This study examined the validity of the level of the earthquake load defined in the Korea specification for the tower crane which utilized the equivalent static load. The specification on the structure and performance of tower crane defined that the earthquake load should be considered as a horizontal load corresponding to 15 % of a crane self weight. However, this definition did not reflect the vibration characteristic including frequencies of the tower crane. Thus, it is necessary to carry out a study on the earthquake behavior of tower cranes that reflected the dynamic characteristic of earthquake loads and tower cranes. it was thought that the level of earthquake load defined in equivalent static analysis for the tower crane did not reflect the structural behavior of the tower crane correctly by overestimating the response from tower crane.

The purpose of this study is to provide client safety and health management duty in the construction industry. Most regulations did not give direct roles and duty to client in construction industry. As a result of the survey on construction workers who have the greatest influence on the prevention of industrial accidents, the clients and constructors chose contractor the most. Safety managers and supervisors chose client the most. Therefore, it is necessary to manage safety and health centered on the client in order to prevent fundamental disasters.

Collapse of reinforced earth retaining wall due to improper design and construction is still occurring during construction and operation. While most studies of reinforced retaining walls are focused on the mechanistic behavior, there is little study on the improvement of assessment item, which is used to examine the safety of retaining wall, based on the existed inspection data. This study proposed new weighting factor of assessment item by utilizing multiple regression analysis technique, AHP method, and entropy method for the existed inspection data of reinforced earth retaining wall. Compared to the existed weighting factor, the value and the rank of proposed weighting factors are changed. By applying the proposed weighting factors to the existing retaining walls of 161 sites, fragility region of 47 sites is changed.

This study suggested the improved safety certification marking system on the types of the temporary equipment. By surveying and interviewing the related persons in the construction company, the manufacturing company, and the rental company, the safety certification marking system was analyzed. The results show that the efficient marking was analyzed to utilize a depressed engraving on the target equipment and material. For marked contents, a certification mark, an identification number, and the production year should be displayed and the manufacturer name could be selectively presented. However, the opinions of the certification mark position among the users and manufacturers did not come into the agreement.
