V d 1: Civil Engineering
Thit lp cc xut nghin cu Inflated steel costs in Taiwan over the past two
years have led to increased construction costs and lower industrial profits.
Vn nghin cu Subsequent delays in steel bridge construction projects have
made it impossible for the CEC to forecast the launching of a project, posing a high risk
to new construction efforts.
c im k thut nh lng ca vn nghin cu For instance, the CEC
authorized a contractor to undertake a steel bridge project, which the owner
subsequently rejected. The owner claimed that the contractor made a breach of
contract and insisted on confiscating the performance bond of the steel bridge project,
compensating for the difference in the re-bidding fee and publicizing this transgression
in a government procurement bulletin to prevent CEC from bidding on projects for a
year. The Public Construction Commission of the Executive Yuan served as a
mediator to avert pending litigation.
Tm quan trng ca vn nghin cu The lack of an effective remediation method
makes it impossible for the CEC to resolve disputes in the construction industry
efficiently.

V d 1 (cont.)
Mc tiu nghin cu Based on the above, we should develop an
effective remediation method for the CEC to resolve disputes in the
construction industry efficiently.
Phng php t c mc tiu nghin cu To do so, the
contract contents can be carefully studied to determine the rights and
obligations of the contractor. Photographic evidence can then be
accumulated from the jobsite. Next, lawyers can serve as
representatives of both parties to resolve disputes. Finally, disputes can
be resolved via a mediation conference or litigation.
Kt qu d kin As anticipated, the proposed mediation method can
enable the project owner to return the performance bond of the steel
bridge project and receive compensation.
ng gp trong lnh vc l thuyt v thc tin Moreover, the
proposed method can orient CEC staff on how to enhance contract
management skills.

V d 2: Civil Engineering
Thit lp cc xut nghin cu The greenhouse effect, accelerated
industrial growth and strong consumer growth (as exacerbated by elevated
living standards) account for insufficient power supply during the summer.
Vn nghin cu While Taiwan relies on water, fossil fuels and nuclear
power for its power supply, no adequate water source is available to
establish a hydropower plant.
c im k thut nh lng ca vn nghin cu As evidence of
their prohibitively high costs in operations, operating costs for fossil fuel
power plants and nuclear power plants can run into billions of dollars such
as the No. 4 Nuclear Power Plant.
Tm quan trng ca vn nghin cu The inability to devise a more
economically feasible means of preventing power shortages during the
summer will ultimately lower living standards and industrial revenues owing
to frequent power lapses.

V d 2 (cont.)
Mc tiu nghin cu Based on the above, we should develop a
wind power strategy for increasing the power supply from a wind
power plant that does not cause CO2 pollution, and operates
economically.
Phng php t c mc tiu nghin cu To do so, a
wind power plant can be established at a location with a strong wind
current in Taiwan such as on the west coast or in the southern part
of the island. An adequate wind power source must be available to
establish a wind power plant (NOTE: Add 2-3 more sentences to
describe the methodology more completely).
Kt qu d kin As anticipated, the proposed wind power strategy
can provide about 10% of all power requirements.
ng gp trong lnh vc l thuyt v thc tin Importantly, via
the proposed strategy, a wind power plant can minimize the costs of
fuel demand and provide a cleaner environment.

V d 3: Civil Engineering
Thit lp cc xut nghin cu With the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) Meeting to be held in Bandun, i.e. the provincial capital of
West Java, the Indonesian Government must construct a convenient and rapid
freeway connecting Jakarta and Bandun. This undertaking will promote the
countrys image with respect to technical accomplishments. PT. Jasa Marga
(Persero) (JM), an Indonesia governmental enterprise, won the bidding rights in
2005 to construct the Cikampek-Cipularang Freeway (CCF) that will connect
the Jakarta-Bandun Freeways.
Vn nghin cu Failure to complete construction of the CCF by the end of
April 2007 will mean a lost opportunity during the APEC meeting to showcase
Indonesians rise to the international stage. The most difficult aspect of the
CCF project is the Cikubang Bridge, which is located in a mountainous region
and will largely determine whether than CCF project is completed on time.
However, construction of the Cikubang Bridge was delayed eight months
because of budgetary constraints and poor construction management.

V d 3 (cont.)
c im k thut nh lng ca vn nghin cu With the
project facing a twelve month deadline for completion, a new contractor
must be assigned the task. Still, the conventionally adopted
construction method must be adjusted to comply with already tight
budgetary constraints.
Tm quan trng ca vn nghin cu The inability to make such
adjustments may deal a blow to Indonesias image, reflecting the
ineptitude of governmental policy and a low confidence level among the
general public.

V d 3 (cont.)
Mc tiu nghin cu Based on the above, we should develop an efficient
and timely construction model to compensate for scheduling delays.
Phng php t c mc tiu nghin cu To do so, a modified
construction model can be considered from four aspects of the project:
switching to a different contractor revising structural design, altering
construction approaches and adding equipment. For the structural design of
girders, the continuous box type can be changed to a simple supported beam
type. In the construction method, an automatic slip-form system can be
implemented instead of a conventional form system for erecting twenty pier
columns, i.e. over 40 meters in height and a girder by using the horizontal
pushing method to replace the cantilever method. For piling work, at least
three sets of boring rig must be added to the job site. Re-contracting a wellinformed contractor is the most urgent task. Despite this responsibility, the
informed contractor must have strong financial support and ample
construction resources, e.g., experiences with similar projects, abundant
construction equipment and personnel, reliable construction management
and the ability to reduce mobilization time.

V d 3 (cont.)
Kt qu d kin As anticipated, the proposed construction
model can save three months of piling work, four months for
constructing pier columns and three months for erecting
girders. Consequently, the overall schedule can cut down at
least eight and a half months.
ng gp trong lnh vc l thuyt v thc tin
Hopefully, the proposed model can facilitate on time or
ahead of time completion of a project. JM must be
responsible for limiting the potential on-site harm. Moreover,
the proposed model can achieve project goals, although
overall construction costs might be increased by 6%. The
ability of JM to effectively respond to this challenge will gain
public confidence and bolster Indonesias international
image.

V d 4: Civil Engineering
Thit lp cc xut nghin cu The shield method is adopted to
comply with budgetary and time constraints in completing a 345 kv cable
line of the Taipei Dam Project.
Vn nghin cu However, conventional constructs, e.g., the open
excavation pipeline method, on urban roadways often require constant
movement or scaffolding to protect the pipeline, making it extremely difficult
to estimate completion time of a pipeline project when constant movement
or scaffolding is involved.
c im k thut nh lng ca vn nghin cu For instance,
completion time of a pipeline project is extremely difficult to estimate when
constant movement or scaffolding is involved.
Tm quan trng ca vn nghin cu The inability to estimate project
completion will make costs involving design and construction technologies
adopted prohibitively high.

V d 4 (cont.)
Mc tiu nghin cu Based on the above, we should develop a
construction design scheme that adopts the shield method to avoid
a time delay in project schedules.
Phng php t c mc tiu nghin cu To do so, a
vertical shaft can be constructed in a nearby underground obstacle.
A hole can then be drilled to enable engineers to pass through the
underground obstacle via the vertical shaft. Finally, an electrical
cable can be constructed and placed in the hole.
Kt qu d kin As anticipated, the proposed construction
design scheme can pass through the underground obstacle,
eliminating the need to move the pipeline.
ng gp trong lnh vc l thuyt v thc tin Importantly, the
proposed scheme can provide a valuable reference for
governmental authorities or construction companies when dealing
with underground obstacles.
