In the nuclear power plant, the steel or polymer liner plates are adopted to prohibit the inner concrete surface from contacting with gas or liquid materials. If there is an accident, the plate may be damaged, and, in this case, concrete shall have the final responsibility to safety requirements. In this paper, an experimental research was carried out to investigate the effects of construction joint and wet and loading conditions on the permeability of concrete. The test results showed that, under a construction joint in the wet condition, leakage of gas pressure has been started from $1kg/cm^2$. However, when there are no construction joints, it is initiated from $2kg/cm^2$. In addition, under the air dried and unloading condition, regardless of with or without the presence of the construction joint, since the gas passage that exist in concrete is constant, leakage has a constant tendency to increase. Finally, under the loading condition, as described in Reference 1, since leakage is inversely proportional to the thickness of the wall, and, considering the wall thickness of the actual plant, it is found that there will not be no problem in the sealing of the gas.

In this research, the surface covered curing method using the double-layered bubble sheet was evaluated. This double-layered bubble sheet has outstanding insulating performance with its low heat conductivity and high economic feasibility with its high durability. However, in the case of wall-typed building construction, the area of exposed rebar is curious on curing performance with the double-layered bubble sheet in spite of the double-layered bubble sheet showed favorable performance for slab. Therefore, in this research, regarding the actually constructed wall-typed apartment building, the most efficient curing method was suggested based on the evaluation of curing performance depending on temperature distribution depending on various location of covered or exposed rebar. As a result, the D method was determined as the most efficient curing method without any concern of early-age frost damage. However, by considering easiness of construction, the B method of covering the pieced double-layered bubble sheet on gap between rebars can be another option of desired result.

Usage of bicycle has been supported the universal reduction of energy consumption and $CO_2$. For the same purpose, new constructions for long length bike roads are planned in Korea. Recently, laboratory tests of physical properties and resistance against environmental loading about optimum mix design of roller compacted concrete, that have advantages of high structural performance by cement hydration and aggregate interlocking, simple construction procedure and low construction cost, are performed for the effective construction of new bike roads. However, properties of roller compacted concrete had different results between laboratory and field tests since it had different compaction method. Also, construction method of roller compacted concrete are not defined for the application of bike roads since it had different demand performance such as thin pavement thickness, low strength and etc with road pavements. Thus, in this experimental research was launched to evaluate the core properties, visual inspection, compaction ratio, water content, thickness reduction rate of roller compaction, skid resistance and roughness by experimental construction about variable mix proportion and compaction method based on laboratory test results. And construction method of roller compacted concrete pavement were suggested for the application of bike roads.

This paper suggests a proper hydraulic filling method in downtown areas. Road subsidence on roadways and sidewalks in downtown areas can result in vehicle damage and casualties. The representative cause of road subsidence is the fraudulent construction in nearby construction sites. A deficiency of excavation restoration causes approximately 25~49% of subsidence. This is performed by equipment or manpower. Hydraulic filling is used in backfilling narrow pipe conduits and spaces between structures. On the other hand, standard specifications and quality assurance standards regarding hydraulic filling principles and construction conditions are insufficient. Therefore, in-door model experiments on hydraulic filling principles, backfilling material, and compaction efficiency were performed. This paper suggests guidelines by investigating and analyzing construction status. In conclusion, thrown backfilling material has a particle size distribution and permeability coefficient as major factors, and detailed standards of the factors are suggested. To improve the compaction efficiency, 90% or more, compaction by the floor should be in units of 0.3m while ensuring a lower drainage layer. When an H-shape stabilizing pile is pulled out after filling, additional hydraulic filling should be in the disturbance range.

Although the flat plate system is an efficient structural type due to the simplicity of its construction, the low story height, and the various plan design, the slab-column connections are vulnerable to punching shear failure from gravity load and eccentric shear failure from lateral load. To prevent the structure collapse, various construction methods of slab-column connection reinforcement are developed but none of these satisfies all of structural performance, economics, and constructability. This paper presents the reinforcement of slab-column connection with lattice bars. The structural performance is confirmed with the interior slab-column connection tests subjected to cyclic loading, and the economic feasibility is demonstrated from the structural design under the same condition with lattice bars, stud rails, and stirrups.

