There are many apartment buildings with the government's policy of increasing the supply of residential houses in Korea. Roughly 60% of the Korea population are living in apartment buildings. Since the 1970s, the Korean economy has grown enormously, the economic and social structure was radically transformed to industrialization and urbanization step. A village has grown into a large town in Korea and apartment buildings was constructed to solve national housing shortage by the Korean government and the construction company. Since the 2000s, this apartment buildings which was built in the 1970s and 1980s had become gradually deteriorated. So, reconstruction and remodeling project of apartment buildings have been come into request in Korea. There are two way to improve the residential environment. The one is remodeling of apartment buildings and the other is reconstruction of that. Therefore, we carried out questionnaire and survey study of the preference on the reconstruction and remodeling of old aged apartment which were located in daejeon province. As a result, the preference rate of remodeling is increasing instead of reconstruction because reconstruction of apartment buildings takes more money and needs long construction period.

This paper presents compression capacity of transfer system in pilotis subjected to axial load. Recently, transfer system is usually used in low floors of wall-typed apartments when members' sections are suddenly changed between upper walls and bottom columns. It can help transfer loads from the walls to the columns. Especially, a transfer girder system is usually used as one of transfer systems applied to a pilotis. However, the transfer girder system has low constructability and economics. Therefore, the other transfer system with transfer slab was suggested and has been studied. In this paper, to evaluate the compression capacity of transfer slab, tests were conducted on pilotis transfer slab systems subjected to axial load. First of all, two specimens were determined by FEM. The main parameter is length of the bottom columns. The lengh of the bottom columns were 40% and 50% of length of upper walls in the tranfer slab specimens. Results showed that the compression capacity of piloti transfer systems subjected to axial load was affected by length of bottom columns. The compression capacity is 52% higher than design strength for specimen with the bottom column's length of 40% of length of the upper wall and 46% for specimen with the bottom column's length of 50% of length of the upper wall.

This paper verifies the superiority of warming work in winter by applying the insulation gang-form to the apartment housing site and analyzes the economic feasibility of the application. According to the experimental results, the actual cost of warming work was about 52 million won less than planned, and 160 million won less than the existing average.(Note - The cost of gang form material increased from 260 million won to 310 million won after the change) As a result, the construction cost could be reduced by about 110 million won. As the costs of warming work can change depending on the number of floors, the building number, and the area of each site, it is deemed necessary to conduct a thorough review in advance at the site where the cost of warming work is to be applied.

The purpose of this study is to present an improvement of the form work process. The current slab form work has waste factor by unnecessary process and not complete integration with the finishing process. Therefore the study used value stream analysis methodology for effective improvement of slab form work process. The main contents of the study are as follows; 1) Understanding of non-value adding activities in existing slab form work process 2) Process integration by value stream mapping 3) Effect analysis of time-cost reduction. The study recommends that, as a future research, development of tool and technique for the non-value adding activities are eliminated in building construction.

The form-work operation of concrete structures is a major element determining the period and cost of construction projects. However, the selection of the appropriate form-work system is dependent on the experience of the site personnel only. In this paper, existing methods (Aluminum form, Sky deck) and new slab form-work methods (AFB: Aluminum panel Form with dropping Beam) were selected. Each method was estimated by means of Delphi techniques based on the qualitative analysis data. This paper suggests an evaluation methodology of slab form-work application in construction sites by calculating qualitative evaluation scores. The methodology finding quantified scores of qualitative criteria can be available to be applied to other construction operation evaluation methods.

The present with in this country, rock bolt installation, shotcrete, and concrete lining in construction order has become accepted as a general tunnelling method in NATM. On the other hand Unlined tunnelling method, which was developed by many countries near Scandinavian Peninsula with hard rocks comparatively, has recently been introduced all over the world, and numerous studies about that have been being devoted to domestic tunnels. Unlined tunnelling method has been developed on the basis of the permanently unsupported openings, and general 7 requirements for them were suggested by Nick Barton. There are no case record about these conditions for Q-system in this country. Therefore, input parameters for Q-system under these conditions were applied to general road tunnel cross-section and numerical analyses for each condition were executed with UDEC-BB, Distinct Element Method.

We made a study of 3-D migration which could precisely image data of GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) applied to NDT (Non-Destructive Test) field for the inspection of structural safety. In this study, we obtained 3-D migrated images of important targets in structuresurvey (e.g. steel pipes, cracks) by using 3-D Kirchhoff prestack depth migration scheme developed for seismic data processing. For a concrete model consisting of steel pipe and void, the targets have been well defined with opposite amplitude according to the parameters of the targets. And migrated images using Parallel-Broadside array (XX configuration) have shown higher resolution than those using Perpendicular-Broadside array (YY configuration) when steel pipes had different sizes. Therefore, it is required to analyze the migrated image of XX configuration as well as that of general YY configuration in order to get more accurate information. As the last stage, we chose a model including two steel pipes which cross each other. The upper pipe has been resolved clearly but the lower has been imaged bigger than the model size due to the high conductivity of the upper steel.

Recently, there are highly interests on structural damping to improve resistance of seismic and wind. It has been frequently used hysteresis damping devices made of steel because of economic efficiency, construction, and maintenance. This paper presents the effective reduction of seismic response by using Kagome damping system(SKDS) in rahmen system apartment building. The proposed system is designed to be activated by the relative displacement between the building and the stairs. It is performed nonlinear dynamic analysis to review the effects of earthquake response reduction for the 20-stories rahmen framed apartment building. In the analysis of the SKDS system, the reduction of maximum response displacement, maximum response acceleration and layer shear force are compared with the seismic design, and the result show that allowable story displacement is satisfied with Korean Building Code (KBC 2016).

○ ○ tunnel that is located at Iksan - Jangsu freeway ○ ○, has collapsed during construction at the valley with shallow depth. Although, the site investigations, such as TSP, drilling exploration and so of indicated the presence of discontinuities in this section. The RMR was upgraded and the construction were carried out because that not only actual rock qualities were relatively good during construction but also the tunnel foe was stabilized. However, the tunnel was collapsed at the same time blasting of full face, and surface and underground water was infiltrated due to the settlement of the upper part of the tunnel face. To restore the collapsed section, 3-d tunnel stability analysis was performed and suitable reinforcement methods were chosen. The cavity of the upper tunnel face was stabilized by means of UAM and ALC injection. And the settlement was restored using L.W grouting method.

In this study, a revised oil leakage evaluation method for assessing oil leakage stability of asphalt mastics used in upper slabs of below-grade residential parking lots was developed and presented. In order to verify the reliability and reproducibility of leakage results, the parameters the revised evaluation was carried out for three products with actual leakage history, and it was confirmed the leaks could be reproduced whereas the existing methods could not. To quantitatively verify the reproducibility, the filler content of the leaked samples was derived and the maximum filler content was 64% lower than that of the normal sample. The same results was found with the samples from the actual leakage site, thus verifying the reliability of the revised evaluation method.
