Tunnelling has become a preferred method of construction for road and highway projects in countries with a lot of hilly slope geological conditions such as found in Malaysia. However the construction works of a tunnelling project are usually complicated and costly, which consequently impose great risks to the parties involved. This paper identifies the key significant risks and sub-risks for tunnelling construction projects in Malaysia through a case study. Interview has been used as the solitary means to determine the significant risks from contractor's eleven key project personnel who were directly involved in the tunnelling construction such as consultant, construction manager and tunnel engineers. The importance of the risks identified is then prioritised and ranked via the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)'s pairwise comparison approach to determine their criticality towards a successful delivery of project. As a result, three key risks have been identified as significant for the tunnelling case study project, namely health and safety, cost overrun in construction and time overrun in construction. Two sub-risks each of the latter categories, which are cost underestimation and unforeseen events (cost overrun in construction) as well as plant and machinery failure and delay in material delivery (time overrun in construction), have occupied the top five overall risk ranking.

Recently the diversification of construction market and the continuous reduction of construction amount are raising the need of alternative delivery method in the construction industry. The foreign advanced companies actively adopted the CM at Risk delivery method where they perform the service of agent CM in the design phase, and agree GMP(Guaranteed Maximum Price) with the client at the time of 50~80% completion of design. Even in Korea they began to apply that method to pilot projects. In CM at Risk, through the early participation of builder, the level of design completion can be improved and the change order and construction period delay can be minimized. On the other hand, GMP is usually calculated when the design is about 80% complete, so there is uncertainty in the construction cost. Therefore, in this research, the increased amounts of construction cost are analyzed in a number of public construction projects, and GMP calculation process is proposed using the analysis results and CBR(Case-Based Reasoning) technique to reduce the construction cost increase in the construction phase.

Construction defect which can causes economic damage such as schedule delay, cost overrun is a considerably important factor in construction industry. In general, a construction defect features a difficulty to find out causes precisely because it occurs when several interrelated causes combine. Yet, studies have tried to understand the interrelationships between factors are limited. In addition, despite of a tremendous amount of construction data, it's not still enough to analyze them, but tends to depend on experience or know-how of practitioners. Thus, it is necessary to identify underlying causes in influential factors by utilizing related data. This paper analyses Interrelationships between causal factors using Association Rule Mining to discover root causes of construction defects. Confidence and Lift that can be used for presenting the interrelationships of the causes were extracted from 1241 cases in 30 projects in Korea. It is expected that this paper allows the construction managers to discover key factors and make right decisions to reduce occurrence of construction defects. Furthermore, analysis of interrelationships can improve understanding of structural patterns of construction defects.

Recently, structural system of apartment building is changing from wall type to column type to accommodate various life styles of residents in Korea. Reinforced-concrete bearing wall structures have been mainly used in apartment construction since 1980's. It is impossible to remove the bearing wall in case of remodeling a house, so that the lightweight wall is needed to apply to the column type structure of the Long Life Housing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the construction performance of the wall. Constructibility reviews are performed throughout interview survey from builders who charge with managing the construction of the lightweight wall in field. This paper present that constructor prefer the bearing wall rather than the lightweight wall because of the schedule delay, difficulty of management, and lack of skilled labor. The results indicate what we should improve on the lightweight wall from now on.

Recently freeform buildings which are free from simple shape are implemented depending on improvement of construction method. However, freeform buildings are spent more time and cost to materialize than typical form. Because molds for production of freeform shape cannot be reused. For these reasons, low productivity, delay of construction schedule and budget overflow are occurred. Thus, technology of molds need to be developed for manufacturing of freeform concrete segments. The objective of this study is manufacturing of freeform concrete segments using rod type mold. This technology can implement not only application to various shape but also mass production. Thus, problems of construction period, productivity and cost can be solved. After this study, productivity analysis should be continued through the field application.

Korean government is trying to adopt 'CM at Risk(CMR)' method to solve some problems of traditional project delivery method such as cost increase, delay, low quality. Pre-construction service(PCS) is a project management methodology of CMR and BIM is the best tool for efficient PCS execution. PCS is consisted of several main items such as Target costing, Cost trending, GMP, Design optimization, Constructability review and Productivity. The purpose of this research is to analyse contractor's PCS application case result and to find improvement items.

Construction designs are often produced with insufficient considerations on the constructability aspects. Poor constructability has resulted in delay, cost increase, disputes, safety hazards and inconvenience to the public. Increasingly, there has been a call for more systematic input of construction knowledge in the planning and design processes of modern day's infrastructure development. In some countries, notably the US, the practice of constructability reviews is on the rise, with concomitant benefits. It is advocated that construction plans and designs be subject to constructability reviews as early as possible. It should be made part of the project management strategy driven by the client. This paper outlines the constructability review process and benefits, whilst drawing lessons from a number of case studies.

Delay, cost overrun and inferior quality in public works are common in Nepal and Cambodia. Almost 90 percent of the civil construction engineers working in the industry were one-degree graduates without appropriate training. The civil engineering education had provided elemental engineering knowledge to the graduates however integrated engineering and management knowledge and skill are essential for efficient infrastructure development. ODA in developing countries had been concentrated in hard infrastructure development without improving the quality of higher education. Integrating ODA to engineering education system would help develop qualified technical manpower and appropriate technology domestically, and improve the efficiency in infrastructure development in developing countries.

Precast concrete finishing panels can be implemented in different colors, textures and designs relatively freely by different designers in different finishing materials. Therefore, we tried to develop a PC finishing panel that can be applied in the field by using various color pigment and concrete surface retardation method and polishing method.

This paper attempted to examine the characteristics of heat of hydration and calorific value of concrete according to the formwork material in Hot weather environment. As a result of the experiment, it was found that there were no problems such as temperature cracking and delay in hydration reaction when a synthetic resin form was used.
