In this paper structural analysis of underground electrical power cable structures which is excavated below the surface of the earth in the downtown area is carried out considering the effect of construction sequence. There are many various life-line facilities below the surface of the earth in the downtown area. MPDAP was used for finite element analysis of underground electrical power cable structures. Three typical sections are simulated by finite element models. Unbalanced equilibrium problems may be occurred when conventional finite element procedures were used for simulation of tunnel excavation. Therefore equilibrium perturbation concept was applied to solve these problems. The effects of time-dependent deformations in advancing tunnel excavation are considered in the stages of construction sequences as using the load distribution factor. It is shown that values of maximum displacement of both soil and rock surrounding underground electrical power cable structures obtained by our numerical studies are less than allowable values.

Construction of buildings downtown is increasing as much as ever with a strong demand. A Top-Down Method is suitable for its advantage in minimizing its disturbance to the neighborhood. In general, the Pre-founded Column, one of the most important aspects of the Top-Down Method, has been made with an H-Shape Steel Column. However, due to its structural and economical benefits, the usage of CFT(Concrete Filled Tube) columns in the place of Pre-founded Columns is increasing. To promote their applications, we analyze the merits of CFT columns by comparing them with I-Shape columns and propose further research.

Downtown traffic culture of the car focus of our country have developed. But, it was been interested in railroad to saturation of situation, environmental problem. Also, it is getting interest which is international by departure point of network connecting from Europe to Northeast Asia. Private capital project of railroad is activated but Construction companies payability is real that is worsen day by day. Therefore, Construction companies is destroying element enterprise's inefficiency and the waste, be interested in Project Management Information System as part of information. I wish to approach in efficiency of railway construction by presenting professional construction company's Project Management Information System.

As a result of an increase in population of the Metropolitan area and a steady change of circumstances in many parts, the city is sprawling out into the suburbs. This phenomenon causes the necessity of modification of present urban plan. It is risen as a point of issue that construction systems of new railway routes and underground construction, which should be followed the new urban plan in case of inter-regional railway and regional railway. It is hard to find sufficient financial resources, nevertheless the railway improvement definitely affects regional development and improvement of social environment. Also, there is a limit to government subsidies. In this respect, it is necessary to set up a new idea about movement of existing railway routes and improvement of the equipment. This study examines the present problems of railroad construction system in urban downtown area and introduces a suitable institutional way through referring to the instances of other countries.

In recent downtown high land due to an increase in the utilization of land from the property line to maximize the proximity of the construction and use of underground structures has increased. The nature of urban underground retaining structure construction safety, environmental management, and civil contrast situations, construction periodt perspective, this method is widely used in the backhand. Recent Patents DP method and the method of the DBS method than in the SPS process is deleted according to the PRD process cost savings are generated. The workability and safety study of two kinds of method, such as air speed, and considering the reduction of indirect costs in terms of economic efficiency is considered to be a superior method.

Recently, sewer-pipe constructions replacing deteriorated pipes are currently underway in the downtown area. To resolve many problems in the conventional method of open-cut construction, lining-board system using light-weight GFRP panels is developed. The pultruded GFRP panels can be successfully used for the developed lining-board system as temporary decks and retaining walls in virtue of light weight, high strength and high durability. In this paper, the structural safety and serviceability of the lining-board system are examined through FE analyses and experiments. Further more, a field application of the lining-board system is presented. The field application shows that quality and environment of construction can be significantly improved.

If we build new building after demolition of commercial building that is located in the downtown, it will be caused a social and environmental problem as wasting of resources and generating of waste. In this study, I investigated about remodel ins, this conclusion is given below. 1. Reconstruction cost is 2.1 times, and construction period is 1.4 times as much remodeling. So remodeling has an advantage. 2. For repairing and reinforcing timeworn building, we reinforced it as using carbon fiber sheet (girder, slab) and injecting method steel plate bonding Also, we tried to maintain efficiency of new building as using epoxy to protect concrete crack. 3. In the side of waste products and cost, remodeling has much more advantage than reconstruct. But demolition used construction period much. Because it had to be reused as repairing and reinforcing. And there was no difference between remodeling cost and reconstruct cost. If we develop research with enterprise.university.laboratory to exploit material and equipment and to train specialized engineer who will has a capacity to know construct repair and reinforce, it can be attribute to prevail remodeling in new construct market.

In downtown, construction noise related claims are the most important issues. Sometimes noise related claims halt the construction process. Therefore, Introduction of noise reduction measures is common to construction process with a loud noise. This case is about concrete pouring for mat foundation of super tall building. Concrete pouring process using High Pressure Pumping machine causes high noise level in the vicinity of area. And large number of transit-mixer truck cause traffic congestion. This paper introduces effort and process to prevention of construction noise claims on massive scale concrete pouring.

In recent years the downtown, Top-down method has been applied in a major method to solve the complaints due to noise, vibration, dust and safety issues such as cracking due to settlement when the excavation close to the building. Until it is installed underground permanent foundation, the Pre-founded Column is a pile foundation as well as a column to bear the upper construction load. The Pre-founded Column is constructed by PRD method generally. The EnP(Enlarging Pile) method can be expanded locally boring diameter of the embedment zone as compared to the PRD method existing general. Since the bearing capacity is increased by the boring diameter is expanded, the embedment length is reduced, the construction cost is reduced.

As the land price in the downtown area increases, buildings are becoming bigger, deeper and higher. Consequently, the importance of underground construction has increased. Although construction engineers make every effort to complete underground construction without any problem, construction failures like landslides and the collapse of a retaining wall occur because of the uncertainty of the soil conditions as well as the unexpected risks of excavation work. In order to prevent potential excavation accidents, it is essential to understand the causes and impacts of such accidents. However, there are only a few examples of construction failures, which show the economic impact on accidents during excavation because of the sensibility of the information. This paper presents two cases of excavation accidents, which were investigated by construction insurance company. The compensation for the accidents paid by the insurance company was compared with the estimated costs calculated based on the estimation method for excavation accidents proposed by our previous study. The comparison results showed that the estimate calculated by our method was much less than the actual compensation because the estimate solely focused on the construction costs whereas the compensation included other external factors.
