Despite the many advantages of modular housing, low preference for modular housing for consumers who are familiar with RC structure leads to high construction cost of modular housing. The cost of modular buildings is about 130% of that of RC structures, so it is urgent to secure economical efficiency of modular buildings. Therefore, in this study, after calculating the savings amount of modular housing by type of construction work, economic analysis was conducted from a long - term perspective. In order to carry out the research, the authors compiled and analyzed the material cost, labor cost, and expenses incurred by each type of work by reclassifying the statement of the modular housing into the factory production and the site installation. After that, Pareto diagrams were created to find a core work that is included in the cost ratio of about 80%, and selected it as a cost reduction subject. Based on the assumption that the market size of domestic modular housing is similar to the level of modular advanced countries such as Japan and European countries, six cost reduction methods were set up that reflects the characteristics of the modular construction method and used for the expert interviews. Cost saving potentials in percentage from the interview were converted to the amount of savings that can be achieved by each type of method when applying the method. Finally, the findings of the study are expected to suggest long-term directions for technical development for modular construction and cost savings.

하천 유량자료는 조사 목적에 따라 시간, 일, 월 등 다양한 시간범위를 갖는다. 이러한 특성을 갖는 유량 자료를 확보하기 위해 정해진 시간에 유량측정을 시행하는 것은 경제적, 기술적으로 매우 어려운 일이다. 따라서 연속적인 유량생산은 상대적으로 연속측정이 용이한 수위자료를 연속측정하고, 간헐적인 유량측정을 통하여 수위-유량관계를 수립하여, 수립된 관계를 연속적으로 측정된 수위자료에 대입하여 이루어진다. 그러나 준설에 의한 하상변동, 가물막이 등 하천횡단 구조물 설치에 따른 통제특성 변화, 공사 등에 의한 하천경사 변화 등에 의해 수위-유량관계의 연속적인 변화가 발생할 경우 하나의 수위-유량관계로 연속적인 유량환산이 불가능하게 된다. 따라서 자연현상 및 각종 공사에 의해 하도 특성이 변화할 경우 신뢰도 높은 유량을 신속하게 제공할 수 있는 새로운 기법 적용이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 4대강 사업구간에 위치한 유량관측소에서 전통적인 수위-유량관계 곡선법, 기간분리에 의한 방법, Stout 방법, 비유량법 등 다양한 방법을 활용하여 연속 유량자료를 생산 기법을 제시하고자 한다.

Activity durations retain probabilistic and stochastic natures due to diverse factors causing the delay or acceleration of activity completion. These natures make the final project duration to be a random variable. These factors are the major source of financial risk. Extending the Stochastic Project Scheduling Simulation system (SPSS) developed in previous research; this research presents a method to estimate how the final project duration behaves when activity durations change randomly. The final project cost is estimated by considering the fluctuation of indirect cost, which occurs due to the delay or acceleration of activity completion, along with direct cost assigned to an activity. The final project cost is estimated by considering how indirect cost behaves when activity duration change. The method quantifies the amount of contingency to cover the expected delay of project delivery. It is based on the quantitative analysis to obtain the descriptive statistics from the simulation outputs (final project durations). Existing deterministic scheduling method apply an arbitrary figures to the amount of delay contingency with uncertainty. However, the stochastic method developed in this research allows computing the amount of delay contingency with certainty and certain degree of confidence. An example project is used to illustrate the quantitative analysis method using simulation. When the statistical location and shape of probability distribution functions defining activity durations change, how the final project duration and cost behave are ascertained using automated sensitivity analysis method

