As robotic technologies have become more actively utilized to automate many construction tasks, they have been able to improve the construction productivity, quality, and worker's safety on site. A new advanced system, Robot-based Construction Automation (RCA) system, is currently being developed. To accomplish RCA system effectively, Design for automation (DFA) should be performed in automation system developing phase. The performance criteria of this system are a major cause of design changes. It is required exhaustive review for development new system. This research analyzed the design changes of Climbing Hydraulic Robot system and Construction Factory (CF), being currently developed in the field of applied RCA systems. And the design change matters according to performance criteria in each system's design-by-step were analyzed. The purpose of this research is developing the performance criteria in the developing phase of RCA system, and then will be served as basis for system design in similar projects.

Many construction companies have been trying to extend their businesses to the development projects after IMF. Project financing was introduced to the construction market and has been popular with construction companies which can not furnish funds for project by themselves. But, there are so many problems that project financing has not been activated in the construction field. One of the main factors that disturb activation of project financing is distrust about construction management among participants. This distrust is caused by the lack of speciality, objectivity, clearness about CM. So, to process business successfully, they need specialty and objectivity for the construction management. In this research, I analyzed the role and duty of the main participants about CM in the development project ana suggested an advanced management structure in order to activate project financing in the development projects.

In recent years, a mm1ber of construction robots have been developed, but few practical examples can be found on construction sites today. Nevertheless, automation and robotics are proposed as apparent solutions to problems in productivity, quality, safety, and skilled-labor availability in future construction industry. Since the early 2000s, there has been growing interest in construction automation and robotics in Korea, and significant progresses have also been made. This paper mainly describes the needs of research and development program to introduce robots on construction sites, and primary outcomes which are developed in domestic construction industry. Essential technologies required for the development of construction robots, future prospects of the technology advances, and several suggestions are also presented in this paper.

Currently, safety accidents in construction area are managed regardless of the size. Therefore, the objective of this study is to conduct for developing the quantitative risk assessment according to large and small and medium-sized construction sites. The scope of this study is limited to the fall accidents which is the biggest accidents in the construction sites. the regression analysis was conducted based on the collected data. As a result, it was confirmed that there was a statistically significant difference between larce and small and medium-sized construction sites. This study is expected to be used as basic data for research on the development of a risk quantitative model for small and medium-sized construction sites in the future.

A nuclear power plant construction is a complex form of construction which comprises various stakeholders and contractors. Therefore, contract disputes will occur due to conflicting interests of contracting parties and unpredictable factors which arise during construction work. Even if the contract is well prepared, it cannot fully prepare for future situations in actuality. Claims management is very important in carrying out construction management. This study intends to define claim, and delve into development of claims management processes from the viewpoint of owners and contractor through consideration on international contract terms on claims management and the details of the claims management of the Construction Extension to the PMBOK. In addition, it is needed to accumulate and manage data on claims that have occurred so that they can be referenced in the future. As information should be accumulated so that type classification can be carried out and that lessons can be learned on claims that have occurred in each business site, study on establishing data-based systems relating to claims processes will be needed in the future.

Recently, many Korean construction companies have tried to modify organization structures in order to increase the performance profit while coping with environmental changes in the construction market. Most Korean construction companies are adapting to environmental changes and devote various struggle for maximizing the result of receiving order. Especially, the organization structure of Marketing Divisions is the important for management performance and is the important key elements to attain the management goals. This research on construction companies organization has never been dealt before in korea. Through this research, the relationship between construction environmental changes and management performance profit is proven and is reflected when making the Marketing Divisions. It suggests the Marketing Divisions structure model by business type and receiving order type. Also, the result of this research could be used the important basic data that is necessary to the organization model development and this model development can be prepared for facing the new environmental changes in the near future.

정보화의 발전은 모든 산업의 시스템화 및 자동화를 이끌어가는 원동력으로 국가 산업에 융복합되어 시너지효과를 발현하고 있다. 이러한 정보화의 일환으로 건축공사의 50~60%차지하는 건설자재의 정보화는 필수불가결한 요소이다. 특히 건설자재의 가격정보는 자재선정을 위한 결정적인 요소임에도 불구하고 현장여건에 맞는 정확한 가격정보를 제공하기에 어려움이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 자재선정 의사결정자가 건설자재의 다양한 정보항목을 검색하고, 활용할 수 있는 건설자재에 대한 정보제공 시스템의 필요성과 온라인을 통해 현장여건에 맞는 가격정보 제공의 필요성이 대두 되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 자재선정 의사결정자들이 온라인 자재정보시스템을 통해 검색한 자재의 현장여건에 맞는 가격정보를 빠르게 획득할 수 있도록 지원하는 견적지원 기능을 제시한다. 이 시스템은 관계데이터베이스를 통해 정보를 저장하고 활용한다. 본 연구는 건설분야 종사자들에게 건설자재선정을 위한 지원 도구로써 활용될 것이며, 이는 최적자재선정을 통한 건축물의 품질을 개선하는데 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

A new trenchless tunneling method using pressurizing support has been developed. As it overcomes shortcomings of conventional methods, it is applied to the field. The main concept of the new method is the pressurization system which, by means of pressurization bag between outer flange of steel ribs and excavated perimeter, applies the pressure corresponding to the magnitude of the relaxed earth pressure caused by excavation to the ground to prevent ground displacement. The stability of the support members and effect of displacement control of the new method were verified through several ways such as numerical tests and various model tests. The new method was applied to the construction of a 10.7 m wide, 7.9 m high and 85 m long road tunnel that passes under Yeongdong Expressway. By applying the new method, the tunnel construction was successfully completed in 13.5 months. It decreases the construction period to 35% compared to that of conventional methods, and ground displacement was almost negligible.

The continuous aging of the domestic construction industry and the shortage of human resource are no longer a problem for the future, but must be solved for the survival of the domestic construction industry, given the characteristics of the labor-intensive construction industry and the continuing negative image of young people toward the construction industry. It is undoubtedly a prerequisite. This study is aimed to tackle the fundamental problem of the construction labor shortage faced by the domestic construction industry by comparing and analyzing the case of MMC technology development in the UK, which has been preparing fast-track response measures for the past 5 years to solve the labor shortage problem, and the case of Buildability technology development in Singapore, which is seeking mid- to long-term countermeasures for about 20 years. Also, This research provides the initial research & development roadmap for Korean Countermeasures Strategy.
