| Abstract |
In recent years, many high-rise buildings are constructed and the number is increasing in Korea. Though high-rise buildings have more stories than non-high-rise buildings, the construction duration of high-rise building is not in proportion to the number of the stories or the height. This means that the construction duration per floor of high-rise buildings is relatively shorter than that of non-high- rise buildings, and consequently, there are more time-overrun risks in high-rise building construction. Further, the Korean construction companies do not have enough experiences and well-structured knowledge on high-rise building construction, which enables them to cope with the time-related risks, due to the relatively short history of high-rise building in Korea. The purpose of this study is to propose a method for the evaluation of time-affecting factors in high-rise buildings construction. This method is to screen the important factors that should draw more attention during the construction process. This method is based on FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) method and devised to be applied at construction planning stage. The usefulness of this method is reviewed through a case study. |
