The calculation of the correct construction value in the construction should be investigated after the quantity is calculated. In order to calculate the quantity requires a lot of cost and time, and the initial accurate quantity calculation is not possible. Therefore, in the planning step in order to successfully complete the project to demonstrate the practicality of the difference between the construction cost by the construction design by presenting a method for calculate the quantity through the estimate with the construction open, floor plan, surface view, section.

Estimation of rebar quantity may be used as an index to evaluate the economic feasibility of structural designs. However, when using the software to estimate the rebar quantity, there may be some limitations such as data loss caused by human errors and estimation delays caused by increased input time, since the information on arrangement of rebar is inserted manually. To solve the problems of such quantity estimation software, it is necessary to develop a method on automatic input/output of structural design information for quantity estimation and an algorithm for accurate estimation of rebar quantity. The purpose of this study is to improve the existing rebar quantity estimation by connecting with the database on information related to rebar estimation and the algorithm for rebar estimation, in order to develop an algorithm to estimate an accurate, net rebar quantity. The study result can be used as basic data for development of software for efficient structural designs and automatic framework estimation of buildings.

The focus of this study is on the accuracy in quantity estimates made by BIM for materials needed during construction. BIM-Revit Architecture 2014 is utilized to establish the information for an actual case to conduct estimates for the amount of reinforced concrete and formwork needed. The actual case is with a total construction area of 5,438 square meters and a total floor area of 31,623 square meters. The building commenced in December 2012 and the major structure has been completed in 2014. It is a RC structure with 4 stories underground, 12 stories above and 3 roof floors. The result shows that both of the quantity estimates of reinforced concrete and formwork are higher than that of actual use in the case. The estimate of reinforced concrete is higher than that of actual use by 2.18%, while the estimate of formwork is higher than that of the actual use by 13.04%. The results indicate that the estimate of reinforced concrete made by BIM has high accuracy, but the accuracy of the formwork estimate still needs improvement.

The precise quantity of materials is not yet taken off by the CAD system although it has Influenced in design productivity and automatic estimate. And various estimate systems developed so far deal with the quantity take-off of building members separately, which caused to over-estimate the part of each member. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop algorithms of more precise estimate than that of current estimate by solving boundary conditions of the connection parts of building members, such as column, girder, beam, wall and slab. The algorithms are proposed to take off the quantity of concrete and form work and they will be used for the estimate of building structure more precisely and automatically than ever.

The main aim of this paper is to estimate the change in the quantity demanded of public water when the economic factors such as income and water price are changed. The privious methods to estimate the quantity of public water demanded has been usually based on the LPCD(liter per capita per day). Implicitly, this method regards the price of water as given. If the water price and income elasticities of water demand are estimated using the time-series and pooled data analysis. In the second step, the quantity demanded of public water are forecasted using the estimated elasticities. The results show that we can reduce the quantity demanded of residential water considerably when the water price is changed.

Reinforced Concrete is the most dominant structure type for buildings in South Korea. Reinforced Concrete is one of materials having the most cost and quantity at construction projects. It is important to manage concrete quantity so that the total project cost is not affected due to underestimate or overestimate of its quantity. Generally the concrete quantity is taken-off based on the volume of the space inside forms without subtracting volumes of rebar embedded, which cannot be considered to make quite accurate results. Resource waste and extra cost due to over or under estimate of quantity occur since they cannot estimate accurate quantity at practices. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of the volume for rebars embedded in reinforced concrete members. By comparing the quantity based on the existing method with the one from BIM data, it was found that about 1~2% of quantity discrepancy was observed while the typical concrete waste rate is 1 % at the current practice.

It is important to estimate the optimal construction cost at the early stage of the project. In this regard, conceptual cost estimate is an important factor for estimate optimal construction cost. However, domestic conceptual cost estimate are only used as cost per unit area according to the building type, and it's accuracy is not high. Hence, the purpose of this study is to calculate the approximate quantity and cost for reinforcing bars, concrete, and formwork by presenting a regression formula based on the total floor area of the common work items in the frame work. In order to verify the accuracy and validity of the regression formula presented in this study, a comparative analysis was performed by applying the regression formula and the traditional approximate quantity take-off method to real cases. As a result, the estimated error rate of the traditional method was -102~+55%, and exceeded the estimated conceptual cost estimate accuracy range of -50~+100% suggested by AACE(American Association of Cost Engineering). On the other hand, the error rate of the regression formula method presented in this study was -6.4~+11.62%. This can be used not only for conceptual cost estimate range of accuracy, but also for detailed estimates. However, it is necessary to analyze the factors that affect the unit price as well as quantity in order to calculate the appropriate cost.

Process management of reinforced concrete construction that many labor quantity and cost is put at a construction site is very important and gives a lot of influence on the subsequent process. Thus, there will be only used as a useful tool for process control by medical facilities and trend analysis of the flow of the process by the amount of labor input and productivity in reinforced concrete construction. productivity by type and quantity, and comparative analysis. In addition, it is necessary to calculate the standard of estimate and real commitment to labor productivity by type and quantity, and comparative analysis.

BIM technology, which is widely used in the construction industry, has been introduced in various fields for the purpose of saving construction cost and reducing construction schedule. However, in the case of BIM-based cost estimate, there are various trials and errors in applying BIM technology which can be applied for calculating quantity and cost estimate. BIM-based cost estimate can improve the quantity accuracy and allow to easy modifications that were not expected in 2D-based construction process. However, for this purpose, it is necessary to take into consideration that interoperability between BIM data and cost information should be planed in advance. Besides, the definition of a BIM data specification is also required for the seamless data exchange and integrity in each phase of the construction process. Therefore, in this study, we propose a BIM - based cost estimation method and technology in each type of work applicable to the current domestic construction industry.

In this paper, we present a schematic method estimating the tracking vibration quantity occurring in the track-following system of an optical recording device. A tracking loop gain adjustment algorithm is introduced to estimate accurately the tracking vibration quantity in spite of the uncertainties of the tracking actuator, Accordingly, the tracking vibration quantity can be estimated from the tracking error, the controller output, the nominal actuator model, and a compensated gain. An optimal tracking controller can be designed from a minimum tracking open-loop gain calculated by the estimated tracking vibration quantity The proposed vibration quantity estimation and controller design method are applied to the track-following system of an optical recording device and are evaluated through the experimental result.
