Recently, it is necessary to establish an eco-friendly construction system through recycling of waste material management at construction sites. This is required to reflect the times that require a carbon reduction system in construction as part of domestic and overseas carbon dioxide reduction. Therefore, we intend to establish eco-friendly construction management as part of resource recycling and carbon reduction through recycling technology for waste fibers generated at construction sites.

To prevent energy waste in buildings used heat insulator. Heat insulator materials can be classified inorganic and organic. The organic material is be toxic gas emission, when a fire occurs. And it has lower water resistance. The inorganic material is heavy and worse thermal performance than organic materials. This study focused on thermal conductivity and density of inorganic foam material for using industrial by-products materials.

For the stable management of radioactive waste, it is necessary to secure a solidification treatment technology capable of immobilizing hazardous radioactive elements in a solid matrix. In this study, the feasibility of using recycled cement recovered from waste concrete as a solidifying material for radioactive waste was analyzed.

Unlike conventional building materials, the living building material (LBM) cube is composed of sand, gelatin, and cyanobacteria without cement. The surface of the LBM cube absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere by photosynthesis and is deposited in the form of CaCO3. In addition, the crystals generated in this process strengthened the gelatin-sand structure to enhance the compressive strength.

This study analyzed the fluctuation of the construction material cost from 2001 to 2008 in Busan to examine the effect of the fluctuation of the construction material cost on lotting price of the multi family attached house. The major findings are as follow. First, as the result of the analysis on four materials such as reinforced bar, remicon, PHC piles, Copper Tubes, those take largest portion of construction cost, it was found that the there is wide difference in price fluctuation of the each materials. The reinforced bar and Copper Tubes showed high price increase by an average 14.03% and 14.91% per year while remicon, PHC piles remained almost unmoved by an average 0.86% and 2.41%. Second, According to the result of the analysis on the mutuality between the fluctuation of the construction material cost and the lotting price of the multi-family attached house, it was found that the fluctuation of the construction material cost have the most enormous effect on the sale price of the multi-family attached house, when there is 3 month time lag in reinforced bar, remicon, PHC piles, Copper Tubes, commonly. Also this mutuality continues to 6 month, 9 month and 1 year, although it decrease a little bit.

In this study, the bonding performance of repair materials was evaluated on concrete repair surface to develop concrete repair materials based on UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete) which has high mechanical and durability performance. The ten test variables were applied considering the roughness and wet condition of the concrete surface subject to repair, the addition of polymer, and the use PP and PVA fibers in repair materials. The addition of the polymer caused a significant decrease in strength, which was thought to be due to the effect of the additional super plasticizer used to adjust workability. Also, flow was reduced by up to 13.8 % with the use of plastic-based fibers. As a result of evaluating the bond strength of the repair material considering the condition of the surface subject to repair, it was thought that in the case of using UHPC-based repair material, high bonding performance could be secured without any additional surface treatment as long as the surface of the base material was sound. In addition, UHPC-based repair materials showed high bonding performance even when the attachment surface was wet. In the future, research will be conducted on shot-crete application and gradient pouring for the development of UHPC-based repair materials, and continuous improvement in the repair material mixing property will be carried out to ensure economic efficiency and performance as a concrete structural repair material.

Each corporation isn't consistent because of offering specific information for publicity. It spends considerable labor force and time surfing of the material information and choosing need material. That's the reason it's different with material information and choice system between production and marketing corporation. Among lots of material information, some of them are used by offering material information simplify. So it is demanded necessity of reasonable material choice system. That system helps it choose a material more easily. So we studied about the information retrieval system of reasonable material choice through the study about assortment system of material information and material choice method. It's the basic study for the suggestion of reasonable material choice system. According to this study, if that system is suggested and realized, we can overcome from the system of typical and repeatable at every course of architecture during several times. It will be helpful to increase about the productivity of architecture as the minimization of time, labor, resource and cost for the material choice.

Technologies for reducing construction duration are key factors in nuclear power plant construction projects, as a reduction in construction duration at the construction phase leads to a reduction in construction cost and an increase in profits through the early operation of the nuclear power plant. To analyze the constructability of the height of single-layer placement of formwork for the Reactor Containment Building (RCB) exterior wall through lateral pressure according to the height of concrete placement, the deformation criteria for formwork, and a new form design, 'MIDAS GEN (hereinafter referred to as MIDAS)' is used in this study. The cost and workload of formwork are derived according to the unit of height of the RCB exterior wall. Based on the result, it was found that the higher the RCB exterior wall, the higher the material cost, and the less the construction duration and the less the total number of formwork layers. Based on this result, it is believed that the material cost and the construction duration can be appropriately determined according to the formwork height.

The Multi-family Residential is one of the most famous building types for a rental property in the US. Often times it includes multiple residential buildings and some amenity facilities, including a clubhouse or leasing office, swimming pool, dog park, and garages. Since the building type is built for rental purposes, the construction planning is phased and it makes the project complicated. Detailed planning and execution are important for successful construction management. This paper provides some management practices that are applied to one of the multi-family residential construction projects in Phoenix, AZ. The Front End Planning (FEP) process performed by both owner and contractor is the first key to a successful construction project. Specifically, the early review of phased turnover strategy, grading, fire/Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, and Mechanical/ Electricity/Plumbing/Technology (MEPT) will provide absolute benefit to the project. Second, using a scheduling method to control short-term schedules and long-term can provide the ability to manage the issues with agility. Third, material delivery and procurement dominate the both project schedule and cost. With this COVID-19 circumstance, it is hard to expect the material, equipment, and labor forces to be delivered on time with the contracted price. Managing floats are more than important to managing construction productivity. Risk management should work to share the risks fairly. Lastly, turnover is directly linked with the profit of the project for both owner and contractor. The communication between the owner and contractor to re-schedule the proper turnover schedule is important for the phased construction project.
