A tall building construction is needed to reduce the construction duration for project profitability. Reducing the cycle time of typical floor in the structural frame work which have the largest duration in the whole construction, greatly affects construction duration. Nowadays, some projects are accomplished in the 3 day cycle. In order to accomplish efficiently 3 day cycle, productivity information of similar projects is supported. Therefore, this study proposed labor productivity and application by slab formwork to construct by the 3 day cycle. In order to perform an analysis, we selected 3 cases and analyzed the labor productivity on the basis of the amount of slab forms, labors, and durations. Then, we performed the questionnaire to analyze the application by formwork of tall building construction engineers. This study will contribute to establish a reasonable scheduling in structural frame work of a new similar project.

Green frame technology intended to facilitate the remodeling of apartment housing complexes in Korea and extend their service life has been developed. Green frame design is a Rahmen structure using composite precast concrete members and, unlike a bearing-wall structure, lifting and installing structural members accounts for major steps of structural construction. Therefore, if green frame structure construction is to be scheduled appropriately, systematic lifting plan needs to be developed in advance. Development of lifting plan also requires unit lifting process of composite PC members (columns and beams) that consist of green frame to be analyzed first. Therefore, this study attempts to analyze the lifting process of composite PC members used in green frame structure. To that end, lifting procedure and time of composite PC column and beam are estimated and applied to a project case to analyze the lifting cycle of reference floor. Outcomes produced herein will be used as key data for development of lifting plan in subsequent green frame structure construction.

One of the problems in designing the fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHNES) is the lack of an appropriate sampling frame. Due to the significant time difference, we expect eight severe sampling frame errors if we use the sampling frame obtained from the latest population and housing census that was conducted in 2005. Thus, the construction of an appropriate sampling frame for the fifth KNHNES is crucial for a successful survey. We considered the construction of a sampling frame that overcomes the limitations of the 2005 population and housing census based frame. For the construction of eight new sampling frames, we considered the use of multiple sampling frames in which the frame for the apartment households and the frame for the general households are obtained from different sources.

According to the trend of tail building, it is essential to improve productivity in tall building construction. However, the study on that is insufficient until now. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to propose a new work process of efficient concrete structural fame work to improve productivity in tall building construction. The results of being applied proposed work process are that the 5day cycle time of concrete structural frame work is cut by 0.5day and the quantity of rebar to be demanded in concrete structural frame work is reduced.

A frame slab method has been proved as a possible and profitable construction solution for the urban tunnels with very shallow overburden and the excavation from the surface Is strictly limited. Since this method allows only a small amount of construction activities in the ground surface, the disturbances to the public and the surface traffic can be drastically reduced compared with the ordinary cut-and-cover method. The construction sequences of the method and the some of critical cautions needed are described in detail. Also a comprehensive numerical analysis including 2-D and 3-D analysis have been performed to verify the stability of the ground during the construction. It is revealed from this study that the frame slab method can be a quite successful solution for the shallow overburden tunnelling in urban area.

Green Frame is a method for Rahmen structure construction composed of composite PC members. The composite PC members of Green Frame which are based on in-situ production can reduce the construction cost and are more likely to secure quality when compared to production in factories. Previous studies developed forms for in-situ production of Green Frame composite PC members and proposed algorithms to arrange them on site. However, it requires not only their arrangement, but also calculation of an accurate production period to produce the required PC members in a limited space and supply them in a timely manner. In particular, it is necessary to clearly define the properties of detailed processes for in-situ production of PC members and to calculate the time required for respective process. To do so, this study is a basic research on calculating the time for in-situ production using a linear scheduling method.

In the case of reinforced concrete structures, the knowledge of load transfer in the long-term behavior analysis considering construction sequence is very important. Even though long-term behavior of concrete structures has been widely studied, the studies on the time-dependent axial force variation of shore have been scarce to date. In order to investigate the shore behaviors under actual construction conditions, a three-story test frame was constructed on a construction site. The entire construction schedule for the test frame was made to follow the schedule of an actual three-story frame. To analyze the data collected from the test frame, an analysis method based on the Winkler foundation model was developed. This analysis method accurately Predicts the time-dependent behavior of shore. The analysis results coincide well with those obtained by the Midas GENw program

Consumers demand an increasing variety of requirements for the residential space as the quality of life improves. However, many apartment buildings with the bearing wall structure cannot meet such demands in Korea. A lot of construction resources are squandered and wastes are created as this type of residential buildings is reconstructed. The life of apartment buildings needs to be extended on the basis of easy remodeling of internal space in order to overcome the limits of the bearing wall structure. This research project aims to propose the Rahmen composite frame concept for the long life of apartment buildings. The Rahmen composite frame is expected to have better structural performance, constructability and economic feasibility than the bearing wall structure.

Present study is mainly concerned about the idea of innovative utilization of bamboo in modern construction. Owing to its compatible mechanical properties, a beneficial effect of its use in reinforced concrete (RC) frame infills has been observed. In this investigation, finite element analyses have been performed to examine the failure pattern and stress distribution pattern through the infills of a moment resisting RC frame. To validate the pragmatic use of bamboo reinforced components as infills, earthquake loading corresponding to Nepal earthquake had been considered. The analysis have revealed that introduction of bamboo in RC frames imparts more flexibility to the structure and hence may causes a ductile failure during high magnitude earthquakes like in Nepal. A more uniform stress distribution throughout the bamboo reinforced wall panels validates the practical feasibility of using bamboo reinforced concrete wall panels as a replacement of conventional brick masonry wall panels. A more detailed analysis of the results have shown the fact that stress concentration was more on the frame components in case of frame with brick masonry, contrary to the frame with bamboo reinforced concrete wall panels, in which, major stress dispersion was through wall panels leaving frame components subjected to smaller stresses. Thus an effective contribution of bamboo in dissipation of stresses generated during devastating seismic activity have been shown by these results which can be used to concrete the feasibility of using bamboo in modern construction.

As a rahmen structure, the connection among columns of Green frame is divided into three types such as sleeve, coupler (column pre and post installation), and bolt. The bolt type consists of six types according to steel frame shape and each type has different constructability, safety, structural performance, cost, and quality. Therefore, the analysis of comparison among the types is necessary. The objective of this study is to analyze the characteristics according to the shape of six bolt types to select the appropriate connection of Green frame. The results of this study can be used as a basic study for indentifying the characteristics of steel frame on site applying bolt type connection of Green frame. In addition, this study can be applicable to compare and analyze the performance and constructability of six bolt types in detail.
