In this paper, the research contents and results related to the automation of the hull-form optimal design of container ships are summarized. A container ship is a ship that generally operates near Froude number of 0.26. To implement hull-form optimal design automation for ships operating at this speed, an optimization algorithm, a hull-form change algorithm, a ship performance prediction algorithm, an automation algorithm, and an iterative calculation technique were applied to develop a numerical analysis computer program that enables hull-form optimal design automation of the container ship, and it was named HOTCONTAINER. In this study, a sensitivity analysis algorithm was developed and applied to appropriately set design variables for hull-form optimal design. To understand the reliability and real ship applicability of the developed algorithm, a numerical analysis was performed on KCS(KRISO Container Ship), a container ship that has been studied in various ways worldwide. Consequently, the optimal ship was derived, and the wave resistance, wave pattern, and wave height of the target and optimal ship were compared. In conclusion, compared the target ship, the optimal ship a 47.63% decrease in wave resistance, and the displacement and wet surface area decreased by 0.50% and 0.39%, respectively.

In this study, an automated optimum design program for steel box girder bridges has been developed for the optimum design of composite steel box girder bridges. The design constraints required for the optimum design of steel box girder bridges are based on the Korean standard bridge specification. Considering characteristics of steel box girder bridges, several approximation techniques, such as artificial constraint deletion, variable linking and stress reanalysis technique etc. are also introduced to enhance the efficiency of optimization. The developed program is mainly composed of major sub-system modules including structural analysis module using commercial structural analysis program such as RM-SPACEFRAME, optimum design module, pre-process module for friendly user input, and post-processor module for office automation. In addition, in order to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the developed optimum design program for steel box girder bridges, a few numerical examples are applied. Based on the results of the application, it may be stated that the automatic optimum design program developed in this study can be a prototype model for the developement of optimum design program for other type of bridge.

제품설계에 관련된 다양한 공학해석분야, 즉 구조해석, 동역학, 열ㆍ유체ㆍ유동해석, 제어, 전자기장해석 등을 동시에 고려하면서 최적의 설계를 결정하는 것을 다분야통합최적설계(Multidisciplinary Design Optimization: MDO) 기술이라 한다. MDO 프레임적 (framework)은 최적화기술, 컴퓨팅기반구조기술, 통합설계기술이 유기적으로 구현된 소프트웨어 복합체계로서, 분산컴퓨팅 기반구조를 통하며 MDO요소 기술들과 기존의 CAD/CAE 도구들을 연계하여 설계 작업을 통합적으로 관리하고 자동화한다. MDO 프레임칙은 이러한 자동화된 통합관리를 통하여 설계도구 간의 데이터 전달과 변환에 소요되는 설계자의 부담을 경감시키며 다분야 전문가가 참여하는 공통 작업 환경을 제공함으로써 설계 효율성을 증진시킨다. 이 글에서는 현재 최적설계신기술연구센터 (iDOT)에서 개발 중인 MDO 프레임웍인 EMDIOS를 소개하기로 한다.

The quantity of container transportation of the world habors is constantly increasing by 8.8 per year until 2011. Present port facilities will not satisfy it. So facility expansion is necessary. Because the processing cost in the harbor becomes to 30% of total transportation expense, major pors inthe world are making an effort in the automation facilities to solve the problems of higher labor costs and indufficient labor and to maximize the efficiency of the work and use of the land. Especially, the automation of the gate, which is the place of cargo's appearance and disappearance, the node which creates the information, is now rising as the important issue. In this study suggest more efficient design for port gate automation. First, calculate scale of gate complex, and compare of 1 step gate and 2 step, and optimal design for automated operation method of gate process.

The primary objective of this paper is to develop optimal algorithms of reinforced concrete frame structural systems by the limit state design(CP 1110) and to look into the possibility of detailed design of these structural systems. The structural formulation is derived on the finite element method. The objective of optimization of a reinforced structure for a specified geometry is mainly to determine the optimum cross-sectional dimensions of concrete and the area of the various sizes of the reinforcement required for each member. In addition to the detail s such as the amount of web reinforcement, cutoff points of longitudinal reinforcedments etc. are also considered as design variables. In this study, the method of "Generalized Reduced Gradient, Rounding and with Neighborhood search" and "the Sequential Linear Programming" are employed as an analytical method of nonlinear optimization.

The government continues to announce measures to revitalize smart construction technology based on BIM for productivity innovation in the construction industry. In the design phase, the goal is design automation and optimization by converging BIM Data and other advanced technologies. Accordingly, in the basic design of the Namhae Seomyeon-Yeosu Sindeok National Road Construction Project, a domestic undersea tunnel project, BIM-based design was carried out by developing tunnel design automation technology using 3D spatial information according to the tunnel design process. In order to derive the optimal alignment, more than 10,000 alignment cases were generated in 36hr using the generative design technique and a quantitative evaluation of the objective functions defined by the designer was performed. AI-based ground classification and 3D Geo Model were established to evaluate the economic feasibility and stability of the optimal alignment. AI-based ground classification has improved its precision by performing about 30 types of ground classification per borehole, and in the case of the 3D Geo Model, its utilization can be expected in that it can accumulate ground data added during construction. In the case of 3D blasting design, the optimal charge weight was derived in 5 minutes by reviewing all security objects on the project range on Dynamo, and the design result was visualized in 3D space for intuitive and convenient construction management so that it could be used directly during construction.