This report surveyed degradation of forest environment and rehabilitation in Ashio of Japan. Since 1880, a large scale forestry in this area has been destroyed by sooty smoke, and the local government invested heavily to rehabilitate the damaged forestry and denuded mountains. These degradations are due to complex operations, such as sulfurous acid gas from copper refinery, forest fires, steep slope and disadvantageous climate. The rehabilitation works on degraded forestry(2,399ha) were undertaken by tree planting fur three years from 1897. However, forest degradation and disasters were continued, and the total damaged areas were about 2,400~3,000ha in 1956. A Manual labor method, a Helicopter method and also Combination of manual labor and helicopter method had been adopted to rehabilitation works from 1945 to 1996, while 828.19ha of the degraded mountains was rehabilitated. Total investment for those projects was 80 billion yen. A debris control dam, a soil arresting structure, a vegetation-block, a vegetation sack measures and tree planting have implemented significantly fur the method of rehabilitation. An objective of manual labor works is a complete rehabilitation on each place through 3 stage working. The revived green areas accounted fur 49% of the total, and the entire afforest areas are less than 10%. In coming 25 years, an amount of 21.3 billion yen will be invested to rehabilitate 564ha of degraded mountain lands. However, it is impossible to estimate that how long it will take until the whole degraded mountain lands are completely rehabilitated. Rehabilitation works in Ashio may be applicable to environmental restoration and revegetation in the abandoned coal-mine lands of Korea.

One of the main functions of the 4D system includes visualizing numerical schedule data in construction. The existing 4D tools have an excellent function for simulating building projects that all activities are progressed according to vertical work zone. However, it is not easy to implement all of it in the civil engineering project because the construction activities of highway and railway projects are progressed on the horizontal work zone and the 4D simulation for those projects should include earthwork objects that depend on the natural ground condition. This study suggests a new methodology for improving those limitations of 4D system for the civil engineering project and develops a new system by the suggested methodology. To verify the developed system, this study attempts to simulate 4D object for horizontal elements such as earthwork, paving work and tunneling work. The morphing and multi-texturing techniques developed in the study can be new approaches to simulate 4D object for the earthwork such as cutting and banking whose activities are progressed on the natural ground condition. The research results can be expected as a draft function for improving the application of 4D system in civil engineering projects.

The rock excavation work on the sea is planned as underwater process if the elevation of the rock is lower than the M.S.L.(Mean Sea Level). However, in case of West and South sea which are largely different between the rise and fall of the tide, the earth work can be performed on the ground while the work surface is exposed above the sea according to the tide cycle. Thus, it may a good substitute to make up for shortcomings of underwater construction works such as safety problems of workers, loss of efficiency and increasement of construction costs. But the difference between the height of the rock excavation surface and the water surface changed by the tide makes the exposure time of work surface, that is the possible working hours be changed. Also, it may cause the changes of construction cost. Thus, this study analyzes the economical efficiency of the construction method using the difference between the rise and fall of the tide in comparison with the construction method which is performed under the sea, and it also suggests the way to analyze the economical working hours by estimating the possible working hours on the ground. We also try to find out the application possibility of the way like the rock excavation work on the sea using the difference between rise and fall of the tide.

Recently, the injection of cement stabilizer is used as one of ways to improve soft sea-bottom. However, this method makes an argument with $Cr^{6+}$subject to emerge to the seawater from the cement stabilizer. To investigate the amount of$Cr^{6+}$field measurements were carried out in Ochun harbor of Chunsoo Bay. The analysis shows the amount of $Cr^{6+}$in the seawater met the demand of environmental criterion.

최근 환경문제에 대한 일반인의 관심고조와 함께 3D 기피현상에 따른 철근공, 거푸집공 등의 기능노동자의 부족, 고령화, 외국인노동자 고용 현상과 낮은 노동생산성은 건설업계의 심각한 현안이다. 과거에는 재료비의 비중이 높았으므로 재료의 낭비를 줄이기 위한 합리화가 추진되었다. 그러나 현재는 노무비 비율의 급격한 증대로 인하여 공기단축이나 합리화, 시스템화를 통해서 경쟁에서 생존해 나가고 있다. 건축공사 중 특히 철근 콘크리트공사는 기술의 발전이 느리고, 시공 방법도 과거의 공법을 그대로 유지하고 있는 실정이다. 건축공사비 중 구체공사의 비율은 30% 정도이고, 그 비용 중 인건비가 50% 정도를 차지하고 있기 때문에 철근 콘크리트 공사는 아직도 기술 집약적인 산업이 아닌 노동 집약적 산업으로 간주되는 결과를 초래하고 있다.(중략)
