Building information modeling (BIM) is a smart construction technique that is recognized as essential for current construction facility projects. The Public Procurement Service (a construction project-ordering agency) announced a plan to introduce BIM and has required changing the operation of projects by using BIM design information. LCC analysis is essential for items, quantity, and cost information of the construction, and it is expected that efficient work will be achieved by using BIM design information. In this study, a BIM-LCC analysis system was established for selecting optimal design alternatives by actively using open KBIMS libraries. The BIM-LCC analysis system consists of a single alternative and an optimal alternative LCC analysis, but it has a limitation in that only the architecture and machine libraries have been applied. However, by applying BIM, practical use and work efficiency can be expected. In order to use the method as an LCC analysis support tool with BIM design information in the future, it will be necessary to collect user opinions and improve the UI.

전력설비에 대한 접지시스템의 근본 목적은 인체에 대한 안정성의 확립과 설비의 기능 향상을 위하여 사고 발생 시 고장 전류를 대지로 안전하고 신속하게 방전시키는데 그 목적이 있다. 풍력발전기 접지설계 시 고려해야 할 중요한 설계 요소는 토양조건, 대지저항률의 측정과 분석, 고장전류, 안전전압 결정 등이 있으며, 이러한 설계 파라미터 가운데 대지저항률은 접지설계 방법 및 물량에 미치는 영향이 결코 작지 않으므로 이에 대한 정확한 측정과 분석을 통하여 효율적인 접지 설계를 시행할 수 있어야 한다.

The purpose of this paper is to present the optimal design method of viscoelastic dampers and support brace stiffnesses. The dynamics of visco-elastic dampers and support braces connected in series is modeled by state equation. A constraint on maximum story drifts which are computed using RMS\`s of story drifts and peak factors is added to the optimization problem. The number of variables is reduced by including the constraint associated with the dynamic behavior of the structure in the procedure to compute the gradient of the inequality equation about constraint on the maximum story drifts. In the design example, it is confirmed that the design of dampers considering support brace stiffnesses is necessary when sufficient brace stiffnesses cannot be supplied. It is also found that unnecessary brace stiffnesses can be removed by adding brace stiffnesses to optimal design variables and that the increase of damper volumes to compensate for the variation of maximum story drifts is pretty small.

Rural facilities need to be changed to be industrialized and long span structures due to accelerating aging of the rural population. In this study, the optimized structure was developed by applying Pre-Engineered Building System using the tapered member to make that the Korea standard green house has a long span. When considering design load, reasonable values were adapted by reviewing existing design codes. As a result, applying pre-engineered building system was efficient in structural system that has span longer than 16 m. And it was concluded that the increase with the longitudinal span from 4 m to 12 m was more efficient in aspect of steel amount.

In this paper, it is covered in detail the process of generating structural alternatives with geometry change and its optimization by StrAuto. The main roof structure of the Exhibition Center is modelled parametrically and the optimal alt is derived by observing volume changes according to geometry change of main roof truss. Existing studies performed optimization process through sections and properties due to the limitations of shape change, but this study have meaning of performing the optimization with geometry changes which is the most critical skills of StrAuto. By the process of securing a sufficient margin by geometry changes and reducing volume with the optimization of sections, despite of a partial optimization of large space structure, it could be reduced by 11.7% of the total volume.

When structural design of a tall building is conducted, reduction of wind-induced lateral displacement is one of the most important problem. For this purpose, additional dampers and vibration control devices are generally considered. In this process, control performance of additional devices are usually investigated for optimal design without variation of characteristics of a structure. In this study, multi-objective integrated optimization of structure-smart control device is conducted and possibility of reduction of structural resources of a tall building with additional smart damping device has been investigated. To this end, a 60-story diagrid building structure is used as an example structure and artificial wind loads are used for evaluation of wind-induced responses. An MR damper is added to the conventional TMD to develop a smart TMD. Because dynamic responses and the amount of structural material and additional smart damping devices are required to be reduced, a multi-objective genetic algorithm is employed in this study. After numerical simulation, various optimal designs that can satisfy control performance requirement can be obtained by appropriately reducing the amount of structural material and additional smart damping device.

This study investigates the optimum section properties of newly developed steel-concrete composite beam. For that purpose we developed computer program calculating section properties. The suggested new beam section highly contribute to save inter-story height and reduce construction duration and cost compared with conventional steel works such as H-beam and column + RC slab system. But the section shape have different section modulus with upper and lower fiber because of the unsymmetric cross section. Therefore the parametric study on thickness-ratio of top and bottom flange plate is needed. In this paper the change of neutral axis and section modulus for thickness-ratio of up and down flage plate is analysed and discussed.

In this study, a microgenetic algorithm was used to find the optimum cross-section and shape of dome structures. The allowable stress and Euler buckling stress were considered constraints when the weight of the trusses was minimum. The design optimization of the truss structures involved arriving at the optimum sizes of the cross-section and geometric coordinate. The features of the proposed method, which helped in the modeling of and application to the optimal design of truss structures, were demonstrated using the microgenetic algorithm, by solving sample problems.

Use of high-strength steel members in building of high-rise buildings and large scale structures is expected to increase the effectiveness of structural design by reducing the weight and cost of structures. So far, high-strength steel members have been used in a very limited way because it is hard to select the proper strengths of steel members in a systematic way with the consideration of the structural cost. In this paper, therefore, a structural optimization technique based on Genetic algorithm is developed for effective use of high-strength steel members in structural design of high-rise buildings with the form of building frame system. The stability and efficiency of the technique is evaluated by using to a 35-story building. As a result, a stable and reliable optimal solution was obtained with a difference of 2.63% between individual and mean optimal structural costs.

Seismic design of braced frames that simultaneously considers economic issues and structural performance represents a rather complicated engineering problem, and therefore, a systematic and well-established methodology is needed. This study proposes a multi-objective seismic design method for an inverted V-braced frame with suspended zipper struts that uses the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II(NSGA-II). The structural weight and the maximum inter-story drift ratio as the objective functions are simultaneously minimized to optimize the cost and seismic performance of the structure. To investigate which of strength- and performance-based design criteria for braced frames is the critical design condition, the constraint conditions on the two design methods are simultaneously considered (i.e. the constraint conditions based on the strength and plastic deformation of members). The linear static analysis method and the nonlinear static analysis method are adopted to check the strength- and plastic deformation-based design constraints, respectively. The proposed optimal method are applied to three- and six-story steel frame examples, and the solutions improved for the considered objective functions were found.
