Recent historical unit price is presented by the Korea Institute of Construction Technology (KICT) and it is analyzed by data from large-scale projects. Therefore it has problem applying to small-scale projects. To indicate the problem, the study compared historical unit price of large-case project and small-case project in the case of civil engineering work, building construction, and mechanical facility work. As a result, average historical unit price of small-scale project was 26.6% higher than large-scale project. On the other hand, difference on the labor cost was 18.4%, difference on material cost and overheads were 8.18%. Moreover, the study proposed compensation method to correct to apply recent historical unit price to small-scale project.

The stability prediction of shallow buried tunnels is one of the most difficult tasks in civil engineering. The aim of this work is to predict the state of collapse in shallow tunnel in layered soils by employing non-associated flow rule and nonlinear failure criterion within the framework of upper bound theorem. Particular emphasis is first given to consider the effects of dilation on the collapse mechanism of shallow tunnel. Furthermore, the seepage forces and surface settlement are considered to analyze the influence of different dilation coefficients on the collapse shape. Two different curve functions which describe two different soil layers are obtained by virtual work equations under the variational principle. The distinct characteristics of falling blocks up and down the water level are discussed in the present work. According to the numerical results, the potential collapse range decreases with the increase of the dilation coefficient. In layered soils, both of the single layer's dilation coefficient and two layers' dilation coefficients increase, the range of the potential collapse block reduces.

In this work, a new analytical approach using a theory of a high order hyperbolic shear deformation theory (HSDT) has been developed to study the free vibration of plates of functionally graduated material (FGM). This theory takes into account the effect of stretching the thickness. In contrast to other conventional shear deformation theories, the present work includes a new displacement field that introduces indeterminate integral variables. During the manufacturing process of these plates defects can appear as porosity. The latter can question and modify the global behavior of such plates. The materials constituting the plate are assumed to be gradually variable in the direction of height according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The motion equations are derived by the Hamilton principle. Analytical solutions for free vibration analysis are obtained for simply supported plates. The effects of stretching, the porosity parameter, the power law index and the length / thickness ratio on the fundamental frequencies of the FGM plates are studied in detail.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to derive improvements through user satisfaction analysis for the smart traffic safety system being applied to improve traffic safety. Method: A survey-based IPA analysis was used to derive system and service improvements for groups of drivers and pedestrians. Result: As a result of the analysis, both drivers and pedestrian groups showed that Quadrant 1(Keep up the Good Work) was 'Perception of risk information', and Quadrant 3(Low Priority) was 'Reliability of warning information'. On the other hand, 'AI display suitability', which was analyzed as Quadrant 1(Keep up the Good Work) in the driver group, was found to be Quadrant 3(Low priority) in the pedestrian group. Conclusion: Satisfaction factors for smart pedestrian safety systems may vary depending on users, and it is judged that user-centered system construction and service provision are necessary.

Project Informations Classification System (PICS) can be utilized as a springboard for advanced construction management techniques because it marries informations to networks and maintains a disciplined cost control. The present study attempts to develop a PICS which can be applied in construction management techniques. The frame work largely consists of the three parts such as: (i) development of the tentative Work Breakdown Structure with three divisions, facility calssifications, functional classifications and work classifications, covering the whole areas of civil works, (ii) development of the integrated informations system including the other informations in cost estimating and network scheduling, (iii) construction of relational database system for computer application. The system suggested in the study is found useful for the systematic and uniform management of construction works in the various stages.

Extensive research work has been performed on shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams retrofitted with externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) in form of strips. However, most of this research work is experimental and very scarce studies are available on numerical modelling of such beams due to truly challenging nature of modelling concrete shear cracking and interfacial interaction between components of such beams. This paper presents an appropriate model for RC beam and to simulate its cracking without numerical computational difficulties, convergence and solution degradation problems. Modelling of steel and CFRP and their interfacial interaction with concrete are discussed. Finally, commercially available non-linear finite element software ABAQUS is used to validate the developed finite element model with key tests performed on full scale T-beams with and without CFRP retrofitting, taken from previous extensive research work. The modelling parameters for bonding behavior of CFRP with special anchors are also proposed. The results presented in this research work illustrate that appropriate modelling of bond behavior of all the three types of interfaces is important in order to correctly simulate the shear behavior of RC beams strengthened with CFRP.
