine of `model former' designates node positions, nodes, elements numbers and element types. Load data subroutine computes weight of tower crane and device, slewing force, cargo load, wind force form rules or equations in knowledge-base. Also, Property and boundary subroutine applies element properties and boundary conditions to suitable elements and nodes. Design and analysis expert system for tower crane integrates these subroutine, `model former' and pre-processor. RBR(Rule-Base Reasoning) was adopted for a reasoning strategy of this expert system. And this expert system can produce structural analysis model and data, which can be used in ordinary structural analysis program (SAP, ADINA or NASTRAN, etc.). In this paper, this expert system produces format of the analysis model data, which are used in MSC/NASTRAN. The main discussions included in the paper are introduction of the tower crane and structural analysis, composition of the design expert system for tower crane and structural analysis using the expert system.

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.

To gain insight into the wind-induced safety concerns associated with attached tower cranes during the construction of super-tall buildings, a 606 m level frame-core tube super-tall building is selected to investigate the wind-induced vibration response and fragility of an outer-attached tower crane at all stages of construction. The wind velocity time history samples are artificially generated and used to perform dynamic response analyses of the crane to observe the effects of wind velocity and wind direction under its working and non-working resting state. The adverse effects of the relative displacement response at different connection supports are also identified. The wind-resistant fragility curves of the crane are obtained by introducing the concept of incremental dynamic analysis. The results from the investigation indicate that a large relative displacement between the supports can substantially amplify the response of the crane at high levels. Such an effect becomes more serious when the lifting arm is perpendicular to the plane of the connection supports. The flexibility of super-tall buildings should be considered in the design of outer-attached tower cranes, especially for anchorage systems. Fragility analysis can be used to specify the maximum appropriate height of the tower crane for each performance level.

기존의 양중부하의 계산은 단순히 자재묶기 $\cdot$ 상승 $\cdot$ 설치 $\cdot$ 하강의 4단계로 산정한다. 이는 타워크레인의 양중작업과 관련되는 다른 영향요인을 고려하지 못한다는 단점을 내포하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존 타워크레인의 양중작업에서 시간을 예측하는데 고려하지 못하였던 많은 요인을 도출하고자 하였으며 이를 통해 타워크레인의 양중작업시 요구되는 양중시간에 대한 예측모델을 구축하였다. 타워크레인의 양중시간을 정확히 예측하기 위해서 양중시간에 영향을 미치는 변수를 자재관련, 타워크레인의 특성, 양중작업관련 타워크레인 운용 및 기상상황과 관련하여 28개의 다양한 변수들을 식별하였다. 이를 통해 타워크레인의 양중작업 시 요구되는 양중시간에 대한 예측모델을 구축하였다. 타워크레인의 양중시간 예측을 정확히 산정하기 위해 예측모델을 상차양중모델과 하차양중모델로 구분하였고 양중에 미치는 영향요인을 양중대상에 따라 선별하여 다중회귀분석의 과정을 거쳐 그 신뢰도를 높이도록 하였다.
