철도시설물의 유지관리를 위한 전통적인 의사결정 방법은 구조물의 기술적인 측면 즉, 시설물의 안전성과 사용성 등을 만족시키는 조건하에 경제적인 측면 즉, 시설물의 생애주기 비용을 최소화하고자 하는 것이며, 생애주기 비용을 정량화하기 위한 도구로서 LCC 기법이 사용되었다. 그러나, 1990년대 후반 이후로 지구온난화 등의 피해가 부각됨에 따라 선진국들을 중심으로 시설물의 유지관리를 위한 의사결정에 환경적 측면과 사회적 측면을 추가적으로 고려하는 지속가능한 발전 개념을 도입하고 있으며, 환경 부하를 정량화하기 위한 도구로서 LCA를 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 시설물의 유지관리 행위와 관련된 경제적 측면과 환경적 측면을 정량화하는 방법으로서 LCC 및 LCA의 적용 방안을 고찰하고, LCC 및 LCA 결과로부터 시설물 유지관리 최적 방안을 결정하기 위한 의사결정 기법을 제안한다. 국내의 철도시설물에 대한 유지관리 필요성이 증대되고 있으며, 철도시설물의 규모가 커서 유지관리 행위에 따른 경제적 및 환경적 파급효과가 큼을 감안할 때, 본 연구에서 제안된 내용은 경제적이고 환경 친화적인 철도시설물 유지관리 방안을 선정하는데 유용한 방법론으로 활용될 것으로 사료된다.

This paper presents a design method to minimize Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of steel box girders. The LCC considered in this paper includes initial cost, expected life-cycle maintenance cost and repair cost. A load carrying capacity curve is derived from a condition grade curve of steel girders and load tarrying capacity that is measured in safety diagnostic test. And then, optimal design of steel box girders is performed on the basis of load carrying capacity curve. In this paper time and number of times for repair of steel girders are determined based on the calculated load carrying capacity curve. Also, annual costs considering real discount rate are compared and analyzed in various cases. It is concluded that the optimal design of steel box gilders considering LCC by the presented method will lead to more economical and safer girders than conventional design.

In order to extend the service life of a nuclear power plant(NPP) ensuring the structural safety, effective and efficient management of NPP considering structural deteriorations and various natural hazard risks has been treated as a significant tool(IAEA 1998). The systemic efforts is required to prevent the potential loss of NPPs resulting from the natural hazard including earthquakes, hurricane and flooding since the Fukushima accident. Earthquake risk of building structures can be mitigated through appropriate seismic isolation system installation. It has been known that a seismic isolation system can lead to reduction of the deleterious effect on ground motion induced by earthquakes, and structural safety can be improved. In this paper, the NPP life-cycle management is reviewed. Furthermore, effect of seismic isolation on the NPP life-cycle cost analysis with earthquake, and cost-benefit analysis in terms of life-cycle cost when applying the seismic isolation systems to NPP are introduced.

The importance of the life cycle cost (LCC) analysis for bridges has been recognized over the last decade. However, it is difficult to predict LCC precisely since the costs occurring throughout the service life of the bridge depend on various parameters such as design, construction, maintenance, and environmental conditions. This paper presents a methodology for the optimal life cycle cost design of a bridge. Total LCC for the service life is calculated as the sum of initial cost, damage cost, maintenance cost, repair and rehabilitation cost, user cost, and disposal cost. The optimization method is applied to design of a bridge structure with minimal cost, in which the objective function is set to LCC and constraints are formulated on the basis of Korean Bridge Design Code. Initial cost is calculated based on standard costs of the Korea Construction Price Index and damage cost on damage probabilities to consider the uncertainty of load and resistance. Repair and rehabilitation cost is determined using load carrying capacity curves and user cost includes traffic operation costs and time delay costs. The optimal life cycle cost design of a bridge is performed and the effects of parameters are investigated.

This paper presents an optimum deck and girder system design for minimizing the life-cycle cost(LCC) of steel box girder bridges. The problem of optimum LCC design of steel box girder bridges is formulated as that of minimization of the expected total LCC that consists of initial cost, maintenance cost and expected retrofit costs for strength, deflection and crack. To demonstrate the cost effectiveness of LCC design of steel box girder bridges, the LCC optimum design is compared with conventional design method for steel box girder bridges. From the numerical investigations, it may be positively stated that the optimum design of steel box girder bridges based on LCC will lead to mote rational, economical and safer design.

It is common that the analysis of VE/LCC is performed in design phase of quay wall structures. The analysis is mainly executed based on experience and engineering sense of expert considering the selection of construction method, construction and maintenance cost. Recently there are increasing demands on the analysis that includes uncertainty and vulnerability of input parameters, for this purpose, fuzzy reliability based probabilistic VE/LCC analysis model for quay wall structures is suggested. In VE/LCC analysis for quay wall structures, the application of probabilistic analysis method give very similar results compare with those of deterministic analysis method. It is anticipated that the methodology proposed in this paper can also be utilized in the design and maintenance phase of other facilities where decision making is made for the probabilistic life cycle cost and value analysis.

Recently, the demand on the practical application of life-cycle cost effectiveness for design and rehabilitation of structure is rapidly growing unprecedently in engineering practice. Accordingly, in the 21st century, it is almost obvious that life-cycle cost together with value engineering will become a new paradigm for all engineering decision problems in practice. However, in spite of impressive progress in the researches on the LCC, the most researches have only focused on the Deterministic or Probabilistic LCC analysis approach (Level-1 LCC Model) at design stage. Thus, the goal of this study is to develop a practical and realistic methodology for the Lifetime risk based Life-Cycle Cost (LCC)-effective optimum decision-making at design stage.
