This paper presents various attempts to secure the floor impact sound insulation performance on the dry floor system of steel framed modular house that lately attracted domestic attention. Test results show that in the condition of using dry floor system of D31(D32), the light-weight impact noise performance records the top level in the floor impact sound insulation performance grading system. the heavy-weight floor impact noise performance meets the minimum sound level limit in the floor impact sound insulation performance grading system that enacted regulation on housing construction standards.

Modular building is a prefabricated construction system for building where factory-produced pre-engineered modular units are delivered to site and assembled as substantial elements of a building. There are two basic kinds of modular structures. One is a load-bearing wall structure designed to transfer the load through longitudinal walls. The other is a frame structure composed of columns and beams. For frame structure, square hollow section is often used as a column member and channel as a beam member in modular unit. Lower and upper modules are fasten with bolts via a pre-installed access hole in the SHS column. However, the access holes can weaken the panel zone that would affect the behavior of beam to column connection. The 5 specimens of beam to column connections with parameters of access hole, column thickness and diaphragm were made and this paper describes the test results.

Recently, in field of bridge construction, modular technology has been studied to reduce construction period, traffic impact and environmental impact. This study is a part of research related to the modular bridges. The aim of the study is to analyze the structural behavior and evaluate a serviceability for transverse connection of modular slab bridge. A total of four specimens were fabricated. including a control beam for finding the maximum load by static test. And one control beam and two segmental beams were fabricated for cyclic loading test. As the test result, the beams that were introduced 100% of the design prestressing force showed a smaller maximum deflection, residual deflection and crack width than the control beam. The beam for serviceability evaluation was satisfied with structural serviceability limits of the deflection and crack.

In the unit modular construction, the unit module prefabricated in a factory with a high level of accuracy does not fit completely onto the ground-joint junction due to the low accuracy of the ground work. This difference in the level of accuracy can cause diverse problems, such as twisting the upper unit modules and loosening the connection between the module and the footing. On this background, the aim of this study is to develop a technique for adjusting the height of the prefabricated individual footing. To accomplish the aim, a height adjustment method using bolts and nuts is proposed, and a shop drawing and the construction sequence are also presented in this study. The structural safety is verified through a structure simulation. In the future, research will be conducted on a mock-up test of the height adjustment method developed in this study, and an analysis of economic feasibility will be performed in order to verify its constructability and usability.

Recent study about near-surface is proposed to overcome non-economic of underground railway and to reduce people's complaints of ground elevated railway. In this report, precast modular structure system replacing temporary facilities is applied to ensure the construction ability and economic feasibility. To verify the performance of connection joint between permanent structural wall and upper slab, loading test is carried out. As a result of the test, wall replacing temporary structure to slab connection is possible to transfer bending moment. By 30% increase of bending resistant performance for connection joint using coupler, coupler connection joint is more advantageous to resist bending moment compared to channel connection.

A composite bridge deck system assembled from a modular profile with double-rectangular cell has been developed for highway bridges. This study is focused on the experimental characterization of flexure performance of pultruded GFRP deck under static loading. Several tests were conducted on single modules and adhesively bonded 2 and 5-modules. The specimen details such as dimensions, material properties and fiber architecture, and experimental set-up and testing procedure have been addressed. It is found that the presented GFRP composite modular deck is very efficient for use in bridges.

Since 1990s, we have achieved a certain level of success in standardization of design, construction, and material on housing and public buildings with the national-level promotion. A practical connecting device that can synthesize all the serial processes is required to maximize the effect of construction material standardization. However, desired outcome of the standardization is not achieved yet because these serial standards and notification practices are decided by each part of the process and some are congested. In this study, we aim to improve a general organizational system of Korean Industrial Standard (KS) which is the most fundamental tool for the standardization of construction materials moving from a conventional idea that the standard is only for the material and components producers to a concept that can also be shared by the designers and construction workers. To achieve this, we propose an improvement plan for the Korean Industrial Standard in the perspective of three-tier classification system.

Many attention have been paid to the innovative technologies aiming at the paradigm shift such as the modular housing, pre-fabrication method, or long-life housing. Despite the government's efforts to diffuse the long-life housing, few case gained the high grades by applying various technologies required in the Long-life Housing Certification System. The concerns of cost increase and low profit are the main reason why most of the construction firms avoid the adoption of long-life housing. In this study, the variations of construction costs were analyzed according to the grades in the Long-life Housing Certification System. The results of this study will help the decision makers find the optimal solution in employing the long-life housing technologies during planning.

This study consists of an analysis of pre-existing ceiling construction systems as well as the development of a replacement unitary, lightweight steel ceiling system and related legal standards. Based on the material conditions and progression of the study, appropriate components were chosen and details were modified by mock-up test. A final study model was evaluated for performance and adaptability based on four parameters (indoor environment, constructability, budget economy, and aesthetics) and compared to the pre-existing ceiling system. As a result of the initial study, a lightweight steel design was created consisting of a reinforced structure with modular bars and entry holes for components. This system was hung directly on the suspension structure. The new design increased lighting and acoustic performance adapted to an indoor environment. Moreover, the speed of construction was increased by approximately 30%, the cost was decreased by approximately 20%, and ceiling aesthetics were improved.
