The paper presents a Life-Cycle Cost-based optimization framework for wind-excited tall buildings equipped with Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs). The objective is to minimize the Life-Cycle Cost that comprises initial costs of the structure, the control system and costs related to repair, maintenance and downtime over the building's lifetime. The integrated optimization of structural sections and mass ratio of the TMDs is carried out, leading to a set of Pareto optimal solutions. The main advantage of the proposed methodology is that, differently from the traditional optimal design approach, it allows to perform the unified design of both the structure and the control system in a Life Cycle Cost Analysis framework. The procedure quantifies wind-induced losses, related to structural and nonstructural damage, considering the stochastic nature of the loads (wind velocity and direction), the specificity of the structural modeling (e.g., non-shear-type vibration modes and torsional effects) and the presence of the TMDs. Both serviceability and ultimate limit states related to the structure and the TMDs' damage are adopted for the computation of repair costs. The application to a case study tall building allows to demonstrate the efficiency of the procedure for the integrated design of the structure and the control system.

Parametric life-cycle cost(LCC) models have been integrated with traditional design tools, and used in prior work to demonstrate the rapid solution of holistic, analytical tradeoffs between detailed design variations. During early designs stages there may be competing concepts with dramatic differences. Additionally, detailed information is scarce, and decisions must be models. for a diverse range of concepts, and the lack of detailed information make the integration make the integration of traditional LCC models impractical. This paper explores an approximate method for providing preliminary life-cycle cost. Learning algorithms trained using the known characteristics of existing products be approximated quickly during conceptual design without the overhead of defining new models. Artificial neural networks are trained to generalize on product attributes and life cycle cost date from pre-existing LCC studies. The Product attribute data to quickly obtain and LCC for a new and then an application is provided. In additions, the statistical method, called regression analysis, is suggested to predict the LCC. Tests have shown it is possible to predict the life cycle cost, and the comparison results between a learning LCC model and a regression analysis is also shown

LCC 분석은 건축물의 설계단계 뿐만 아니라 유지관리 단계에서의 보수 보강 또는 교체에 대한 최적 의사결정의 도구로서 이론적으로나 실무적으로 각광을 받고 있는 분석 방법이다. 이는 초기 투자비용의 효율성을 극대화 하고 유지관리를 통한 구조물 사용성의 효율적 증대를 극대화하는 노력의 일환으로 최근 건축물의 설계 및 유지관리 시 LCC 분석효과의 실질적인 적용이 요구되어 지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 일반적인 분석기법에 그치고 있는 기존 LCC 연구를 생애위험도를 고려한 LCC분석을 통해 설계단계 최적 의사결정을 위한 새로운 분석 방법론을 도출하였다.

In this paper, optimum design is considered over the retaining wall with seismic constraints. The sequential linear programming method(SLP) is used as a rational approach to this optimum design. To make a comparison between the seismic design and the normal design, retaining wall with 4~7m height were adopted. It is shown that the seismic design is more expensive (over 30%) than the normal design for the construction cost.

This paper describes a method to design a guaranteed cost controller for a system with uncertain parameters. The design procedure consists of defining an arbitrary function which satisfies certain condition and minimizing it over the control input. When the method is applied to a class kof linear systems with uncertain parameters, a Riccati equation with additional terms results. A simple example is presented to illustrate the usefulness of this method.

신뢰성평가는 고속철도교량에 포함된 불확실성의 영향을 고려하여 정량적 구조안전성을 검토하기 위한 효율적인 방안이며, 신뢰성평가에 기초한 기대생애주기비용은 고속철도교량의 합리적인 안전수준 및 설계기준을 제공할 것이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 수치해석과 신뢰성평가 결과를 바탕으로 고속철도교량의 기대생애주기비용 및 최적설계 방안을 결정하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 고속철도교량의 표준설계를 기준으로 다양한 설계방안을 설정한 후, 각각의 설계방안에 대해 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 설계강도 한계상태방정식에 따른 신뢰성평가는 수치해석결과를 토대로 외적 불확실성의 영향을 고려하여 수행하였다. 고속철도교량의 기대생애주기비용은 각각의 설계방안에 따른 신뢰성평가 결과를 바탕으로 산정 하였다. 또한 최적설계 방안은 산정된 기대생애주기비용을 이용하여 결정하였다. 아울러, 최적설계 방안의 신뢰성평가 결과 및 기대생애주기비용에 대해 내적 불확실성의 영향을 고려하여 검토하였다. 이 연구결과는 고속철도교량의 체계적인 안전성 평가 및 최적 구조설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Ergonomic techniques have been required to analyze the effectiveness of functional clothing design improvement in a systematic and analytic manner. The goals of the present study are to: (1) comprehensively and analytically examine the effectiveness of clothing improvement by using the relationship analysis between clothing design components (D) and ergonomic evaluation measures (E) and (2) prove the usefulness of cost-effectiveness analysis for clothing design optimization. The cost effectiveness analysis is comprised of the preliminary evaluation based on expertise and the in-depth evaluation where the D-E relationship analysis is applied. As a result of the cost effectiveness analysis applied to flame-proof clothing, an optimal design was identified by analyzing costs and qualitative/quantitative effects. In the preliminary evaluation, the expected effectiveness of each design alternative on wear efficiency and wear comfort was estimated. In the in-depth evaluation, however, the effectiveness of each design alternative was analyzed by quantitative evaluation in a wearing test using a questionnaire prepared based on the D-E relationship analysis. It was concluded that the D-E relationship analysis and the cost-effectiveness analysis are useful for comprehensive evaluation and optimization of functional clothing design.

The configurations of the heat exchanger of the boiler can be determined from the trade-off between the heat transfer area which is related to the capital cost and the pressure drop which is related to operating cost. In this study, 3.5 ton/hr small size marine boiler having concentric annuli tubes is the design boiler. To determine the optimizing point, according to diameter, number, length of tube, heat transfer, pressure drop, operating cost and capital cost have been calculated. Also, when the fin tube is replaced by the bare tube design parameters changed have been calculated.

In the quality planning phase, the techniques for measuring cost-quality trade-offs are used for the selection of the optimal design specifications when design flexibility permits significant trade-offs to be made. But the product quality is not only depends on the developing cost, but also the time for developing that product. Therefor it is important to seek a methodology for estimating time-cost-quality trade-offs associated with the quality planning projects. This paper is aimed to find a methodology of time-cost-quality trade-offs and to develop a proper algorithm.

LCC (Life-Cycle Cost) analysis is a practical method and a guideline for evalua-ting the economic performance of building service systems. By using the LCC analysis, the most cost-effective design decision can be made, which has the lowest LCC during the project study period among the various design alternatives. The present case shows an example of appro-priate use of the LCC analysis, by demonstrating the procedures of decision making among at-tarnative building HVAC systems at community center and congress hall of a local government.
