  • 이 연구에서는 고속도로 신설 공사 건설 현장 근로자들의 소음 노출을 저감할 수 있는 방법들을 제시하며 특히 현장에서 적용할 수 있는 새로운 체계적인 방법인 "소음 주의 구역"을 제안한다. 고속도로 건설 현장에서 소음원이 되는 장비, 기계, 도구와 근로자들의 소음 노출 특성을 알아 보았으며, 개인청력 보호구, 공학적제어수단 (engineering controls), 관리적제어수단 (administrative controls)을 어떻게 적용할 것인가를 제시하였다. 개인청력 보호구만으로는 소음 노출을 효율적으로 저감시킬 수 없음을 보였으며, 공학적제어수단은 기술적 및 경제적 문제로, 관리적제어수단은 공사 기간 단축과 같은 실제적인 이유로 해서 시행 되기가 어렵다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 실제적으로 적용할 수 있는 체계적인 방법으로서 "소음주의구역 (Noise Perimeter Zones)"을 새롭게 제안하였다. 이 "소음주의구역"은 높은 수준의 소음원이 존재하는 고속도로 건설 공사 현장에 지정된다. 이 구역안에서는 근로자들의 출입이 통제되며 또한 개인청력 보호구, 공학적제어수단, 관리적제어수단과 같은 적절한 제어수단이 사용되어야 한다.

  • This study analyzed the safety management efficiency through input-oriented BCC Model using DEA by making of Models, in which this study selected the number of staff affiliated with the construction site, number of staff members on the construction team, and number of safety personnel as Input Factor, along with the number of disaster victims and zero-accident accomplished hours as output elements, targeting 40-or-so apartment building construction sites which are being built by 3 domestic construction companies. As a result of efficiency, it was 0.643, the number of efficient DMU was 4. In the aspect of returns to scale, 21 construction sites(52.5%) found to be in a state of increasing returns while 14 construction sites(35%) was in a state of Decreasing returns. The reason for inefficiency was found to lie in technical factors in case of 30 construction sites(75%). Lastly, inefficient DMU is in need of 38.9 % and 66% reduction in site personnel and safety personnel. Based on study results, the 29 construction sites accounting for 72.5% of DMU for safety management efficiency evaluation object turned out to do inefficient safety management that doesn't fit the size of each company.

  • In industrial site, as the technology of FA developes, many robots can take the place of human labor. Generally, robots require high precision reducers which have cycloid or involute tooth profile. These reducers provide high reduction ratios with low backlash and high accuracy but need a high stiffness of tooth. In this study, to improve the high precision, the cycloid reducers which have straight line teeth profile are used. Also the FEM analysis, which consist of straight line teeth profile, was performed to simulate the stress of teeth profile.

  • Existing Deck Plate for a one of system forms, there is various advantage and application actual results increasing rapidly. But design of deck is depending on engineering data collections or design data on deck manufacture ordinarily. When construct, is responsible for deflection occurrence, And Because confirmation of crack occurrence region is impossible, there is difficulty of repair, reinforcement about crack and water leakage. According to got following conclusion as result that economic performance, preservation administration and repair reinforcement develops easy using steel truss snap tie by wedge pin on coating plywood that is slab Panel Wood System Form method of construction there is Deck Plate's advantage. (1) In stab lower part is exposed disjointing in which a criminal is fastened to be interrogated after construction acceptance and repair, reinforcement of crack is possible (2) Construction cost curtailment effect of about 29.2% than conventional type and about 10% than deck plate (3) Construction period reduction of about 3 day than conventional type and about 0.3 day than deck plate (4) Labor curtailment effect more than about $29{\sim}50%$ from conventional type

  • This paper presents a computational study that explores the design of rigid steel frames by considering construction related costs. More specifically, two different aspects are investigated in this study focusing on the effects of (a) reducing the number of labor intensive rigid connections within a frame of given geometric layout, and (b) reducing the number of different member section types used in the frame. A genetic algorithm based optimization framework searches design space for these objectives. Unlike some studies that express connection cost as a factor of the entire frame weight, here connections and their associated cost factors are explicitly represented at the member level to evaluate the cost of connections associated with each beam. In addition, because variety in member section types can drive up construction related costs, its effects are evaluated implicitly by generating curves that show the trade off between cost and different numbers of section types used within the frame. Our results show that designs in which all connections are considered to be rigid can be excessively conservative: rigid connections can often be eliminated without any appreciable increase in frame weight, resulting in a reduction in overall cost. Eliminating additional rigid connections leads to further reductions in cost, even as frame weight increases, up to a certain point. These complex relationships between overall cost, rigid connections, and member section types are presented for a representative five-story steel frame.

  • It has already been four years as of 2013 since the Departmentalized Classroom System was first introduced following the Korean government's policy. However, no investigation had been made yet on whether the system is properly being managed in practice according to the presented standards, guidelines, and policy direction. Hence, an in-depth investigation and analysis were called for. In line with this, documents were researched, deliberation meetings of experts were held, and the system pilot was tested to develop indices to investigate the state of block-scheduled classes and classes for each student's academic level for the educational classes field. For the school management field, we developed indices to investigate the teachers' organization and their division of labor, administrative officers and work reduction, improvement of teachers' expertise, and the guidance of the students' school life. Based on the indices, we investigated the state of 24 schools, which manage an advanced school system, nationwide. The results showed that the Departmentalized Classroom System has now reached the settling stage, which is beyond the introductory stage, and that it needs to be systematically supplemented for it to be settled in a stable manner.
