In the last decade, the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a new technology has been applied with traditional Computer-aided design implementations in an increasing number of architecture, engineering, and construction projects and applications. Its employment alongside construction management, can be a valuable tool in helping move these activities and projects forward in a more efficient and time-effective manner. The traditional stakeholders, i.e., Owner, A/E and the Contractor are involved in this BIM system that is used in almost every activity of construction projects, such as design, cost estimate and scheduling. This article extracts major features of the application of BIM from perspective of participating BIM components, along with the different phrases, and applies to them a logistic analysis using a fuzzy performance tree, quantifying these phrases to judge the effectiveness of the BIM techniques employed. That is to say, these fuzzy performance trees with fuzzy logic concepts can properly translate the linguistic rating into numeric expressions, and are thus employed in evaluating the influence of BIM applications as a mathematical process. The rotational fuzzy models are used to represent the membership functions of the performance values and their corresponding weights. Illustrations of the use of this fuzzy BIM performance tree are presented in the study for the uninitiated users. The results of these processes are an evaluation of BIM project performance as highly positive. The quantification of the performance ratings for the individual factors is a significant contributor to this assessment, capable of parsing vernacular language into numerical data for a more accurate and precise use in performance analysis. It is hoped that fuzzy performance trees and fuzzy set analysis can be used as a tool for the quality and risk analysis for other construction techniques in the future. Baldwin's rotational models are used to represent the membership functions of the fuzzy sets. Three scenarios are presented using fuzzy MEAN, AND and OR gates from the lowest to intermediate levels of the tree, and fuzzy SUM gate to relate the intermediate level to the top component of the tree, i.e., BIM application final performance. The use of fuzzy MEAN for lower levels and fuzzy SUM gates to reach the top level suggests the most realistic and accurate results. The methodology (fuzzy performance tree) described in this paper is appropriate to implement in today's construction industry when limited objective data is presented and it is heavily relied on experts' subjective judgment.

본 연구에서는 Computer-Aided Design (CAD) 모델로부터 4D CT 데이터로 변환하는 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발된 프로그램의 성능을 확인하기 위해, 공학과 의학의 융합 모델로 인체 호흡을 모사할 수 있는 호흡모사 팬텀을 CAD 기반 프로그램으로 모델링하였으며, 이 모델을 10개의 위상영상을 포함하는 DICOM형태의 4D CT 데이터로 변환하는 CAD2DICOM을 개발하였다. 이후, 제작된 4D CT 데이터의 정확성 및 유효성을 평가하기 위하여 영상의 해상도, 종양의 체적 및 위치 등을 방사선치료계획시스템을 이용하여 평가하였다. 결과적으로, 제작된 4D CT 데이터가 방사선치료계획시스템 상에 정상적으로 인식됨을 확인하였으며, 모든 위상에서 종양 체적은 8.8cc로 차이가 나타나지 않고 종양의 움직임도 설정된 10mm로 나타나 정확히 반영됨을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 프로그램을 이용하면 실제 4차원 CT 촬영에서 발생할 수 있는 영상의 인공물(허상)이 없는 표준 영상을 획득할 수 있으므로, 향후 움직임에 민감한 4차원 방사선 치료계획연구 및 4차원 방사선 영상 평가연구 등에 활용될 것으로 사료된다.

Large area matrix-addressed image detectors are a recent technology for x-ray imaging with medical diagnostic and other applications. The imaging properties of x-ray pixel detectors depend on the quantum efficiency of x-rays, the generated signal of each x-ray photon and the distribution of the generated signal between pixels. In a phosphor coated detector the light signal is generated by electrons captured in the phosphor screen. In our study we simulated the lateral spread distributions for phosphor coupled detector by Monte Carlo simulations. Most simulations of such detectors simplify the setup by only taking the conversion layer into account neglecting behind. The Monte Carlo code MCNPX has been used to simulate the complete interaction and subsequent charge transport of x-ray radiation. This has allowed the analysis of charge sharing between pixel elements as an important limited factor of digital x-ray imaging system. The parameters are determined by lateral distribution of x-ray photons and x-ray induced electrons. The primary purpose of this study was to develop a design tool for the evaluation of geometry factor in the phosphor coupled optical imaging detector. In order to evaluate the spatial resolution for different phosphor material, phosphor geometry we have developed a simulation code. The developed code calculates the energy absorption and spatial distribution based on both the signal from the scintillating layer and the signal from direct detection of x-ray in the detector. We show that internal scattering contributes to the so-called spatial resolution drop of the image detector. Results from the simulation of spatial distribution in a phosphor pixel detector are presented. The spatial resolution can be increased by optimizing pixel size and phosphor thickness.

국내외 기계등급제재목(구조재 및 층재)의 등급기준 및 설계강도 산출방법을 비교 분석하고 국내 제재산업 실정을 고려한 평균 탄성계수(modulus of elasticity, 이하 MOE) 기준방법 적용을 제안하였다. 먼저 올바른 기계등급제재목 기준 정착을 위해 기계등급구조재와 기계등급층재의 공통점과 차이점을 설명하였다. 최소 고정 MOE 기준 등급을 사용하는 국내 기준은 등급구분에는 편리하나 휨강도(modulus of rupture, 이하 MOR) 예측과 자원이용도 측면에서는 효율성이 낮은 것으로 파악되었다. 해외에서 사용되는 평균 MOE 기준 방법은 초기 컴퓨터 기반 작동을 요구하나 MOR-MOE 직선회귀에 근거한 합리적인 MOR 예측과 품질관리 측면에서 효율성이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 무엇보다도 현 국내 기계등급구조재 등급체계는 수종별 강도 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있다는 것이 가장 큰 문제점으로 분석되었으며 이러한 결과를 기반으로 MOR-MOE 직선회귀분석에 근거한 기계등급제재목 등급기준 및 기준설계값 산출방법 적용을 제안하였다. 이를 통하여 궁극적으로 부가가치가 높은 국산 기계등급구조재 생산 활성화를 이루고, 기계 등급구조재의 층재 전용 가능에 따른 구조용 집성재 가격경쟁력 제고 효과를 얻을 수 있다고 사료되었다.