D&B(Drill & Blast) method in tunnel construction requires accurate and rapid measurement of the ground movement, which is essential for feedback analysis. Case study and adaptability of IT technique for tunnel survey are discussed in this paper. The application of laserscannig and existing light wave instrument method in the field of tunnel construction were reported in several advanced country including Austria and Japan. Survey for the shoulder movements by IT survey method was conducted at a subway construction site and the results were compared to the conventional method. Also, the economic aspects of laserscannig method were analyzed using measured data which were categorized by expenses, frequency, interval and period in the field of construction. Therefore IT survey solution may contribute to execute more economic and safe construction

The permeability of HMA(hot mixed asphalt) is a major influencing factor for long-term performance of the pavement. Especially, the lift thickness of the pavement during construction causes a wide range of physical properties of HMA. This study investigates the correlationship between the lift thickness and the physical properties of HMA through a series of laboratory experiments. The specimens were cored from a construction site of the dense graded asphalt pavement. The cored samples have various lift thickness and the number of compaction for the study. The results of the study show that the permeability of the sample decreases with the apperant density and t/NMAS, and the air void ratio. Therefore, the commonly used construction method as a constant lift thickness regardless of conditions needs to be reconsidered.

As the turbine capacity and the water depth of wind farms are increasing, the construction cost of substructures and foundations for offshore wind turbines is expected to increase. Since the installation of suction bucket foundation is achieved by both self-weight and applied suction, the construction generally does not require heavy equipment for penetration. This study provides an economic analysis on the tripod which have the bucket foundations and compares that the jacket foundation at 50m water depth on sand layer or soft layer. As the strength of the soil and the number of the foundation is increasing, the construction cost of the tripod with the bucket foundations is more economically feasible than the jacket foundation.

도심지 터널의 설계, 시공 그리고 유지관리에 있어서 지반 변위 억제와 변형거동 예측은 중요하다. 국내 외 연구자들은 다양한 수치해석적인 기법과 현장 계측 결과를 이용하여 터널 시공과 관련된 변형거동 예측을 시도하였다. 하지만, 설계물성치의 산정과 지반 모델링 그리고 수치해석기법과 관련된 사용상의 어려움에 의해 아직까지 만족스러운 결과를 얻지는 못하였다. 본 논문은 수치해석적인 기법과 인공신경망을 이용하여 도심지 NATM 터널의 설계 물성치 산정과 변형거동 예측에 관한 방법을 제안하였다. 인공신경망 모델 개발을 위한 학습과 테스트과정은 데이터베이스된 수치해석결과를 이용하였다. 개발된 인공신경망 모델은 입력변수인 지반변위와 결과변수인 설계 물성치 간의 상호관계를 적절히 인식할 수 있다. 수치해석은 지반의 연화거동을 모사할 수 있는 변형률 연화모델을 적용하였다. 사례분석에 있어서 굴착 초기단계의 계측 값을 개발된 인공신경망 모델에 입력하여 설계 물성치를 계산하였으며, 수정된 설계 물성치는 수치해석을 통하여 다음 굴착단계에서의 터널 주변의 지반 변형거동을 예측하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법을 토대로 시공조건이 엄밀한 도심지 터널의 설계물성치의 정량적인 평가 및 변형거동 예측이 계측이 입수된 초기 굴착단계에서 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Installation of a proper root barrier in a green roof system is very important in order to protect the concrete slab of roof and the root penetration in the waterproofing layer. To select the proper root barrier materials and methods, it is necessary to understand the environmental conditions affecting the waterproofing-root barrier system in green roof construction site. Therefore, we suggested as the environmental performance indexes four kinds of performance requirements; root penetration, chemical attack by chemical agent or fertilizer, load impact by soil depth and size of plant, and water pressure. The related four test methods were suggested for the inspection of these performance indexes. In this research, we could suggest for kinds of test methods as standard test methods to evaluate the environmental performance of waterproofing-root barrier for greening roof system.
