Recently, quality problems, such as the collapse of apartment structures under construction, has emerged as a social issue. Although there are various causes of quality problem and the impact of each problem may be different, the problems from the perspective of construction engineer of construction company are investigated. Therefore, this study aim to investigate the adequacy of construction engineer's experience, number of field engineer, timing of engineer deployment at construction sites, etc. in order to resolve quality and safety problems. In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted targeting construction managers to obtain objective opinions. The results showed that the number of construction engineers in construction companies should be increased and that intermediate construction engineers should be increased to enable practical site management for resolving quality and safety problems. In addition, it was found that there was a need to reduce the number of non-regular employed field construction engineers in construction site and at the same time systematically regulate the number of on-site construction engineers, similar to safety managers and quality managers.

The safety management is one of important factors. However, the satisfaction of safety manager is lowering. Therefore, this study focuses on comparing the impact that working conditions have on the job satisfaction of field and safety manager in construction field. The results of in this study, the basic wage, medical care, and leisure activity were analyzed as a positive impact on job satisfaction. In addition, the comparison result of the field manager and safety manager showed that safety manager appeared to be a greater impact on the basic wage than the field manager. Also, this study showed that the medical care and leisure activity have a positive impact on the job satisfaction of field manager, but the industrial accident and accommodation facility have a positive impact on the job satisfaction of safety manager.

The number of construction accident deaths in Korea is increasing and most causes of construction accidents are human factors. Voluntary participation of construction workers in safety activities is likely to improve these human factors and increase the prevention effect of construction accidents. Therefore, there is a need to study the motivation of workers to meet the voluntary participation of construction workers. In this respect, the purpose of this study is to compare the importance of construction field engineers and construction managers about the safety motivation factors of construction workers. This study analyzed the results of the questionnaire survey about safety motivation factors and conducted a T-test for these factors. The results of this study can be used as managing method to effective on-site safety management by minimizing the difference between the two groups according to motivation factors of construction workers.

Recently, It is a fact that the percentage of female field managers has increased in the construction industry. Therefore, this study investigated the percentage of female construction site managers by conducting a survey of current male and female construction site managers and then analyzed the workload, work difficulty, work importance and performance level of female employees in charge of public affairs, which is the most common tasks.

This study has been reorganizing a standard breakdown structure of temporary technique focused on construction site. For this, first of all we, the authors, reviewed features and present statuss of construction temporary technique, and could develop to the standard breakdown structure through studying a construction site and researching a delphi method. By using the standard breakdown structure obtained from this study, it is expected that the application of to information of construction business and plan to a schedule and a work.

In this study, we attempted to derive major management factors related to the quality control of formwork and identified differences in the perceptions of construction engineers, construction managers, and field workers about the importance and performance of the derived factors. As a result of the study, 18 management factors related to the formwork were derived. Among the derived factors, the field workers placed importance on the factors that influence the detailed process of the formwork, while construction engineers placed importance on the factors related to the judgment of the progress and completion of the construction. The construction managers placed importance on the factors that affect the quality of the building frame. Based on the results of this study, it is expected that a plan to improve the quality of formwork that accepts the various opinions of each participant will be established.

Due to the significant size of overseas construction projects, the cost overrun has enormous impacts on the financial status of construction companies. The managers' appropriate perception and identification of key risk factors in the construction phase notably affect the performance of projects. However, the actual impacts of risk factors and local manager' s perception of them could be deviated. For this reason, we aim to compare the performance of actual cases and general opinions of responsible practitioners in terms of risk factors relevant to cost overruns in order to present a practical strategy for risk management. Firstly, factors classified from literature review were used to simulate 290 cost overruns data sets from 20 cases by introducing Monte-Carlo Simulation and were ranked by standardized coefficients through multiple regression analysis. Secondly, a survey was conducted against 42 local managers to rank their perception of impact on cost overrun with identical factors by using Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA). Comparison results show that conflicts such as 'conflict with subcontractors' and 'conflict with the local community' have caused excessive cost overrun. However, managers' perception of these as less significant than the actual influences and consider other risks such as 'material price fluctuation' and 'construction quality errors', as relatively serious. Therefore, education for local managers on conflict risks needs to be presented.

많은 건설 현장에서 카메라와 CCTV(Closed-circuit Television)와 같은 장비를 활용하여 건설 현장의 상황을 모니터링 하고 있다. 하지만 많은 작업이 실외에서 이루어지는 토목 건축공사의 특성상 적절한 수준의 영상 데이터를 축적하는 것은 쉽지 않은 일이다. 특히, 이미지 프로세싱기법을 사용 하여 자동화된 건설 관리의 수행 시, 영상 데이터의 품질에 따라 에러가 발생하여 건설 관리자가 잘못된 정보를 얻게 될 경우도 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 케니엣지(Canny Edge) 인식기법과 워터쉐드(Watershed) 변환, 그리고 3D CAD Mask를 이용한 건축 구조물 기둥의 시공 상황 분석 기법에 근거하여, 영상 데이터 분석 시 오류를 최소화하기 위한 에러 제거 알고리즘을 제시한다. 실제 데이터와 비교를 통하여 그 활용 가능성 또한 검증한다.

최근 설계, 시공되는 건축물은 초고층 또는 대단지 주거시설로서 화재발생시 초기에 빠른 대응이 요구 되나 근무자의 첨단 소방시설관리에 대한 지식은 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 건축물의 대형화로 인한 네트워크제어방식의 효용성을 알아보고 기시공된 현장의 화재수신기 네트워크 운영 실태 및 현황을 파악 하여 관리에 일조하고자 한다. 이를 위해 10개 대형현장의 네트워크를 조사한 결과 경보시스템에 대한 낮은 신뢰도 때문에 타설비와의 시트템구축을 기피하고 있었다. 또한 방재관련 법규의 제한된 규정으로 인한 통신선 사용에 있어서의 문제점도 개선될 필요가 있었다. 아울러 관리자의 잦은 이직으로 인한 기술적 축적 방안 마련, 복지문제와 면적이 넓은 네트워크시스템에 대한 신호처리방법 및 반응시간등에 대한 규정제정이나 운영상 표준화가 필요하였다.

The objective of this study is analyzing of requirements for improvement of the work-life balance of construction managers working in Korean construction companies. A survey has been conducted to analyze the requirements for improvement of construction managers. The survey was conducted on construction managers working in the field of architectural construction. 59 field managers working in 18 Korean construction companies responded to the survey. Upon analysis of the survey, the working hours were excessive and recreational time was very poor for the construction managers. There were differences in the answers regarding the areas that require improvement in the working conditions based on the age groups of the construction managers. A majority of young technicians selected that the recreational time and content of work require improvement, and technicians with a lot of experience selected that the stability of occupation and wage require improvement.
