Cases of lawsuit and conflict are increasing because of defects in apartments in use after the completion of construction. Further, with changes in the consciousness of residents and in the social environment, many residents are showing interest in defect-related lawsuits. However, the term of warranty liability defined in the current law is not practically appropriate, and the verification of the determination of the term of warranty liability is insufficient. Against this background, this research aims to evaluate the appropriateness of defect repair periods by examining the actual defect condition of the finishing work among the various defects related to apartments. Collected performance data are analyzed by statistical techniques by considering the defect occurrence rate per construction type and the construction year of the finishing work in apartment construction. The analysis results will be used as basic data for evaluating the appropriateness of the standards for the term finishing works warranty liability.

The Apartment Defect Dispute Mediation Committee of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport received as many as 7,686 complaints regarding defects in 2021, and the conflict caused by these disputes on the defects is worsening. A quality inspection team system was established in January 2021 to address the deepening conflict, and this system prevented the emergence of defects in apartment houses before the residents moved in. Quality inspections were conducted based on the Housing Act standards, but the reality is that the standards for the ordinances are not systematic. Based on the analysis of the ordinances by the apartment quality inspection team, 23 out of 226 local governments utilized the quality inspection teams, and they had different standards for the quality inspection subjects and inspection periods. In addition, the inspection standards for the defect checklists used by the apartment quality inspection teams operated by local governments varied. A survey was conducted by apartment quality experts to tackle this problem and proposed improvement plans for the defect checklists used for the quality inspection of apartment houses.

Strarting with Buyeong Apartment in Dongtan-2 disrict in 2017, collective complaints of residents are frequently occurring due to low quality problem such as improper construction and defects of apartment houses. Because of this, the Ministry of Land and Transport is preparing a comprehensive improvement scheme to improve the quality of Apartment Housing(AH), taking into account the continuing complaints from the residents of AH and the problem raised by the National Assembly. The basic profile of the improvement scheme is induce the tenants and experts to discover and point out defects that are repaired until the date of use inspection or due date. For this purpose, we suggested this defects management system linkaged by the preliminary inspection and quality inspection system for prospective occupants. In this context, this paper aims to suggest an effective likage method between the preliminary inspection of prospective residents and the quality inspection system implemented by local governments as an ordinance.

According to the dispute cases filed for claiming the collective defect repair fees, inter-layer concrete joints turned out to be the most frequently disputed item. For this reason, this study selects the inter-layer concrete joints to further analyze the primary causes and details of each dispute case. From the results of this study, three primary causes of the disputes are found, which are 1) the absence of standard specifications for construction quality control and management after construction; 2) the absence of established standards for repair when construction defects are found. In order to prevent construction defects in inter-layer concrete joints, this study provides three suggestions including 1) the current standard specifications for inter-layer concrete joints should be further specified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport; 2) a construction defect should be judged according to the compliance to the standard specifications; and 3) a clear and institutional protocol needs to be established for defect repair in cases that new public apartment houses have been judged to have defects.

The concrete structures are hardly ever built under ideal conditions. So many defects may occur for a various reasons such as unsuitable and defective materials, construction methods, poor workmanship, particular structural form and prevailing weather conditions. Some structural form can greatly increase the risk of occurrence of defects. Therefore we investigated the actual condition of the deterioration factors for reinforced concrete apartment, which was composed of 85 apartments with various building ages in different regions with five evaluation the deterioration factors of apartment building to establish the overall evaluation system of deterioration degree for reinforced concrete apartment in Korea.

Recently a great deal of people are taking legal action against the housing provider due to the defects of their Apartment house. And most of the housing companies are spending a huge amount of expenses and efforts to keep their brand value. This essay will carry out time series analysis the 20 housing district which are constructed by huge construction companies. This analysis itemised by metropolitan area(Seoul) and others to keep the degree of reliability, and converted future defect maintenance cost into current cost applied by discount rate to figure out suitability of defect maintenance cost. Even though, this essay is not able to represent standard of defect maintenance cost due to the insufficiency of record, while it will be assisted as a referance when long-term record of time series is estabilished.

The purpose of this study is to empirically confirm the effect of the characteristics of construction workers on the occurrence of defects in construction. In this study, the degree of direct construction is measured through the ratio of the direct recruitment and outsourcing manpower of the original contractor, and the effect of this on the occurrence of defects is empirically analyzed using financial data. In addition, it is verified whether the degree of defect occurrence varies depending on the job skill level of the direct hired personnel inputted to the construction. Through this, it will be possible to prepare an argument for revitalizing the direct construction of construction companies and an opportunity to promote it.

The need for maintenance of bridge infrastructure is increasing due to aging, and the cost of maintaining the infrastructure must be calculated for effective budget distribution. Therefore, in this study, representative defects according to bridge superstructure type are derived to calculate the cost for each repair method. First of all, the representative bridges, PSCI girder bridge, Rahmen bridge, Steel box girder bridge, and RC slab bridge, were selected as superstructures using BMS data, and repair methods for defects were presented. In addition, the cost of the repair method by superstructure type was compared. This result is expected to predict total maintenance costs in consideration of the maintenance cycle.

It is important to utilize an efficient quality management platform because the management of deadlines at construction sites requires rapid and accurate processing of numerous defect data in a short time. In this study, 30 domestic patents for defect management and image analysis were analyzed to examine the development status of quality management platforms using mobile devices. As a result of the analysis, research on automatically detecting defects using artificial intelligence has been actively underway in recent years, and advanced IT technologies have been converging in various ways into linked services.

Corrosion of the steel rebar in coastal environment caused huge economical loss of the globe. Therefore, coating on the steel rebar being used to mitigate the corrosion. In the present study, we have applied epoxy coating on arc thermal sprayed Al coating (a dual metal/polymeric coating) vis-à-vis compared with as coated one (Al coating). The corrosion studies were performed in simulated concrete pore solution with 3.5 wt. % NaCl solution. The morphology of the dual epoxy/Al coating is smooth while Al coating shows rankle and defects. Due to defects, Al coating is susceptible to corrosion while dual epoxy/Al coating has performed excellent compared to as coated one at extended period of immersion.
