  • The domestic construction market started to expand steadily since 1970s. The building market which utilizes a sandwich panel with advantages of economical construction expenses and convenient construction has grown rapidly in recent years. However, the companies which specialize in constructing sandwich panels are relatively small or medium size, compared with other construction companies. As a result, studies on the improvement of productivity have not been conducted sufficiently. In this study, the construction sites of sandwich panel are investigated, and the work processes by each team are analyzed. Additionally, the productivity and the construction cost of each construction team are analyzed by constructing a model using the Web-Cyclone. It is expected that the results of this study can be applied to estimate the productivity and the construction cost of a sandwich panel construction that is appropriate for the on-site characteristics of small and medium sized construction companies in Korea. Also, similar processes can be simulated based on the modeling constructed in this study.

  • The noise generated by construction machinery operating at construction sites is a major cause of environmental disputes with nearby residents. To reduce construction site noise, low noise construction machinery and low noise methods are recommended to be used first. In addition, the possible noise should be predicted and preventive measures suitable for the noise source should be taken. This study analyzed the sound power level of an excavator, which is used most frequently at construction sites. The sound power level of 297 excavators sold in Korea after 2008 were analyzed and the sound power level was classified according to the type, output (kW), and production site of the excavator engine based on the measured data. As a result, the sound power level decreased by 1 dBA depending on the change in engine type and the sound power level increased by approximately 3 dB (A) when the engine output was doubled. In addition, the sound power level was low in small-sized products of less than 55 kW for overseas products and medium and small-sized products of 55 to 104 kW for domestic products.

  • A pipe jacking method complements the excavation method and it is a non-excavation method which is thrust in the earth. On that score, using the pipe jacking method is increased because of constructability and economical efficiency in a medium or small-sized pipeline construction. However, a pipe jacking method still has several problems that the base ground is disturbed and loosen. Especially, where some sites have boulders, gravels and foreign bodies, the foundation is brought about deformation, settlement and leakage of water. Thus, the end of the construction the ground should be reinforced by grouting and it occur with additional expenses. Therefore, a steel pipe jacking method with grouting, Grout In Pipe, is devised newly to complement the existing method. In this study, it describes a new method and verifies efficiency, an application and practicality of the method through a experimental construction.

  • Delays in horizontal well drilling when encountering heterogeneous sediments can have negative effects on the construction process at a riverbank filtration site. Grain size analysis, including calculation of the coefficient of uniformity and the coefficient of curvature, was conducted on soil samples collected at each drilling depth during the process of drilling horizontal wells. These results were then used to develop a linear equation for estimating drilling velocity using the coefficient of uniformity and the coefficient of curvature as inputs. Testing of the linear equation in other horizontal wells indicates that the equation is most appropriate for coarse-sand-sized and well-sorted sediment. Because this study was conducted in a region with small- to medium-sized streams, more data are needed from larger rivers to modify the general equation. Our results will provide better estimates of drilling velocity, in turn enabling more detailed design and more effective construction management at riverbank filtration sites.

  • When starting a new project, generally similar existing projet are searched. As Building Modeling Information(BIM) has short history and experience, the dependence on similar project is high. Small and medium sized design companies are depending on website search tool for information of BIM project besides companies maintaining the Database(DB) from lots of project experience. However, the information level and contents provided by websites differ drastically from each other which makes it difficult to utilize the information and apply cases. Furthermore, the different classification system of the sites makes the situation even worse. Therefore, we collected and analyzed over 100 BIM cases from 18 global websites, to develop a system for BIM case application. Result showed that over 90% of our subject pool provided basic information including the construction type, characteristics of the client (public/ private), location of the project, and detailed information such as primary usage. Moreover, the reasons for applying BIM where to solve problems of geometric design, building system like MEP and construction. Furthermore, there was a contrast between cases conducted only within Korea and cases conducted with other countries. While there was almost always helpful information regarding the administrative steps for Korean BIM cases, there was close to no information for projects carried out outside of Korea. These results could contribute to verifying the trend of information provision of the websites for BIM projects data, and this is believed to be helpful for developing an application system for BIM cases which have an organized information provision system and level as well as for bench marking.

  • A large-sized exciter that vibrates a two-ton component is required to simulate the field operating conditions of a counterweight of an excavator. However, it is difficult for a small-medium sized company to obtain a large exciter for the life test of a counterweight which is an equivalent counterbalancing weight that balances a load. Therefore, in this study, we developed life test equipment for evaluating the reliability of construction machinery weighing about two tons. It simulates the field operating conditions using rotational vibrators consisting of electric motors. A failure analysis of the counterweight was also performed for the major components. Field data acquired from various sites were applied to the life test design of the counterweight. Finally, a zero-failure qualification test based on the accelerated life test was designed, and there was no failure during the test, which guarantees a life of $B_5$ 10,000 hours.
