The building needs of the community are met by the interrelated construction activities of maintaining, modernizing and replacing the existing stock of building and by the erection of additional new building. Studying the service lift of buildings and how it is determined can serve as an important measuring stick in making decisions on construction policy. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide useful information for future construction through a comparative and analytical study of building structures on disappeared buildings. It was found that most building structure had a shorter service life than the standard set by The Korea Appraisal Board. This situation may have occurred due to the sharp rise in replacement of older buildings with new buildings for the purpose of monetary profit. To increase the economic life of buildings reduce losses of the nation's capital henceforth, examination on policy md steady study needs to be done.

The cash flow forecasting is normally done by contractors in construction industry at early stages of the project for contractual decisions. The decision making in such situations involve uncertainty about future cash flows and assessment of working capital requirements gains more importance in projects constrained by cash. The traditional approach to assess the working capital requirements is deterministic in and neglects the uncertainty. This paper presents an alternate approach to assessment of working capital requirements for contractor based on fuzzy set theory by considering the uncertainty and ambiguity involved at payment periods. Statistical methods are used to deal with the uncertainty for working capital curves. Membership functions of the fuzzy sets are developed based on these statistical measures. Advantage of fuzzy peak working capital requirements is demonstrated using peak working capital requirements curves. Fuzzy peak working capital requirements curves are compared with deterministic curves and the results are analyzed. Fuzzy weighted average methodology is proposed for the assessment of peak working capital requirements.

The waterproofing in slab and wall of underground structure, have a couple of construction methods which are inside waterproofing methods for inner surface, and outside waterproofing methods for out wall and slab surface waterproofing. In resent years, however, it has been adapted the inside waterproofing construction method, as increasing of construction expenses cost and low workability and technology, nevertheless, outside waterproofing has set a most high value construction method. In inside waterproofing construction method, it is difficult to repair and assure durability and safety for concrete which has direct water-press. So, It is necessary for adopt the outside waterproofing method. For that reasons, this study based on the application for outside waterproofing method on the under ground structure, to more increase durability, to introduce mono adhesive sheet waterproofing materials. as considering chemical, physical properties.

In South Korea, there have been attempts to enhance BIM work practices in various aspects. Public Procurement Service(PPS) has recently published 'basic guidelines to improve BIM work practices in construction and facility management'. It defines roles and responsibilities of project members in their application of BIM. It also developed a set of modelling standards and guidelines for effective model creation, management and communication among BIM users. Moreover, numerous construction companies have tried to cultivate BIM specialized manpower throughout entire construction phases. However, there are still challenges faced by firms during BIM adoption. Therefore, this study aims to provide practical counsel for construction companies to help them create optimized facilities and deliver high performance by analyzing BIM-based domestic construction projects in Korea from 2009 and 2015. The study will investigate types of client, project, BIM application range, and application technology.

Nowadays, the construction sites are growing in city every year, so complaints for construction noise have increased more and more. To analyze this noise scientifically, construction noise prediction program was developed in 1998 and 2005 but it is too difficult to apply program in field because there is few soundproof facilities and it can't understand the coordinate system and so on. The aim of this study is to develop noise prediction program to apply in construction sites. For this, the problems of existing program was analyzed and survey was performed to get requestion of field overseer and upgraded program. To get reliability of program, it was compared with sound measurement value in field. As a result, construction sound prediction program have various soundproof facilities data than existing program. It can also analyze multi receiver point at the same time for several construction machinery. Most of all, it is more powerful to set receiver or source in the axis of X, Y, Z. so program user can make use of it easily. An average of difference is -0.9$\sim$1.8dB.

The demand on free-form buildings is gradually increasing, but there are several problems such as increased cost and construction duration, and decreased constructability at the construction phase upon construction of a building owing to the difficulty of member production-installation. To solve these problems, a technology to produce FCP using a CNC machine was developed. Basically, it delivers the information on a free-form building designed to the CNC machine, the shapes of RTM and PCM are created using the information delivered and FCP are produced with the RTM and PCM which act as forms. Since the construction duration and project cost are limited on site, the efficiency of FCP production-installation is significant for application of the technology. For it is almost impossible to change the production-installation layout and process once they are set in the construction phase, they should be carefully determined. Before the production-installation layout are established, it is necessary to analyze the factors that influence the duration. Thus, the study intends to analyze influence factors in PCM mold on estimation of the production-installation duration for FCP. According to the analysis of influence factors, a simulation model for estimation of the duration that changes depending on the constraint conditions can be built.

This study was carried out to propose the optimum technologies that can be applicable to noise and fugitive dust controlling in construction sites by comparative analysis in cases. The ninety three environmental management technologies applied to fifty-five construction projects conducted during 2005~2007 in Korea were analyzed by checklist method. The construction companies paid more attention to the noise and fugitive dust controlling technologies than the waste and wastewater. The diverse pollution controlling techniques were applied to the architectural projects than the civil projects to meet the environmental requirements in residential area. The fugitive dust controlling technologies(75.3%) were more widely applied to all construction projects than the noise controlling technologies(24.7%). As the noise controlling techniques, the noise barriers in wall-form which are set up as boundary in construction site were more widely used than the noise barriers in curtain-form, in cabin and silencers. Water spraying systems, wind barriers and mechanical sweepers were the preferred technologies for controlling fugitive dust emission.

Knotworking represents a distributed collaborative expertise in pursuit of a task that is organized among designers from different design disciplines. Construction processes involve phases and tasks that cannot be solved in one organization only, as integration of expert knowledge from various sources is needed. Through knotworking, groups of people, tasks and tools are set to work intensively for a short period of time to solve a problem or accomplish a task. Knotworking requires intensive collaboration across organizational boundaries and hierarchies. The practice of knotworking has been developed and applied in the development of healthcare organizations, libraries and school-university relationships, but it has not previously been applied in the construction industry. In this paper, we describe the concept of knotworking and the findings of a case study that we completed in the Finnish construction industry. We will also compare the similarities and differences of the Big Room and knotworking in terms of participants, duration, target, space/infrastructure, benefits and challenges. Finally, we present some suggestions for further research and experimentation on knotworking in construction projects.
