Construction site layout is attracting attention as efficient use of construction site space greatly affects the duration and cost of the overall construction. Therefore, there are many studies that automate and optimize construction site layout planning. However, the usability of construction site, which consists of goal variables of the studies, has still been unknown. Therefore, the authors present the evaluation criteria for usability of construction site layout and evaluate the usability of domestic construction sites through user survey. Furthermore, the difference in usability between construction site managers and construction site workers was confirmed. As a result of the survey, domestic construction site layout had a low effectiveness and had the lowest score in the environment category. In addition, construction site workers scored lower overall than construction site managers. Through such usability evaluation results, it contributed to the construction site layout theory by assessing current construction site layout practice and suggesting an improvement direction for automating site layout planning.

Construction industries is a labor intensive industries. According to Korea Productivity Center, most OECD members indicate high labor productivity more than Korea labor productivity in construction industries. First of all, for increasing labor productivity work efficiency and work condition should be managed by administrator in work site. Especially, work condition could be controlled by the management behaviors of administrator in work site such as work management type. This indicates that work management type could influence strongly work condition. But although that work management type could influence work condition is the characteristic of construction work is recongized to many people, the quantitative analysis on the relationship between work condition and work management type is not enough. Therefore the purpose of this study is to analyze the Influence of Work Management Type on Work Condition.

Weather condition is the uncontrolled factor to influence the project duration. Determining non-working days due to it incorrectly leads to often change the project duration and increase the total cost as well as causing the dispute among stakeholders. When making decision of non-working days, it is important to consider the expert's experience according to the characteristic of the site and local area. Therefore this paper presented the method to estimate non-working days due to wether condition by using fuzzy numbers reflecting expert's subjective experience.

Building construction projects are performed by a number of sub-contractors specialized in diverse trades. Therefore information management among these constituents is quite challenging especially due to exponentially increasing manpower and material resources. In recognition of the importance of information management in project sites a number of systems have been suggested, but the application is limited one of the main reason is that general contractors use these systems and sub-contractor's participation understanding and financial ability are limited. Besides other problems such as loss along communication channel, distortion of information due to inefficient input device and tremendous amount of time and labor are required for collection analysis, and management of information to prepare a daily-report. Therefore the Purpose of this study is to improve reporting process through analyzing current daily reporting system. This paper also suggests the direction of the improved daily reporting system to enhance the performance of construction projects through incorporating sub-contractor's participation in daily reporting system.

Unsafe and dangerous factors or environments on building construction sites often cause safety accidents. Sometimes, accidents happen despite the existence of warning and caution signs. Such warning signs are likely to be hidden by stacked materials or temporary facilities on site. If workers cannot see the signs when moving or working, they could be injured, sometimes fatally. Many studies have focused on each worker's position, and various systems have been developed using GPS signals and sensors. This paper suggests a method for identifying the problem of worker inability to see the unsafe factors, to manage the problem in the construction planning phase by considering things from the worker's perspective. The method uses CAD software to investigate the relation between the height of stacked materials and the visible ratio of the unsafe factor. The results of a sample project show that the changes in the height and location of stacked materials make the site safer.

An electronic initiation system that can support various types of field blasting works has been developed and put into practice. The newly developed equipment called Hanwha Electronic Blasting System (HEBS) II has three basic operation modes of scanning, logging, and tagging, among which the blaster can choose the most suitable one for the specific site conditions. In the present study, the work efficiency of the system in the scanning, logging and tagging modes was compared with that of the previous non-electric detonator. The results were estimated based on the aspects of the ground vibration, fragmentation, and digging time. It was found that the ground vibration, fragmentation, and digging time of the new system were decreased by about 45%, 31%, and 13%, respectively, with respect to the previous system. This result confirms that the new system is very efficient in the scanning, logging and tagging modes under the field conditions.

Lean Construction recommends implementing site production management by measuring the reliability of daily production tasks, collecting the causes for failure of incomplete tasks, and identifying problems in the existing process based on the collected data. Although many research projects have been performed to introduce Lean Construction in Korea, there are not many cases in which day-to-day site production operations has been stringently evaluated based on such methods. This paper introduces three cases in which such techniques were implemented on a residential, civil infrastructure and plant project. On each project, process maps were created with the superintendents and daily production meetings were held for two weeks. Consequently, the average PPC for the three projects was 79% for PPC and 16% for PAT. In addition, the majority of the failures were due to 'Directive/Plan' and 'Prerequisites.' The results show that project stakeholders (owners, contractors, etc.) lack the ability to plan ahead and keep to their plans, and also lack the capability to synchronize workflow between themselves. The results also reveal that project participants need to be more proactive in solving process problems on site and also need to be better educated in Lean concepts and methodologies.

이동식 크레인과 관련한 안전사고가 다발하고 있음에도 국내 대부분의 건설현장에서는 아직도 관리감독자와 크레인 운전자의 경험에 의존하여 장비를 선정하고 운용하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구를 통해 건설현장에서 발생한 이동식 크레인 전도사고사례와 위험성 평가를 실시한 결과 이동식 크레인을 이용한 안전한 자재 양중작업을 위하여 중량물의 무게 형상, 인양장비 제원, 정격하중, 작업반경 등을 고려한 중량물 취급작업계획을 작성 준수하고 이동식 크레인의 제작 설계기준 준수를 위하여 이동식 크레인 제조사에서 제공하는 사용(취급)설명서를 준수하며 위험성 평가 결과가 실제 이동식 크레인을 사용한 양중작업에 적용 가능하도록 지속적인 관리 등이 요구됨을 알 수 있었다.

생산일정계획 수립 시스템을 통하여 수립된 생산계획을 현장에서 실천하고자 할 때, 일반적으로 계획수립 후 얼마 지나지 않아 계획수립시 고려할 수 없었던 기계고장 또는 자재조달 지연, 작업 지체, 주문 취소 등과 같은 요인으로 생산일정을 계획대로 실천할 수 없는 경우가 발생한다. 이런 상황에서는 기존의 생산계획을 계속 실행할 수 없으므로 손쉽게 대처할 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 일정계획편집기를 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 대안으로 제시한다. 일정계획편집기를 GUI, 객체지향적 설계를 통해 구현하므로서 이상상황과 일정변동에 효과적으로 대처할 수 있다. GUI환경을 통해, 수립된 생산일정과 이상상황, 작업진척, 수행도 등을 화면에 Gantt 도표로 표시해 주어 현장 파악을 용이하게 하고 작업추가, 삭제, 작업시간 변경, 대체공정으로의 이동 등의 편집을 mouse와 icon을 이용, 편리하게 수행할 수 있다. 편집작업시 자동으로 생산일정의 타당성을 만족시켜 줄 수 있는 지능화를 위한 기초 단계로서 객체지향설계를 이용한 규칙기반 일정계획 편집기를 설계한다.
