In this paper, we designed, constructed and evaluated the system for the FTTH suited to a residence and apartment using CWDM-PON techniques. These systems have capacity to service at 100Mbps rate to 384 users in the same breath. Also, the services include the internet, CATV, IPTV and wireless LAN. In the case of ire network, the data could be transmitted by UTP cable and optical fiber and case of wireless one, the data transmitted using WLAN. The distance between the cental office and the user is 20km and the data rate is 100Mbps maximum. Of course, the optical network used just one fiber optical core. For the basic material, we obtained the characteristics of optical transceiver module, Mux/Demux and transmission qualities depends on the environment.

SIP has been widely used as a low noise and vibration piling method in Korea. But the quality control of SIP was not properly settled down and field workers did not fully understand the principle of SIP method. So not a less troubles were raised at construction site and bearing capacity was not fully mobilized. To settle these problems, Korea National Housing Corporation amended the construction and load test criteria of SIP in 2002. After load tests on the SIPs installed in field according to the new criteria, we found that the bearing capacity in field vs the design load ratio increased and bearing characteristics was enhanced than that installed by the former criteria. To consider the enhanced bearing characteristics in the pile design and determine the adequate design criteria, this paper analyzed the accuracy of design criterion which were commonly used in Korea comparing with the load test results. Analysis result shows that Meyerhof criteria(1976) properly simulates the bearing capacity of SIP installed by the new construction and load test criteria.

The Ruhr area in the Northwestern Germany grew rapidly from the 1850s based on coal mining and iron and steel industries, playing a key role as an engine of industrial growth. Since the 1950s, however, the area has been experiencing a serious economic crisis as the traditional industries declined. The crisis was comprised of increasing unemployment and abandoned industrial lands and facilities. Oberhausen and Gelsenkirhen are typical cities of the Ruhr, characterized by such economic crisis. Oberhausen attempted to solve the problems by developing a large leisure town, composed of a sopping mall, restaurants, and other arts and cultural activities, on a former steel mill site. Gelsenkirhen, on the other hand, went on to promote renewable energy industries, business incubators, and energy-saving housing complexes. This paper analyses the processes and outcomes of urban revitalization policies of the two cities, based on the path dependence theory, and draws theoretical and policy implications.

As piling works in urban area are increasing, SIP which has low noise & vibration piling method takes the place of driven pile which has good bearing charateristics and is economical. Although SIP has been used far more than 15 years and it's use is increasing year by year, accurate analysis of bearing mechanism of SIP is not enough. So the design of SIP is much more conservative than driven pile. This paper is aimed at analysing the bearing charateristics of 103 SIPs constructed in Korea to give rational design criteria. Research result shows that bearing capacity of SIP is 40% lower than that of driven pile and conservative Meyerhof(20$\bar{N}_b'A_b$) method produced closer result to load test results than any other design method. And this result shows that in order to use optimised design criteria for the economical SIP design, quality control criteria must be settled down to produce high bearing capacity.

Green Frame was developed to embody a Green structural system that can provide long life, resource reduction, and availability of remodeling in apartment buildings. Composite precast concrete column and beam, the major structural material of Green Frame, can be installed precisely and promptly through connection of steels and concrete. The connection of Green Frame can be divided into four types, based on the method and characteristics of connection. To select an appropriate type for the site, a comparative analysis of the four types is necessary. The objective of this study is to compare the duration, cost, quality, and safety of four types. The findings of this study can be applied during the selection that appropriate composite precast concrete column reflected project characteristics in design phase.

The EAC(Estimate at Completion) among existing methods, which estimate cost and time effectively, help managers anticipate changeable several results at the point of $15{\sim}30%$ in the project progress. However, this method may cause such some problems as not to consider the periodically changing circumstances caused by construction risks or uncertainties which can affect the cost and time in the project, and to regard collected and accumulated data only as a single value when predicting the results on the progress. Accordingly, it is very difficult to accept the even small range of variability based on the anticipation of EAC. Consequently, the study focuses on the possibility methodology to anticipate time and cost accurately on the way to utilize EVMS(Earned Value Management System), and also suggest the way to perform the right estimation of EAC as considering various risks and uncertainties in construction projects.

Large scale survey database may contain some erroneous data or missing data. Incomplete or erroneous data may be produced in the process of data collection or data capture. Since erroneous data can cause some bias and inconsistency, data editing, which is the procedure for detecting and adjusting individual errors in data records, is a very important work in statistical survey. In this paper, we introduce an editing process for the housing price survey to enhance discussions on that topic. We explain how to decide some appropriate edit rules and show some related data. Furthermore, we describe input editing procedures which is appropriate for on-line survey and how to find and eliminate erroneous data through output editing.

Multi-trade Contract Method was introduced as a means of cutting down construction cost of public housing for low income people. Before a specific project delivery method is applied to large public construction project, it is necessary to discuss all the issues raised up from all the parties in construction industry and all the issues which can impact project performance. Thus the interviews were conducted with industrial professionals from diverse organizations and previous studies were investigated to figure out how this newly introduced project delivery method may impact owner's role and responsibility and project performance in terms of cost, schedule, quality and risk. Under the Multi-trade Contract Method, project owner's management tasks will be highly increased, so it should be checked out if the owner can do its role and responsibility. Public owner's organization also needs to be changed and proper project management procedure and system need to be established. In addition, for efficient application of Multi-trade Contract Method, public owner should consider diverse management approach to deliver the project, and how to select and maintain qualified specialty trades.

The main purpose of this study is to identify the tasks performed at the construction stage of apartment houses and analyze the major construction tasks that may affect the performance indicators and analyze the impact on project performance. Based on expert opinions through preliminary research, pilot data, construction database, and other research trends, domestic and foreign research trends are divided into five major tasks, and each is divided into process management (P'1 ~ P'6), construction management (C'1 ~ C'5), environmental management (E'1 ~ E'4), quality control (Q'1 ~ Q'5), safety management (S'1 ~ S'5). Subsequently, each major task was subdivided into 24 detailed tasks. An independent t-test was conducted to analyze the impact on cost. We compared the importance of achieving the project goal and identified the construction work of concrete important construction which affects not only the cost but also the schedule performance index for the degree of significance of less than 0.05.

Recently, various problems such as reduced productivity, insufficient inflow of skilled manpower, reduced quality, and concerns about increasing safety accidents have appeared in the domestic construction industry. Stakeholder of construction project are considering the Off-Site Construction (OSC) method rather than the conventional on-site construction as an alternative. Despite the importance of decision making in the early stage of the adoption of OSC, there is a lack of methodologies for rational decision making. In this study, a decision making system has been developed to derive the final construction cost score by deriving the project characteristics, selecting the construction difficulty index, and developing a cost model for each construction method alternatives to calculate the standard construction cost. Using this system, the OSC method can be effectively evaluated in terms of its feasibility in the early stage of construction
