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.

컴퓨터 소프트웨어는 이제 우리의 일상적인 삶에서 필수불가결한 요소이며 시스템의 운용에 중요한 요인이 되었다. 최근에 들어서는 소프트웨어 비용이 하드웨어 비용을 초과하게 되면서 소프트웨어를 개발하는데 필요한 비용과 더불어 소프트웨어 고장에 의한 비용의 중요성이 더 커지게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process(NHPP)에 기초한 소프트웨어 비용 모형을 제안하려고 한다. 개발초기단계에서 출시 전까지의 소프트웨어 개발비용과 테스트비용, 출시이후의 보증기간동안의 제반비용, 소프트웨어 고장에 의한 위험비용 등을 포함하는 소프트웨어 비용 모형을 제안하고 소프트웨어의 최적 출시시기를 결정하는 효과적인 정책을 제시하려고 한다.

In this study, traditional treatment scenario of food wastes that collected and transported food waste is recycled in large treatment facilities and suggested treatment scenario of onsite zero discharge system that food waste is treated in housing complex were supposed. The scenarios were compared and analyzed by capital expenditure, oil consumption, $CO_2$ emission quantity, operating expenditure and management expenses. The capital expenditure, oil consumption and $CO_2$ emission quantity of small scale dispersion dealing method is the lowest compared to traditional treatment method. As a results, it is possible to obtain the effect that operating expenditure was reduced by 91% and management expenses was reduced by 40% with suggested treatment method. The treatment method that have low capital expenditure is tend to lower oil consumption and $CO_2$ emission quantity. The small scale dispersion dealing method have the lowest capital expenditure, oil consumption and $CO_2$ emission quantity and the linked method with sewage treatment have the highest expenditure and $CO_2$ emission quantity. Eventually, the optimal model of onsite zero discharge system in housing complex is small scale dispersion dealing method.

This paper analyzed the effect of transaction costs on the prices and trading volumes at the initial stage of emission markets and also examined how the size of the effect differs depending on the characteristics of the transactions. We built trading protocols modeling a recursive process to search the trading partner and make transactions with several behavioral assumptions considering the situations of early markets. The simulations results show that adding transaction costs resulted in reduction of trading volumes. Furthermore, the speed of reduction in trading volume to the increase of transaction costs is higher when there is scale economy. With a certain level of scale economy, the trading volumes abruptly fall down to almost zero as the transaction cost gets over a certain level. This suggests the possibility of a failed market. Since the scale economy is thought to be significant in the early stage of emission trading market, it is desirable to design a trading system that maximizes trading volumes and minimizes unit transaction costs at the outset. One of the alternatives to meet these conditions is to establish a centralized exchange and take measures to increase trading volumes.

이 연구에서는 점탄성감쇠기가 설치된 구조시스템의 통합최적설계 방법을 제시하였다. 최적화를 위한 목적함수로는 구조시스템이 유발하는 사회적 비용을 의미하는 총 생애주기비용을 사용함으로써, 구조제어 시스템의 성능에 기반한 경제적 유익을 극대화하도록 하였다. 구조물의 층별 기둥 강성 및 점탄성감쇠기의 사용량 등을 설계변수로 하여 생애주기비용함수를 정의하였으며, 통합시스템을 동시에 최적화하기위한 방법으로 유전자 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 동일한 초기비용을 사용하며 통합최적설계를 수행하지 않은 설계를 통해 얻어진 지진응답과 비교한 결과, 제안하는 통합 설계방법은 보다 우수한 진동제어효과를 발휘하는 것으로 나타났다.

최근 건설사업시장의 개방과 건설사업관리제도(이하CM)의 도입으로 국내 건설업계 및 생산시스템에도 많은 변화가 일어나고 있다. 이에 따라, 건축물의 초기시설비는 물론 유지관리 및 최종 폐기단계까지의 비용을 종합적으로 고려한 건물생애주기비용(이하 LCC)에 대한 중요성이 증대되었으며 특히 기계장치의 유지관리비 중 많은 부분을 차지하는 공기조화시설 부문에서 LCC가 주로 검토되고 있다. 그러나 국내에서는 공기조화 설비의 LCC에 대한 절차 및 기준 등이 미비하여 효과적인 LCC분석이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 최근 수행된 국내 공기조화 설비분야의 LCC분석 사례를 조사하여, 국내 공조설비의 LCC분석의 문제점을 분석하였다. 또한 사례 분석을 중심으로 공조설비의 LCC분석 절차를 제시하고 이 절차에 따라 7개의 사례를 비교분석하였다. 그 결과, LCC측면에서 최적 대안을 선정하는 경우 각 대안 별로 뚜렷한 차이를 보이고 있는 에너지비용과 초기투자비를 주된 비용요소로 고려하는 것이 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

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

The GIS(Geographic Information System) projects require big initial investment and cost of maintenance. Decision makers would not launch GIS projects unless they are convinced of the benefits of the projects. Therefore the purpose of this paper is to develop an appropriate model for GIS project evaluation. We proposed a GIS project evaluation model and summarize the steps involved in Cost-Benefit Analysis(CBA). The costs of a GIS implementation include hardware and software cost, costs of database development, training expenses, annual maintenance expenses, and other annual expenses. The benefit by using GIS has been assessed into Type I(direct benefits), Type II(indirect benefits), Type III(benefits that result from the sale of information services), Type IV(intangible benefits).
