This study is intended to propose a systematic approach for reliability-based assessment of life cycle cost (LCC) effectiveness and economic efficiency for cost-effective seismic upgrading of existing bridges. The LCC function is expressed as the sum of the upgrading cost and all the discounted life cycle damage costs, which is formulated as a function of the Park-Ang damage index and structural damage probability. The damage costs are expressed in terms of direct damage costs such as repair/replacement costs, human losses and property damage costs, and indirect damage costs such as road user costs and indirect regional economic losses. For dealing with a variety of uncertainties associated with earthquake loads and capacities, a simulation-based reliability approach is used. The SMART-DRAIN-2DX, which is a modified version of the well-known DRAIN-2DX, is extended by incor-porating LCC analysis based on the LCC function developed in the study. Economic efficiencies for optimal seismic upgradings of the continuous PC segmental bridges are assessed using the proposed LCC functions and benefit-cost ratio.

프로젝트의 초기단계인 기획·설계단계에서 비용이 차지하는 비율은 작지만 이 단계에서 계획된 내용에 따라 수명주기동안의 비용은 큰 영향을 받는다. 최근 정부에서도 공공 건설사업 효율화 종합대책과 부실시공 방지 종합대책을 통하여 타당성 단계에서 UC 검토를 활용하도록 하고 있다. 1980년 말부터 국내에서도 LCC에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 오고 있으나 LCC 분석에 관한 절차와 세부지침, 실적자료의 부재로 실용화에 어려움을 가지고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 건축물을 대상으로 수명주기동안의 총비용을 산정할 수 있는 분석 방법론과 비용모델을 제시하고, 전산화를 위한 알고리즘을 개발함으로써 효과적인 LCC 산정을 할 수 있도록 한다.

건축물의 생애주기비용은 시행과정 전 단계에서 상호 연관되어 비용이 발생하며 각 단계마다 서로 간에 영향력이 존재한다. 하지만 건축 프로젝트의 각 단계별 CBS가 서로 상이하여 합리적인 공사비를 산정하는데 문제점이 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존에 연구되었던 LCCBS를 바탕으로 건축 프로젝트 각 단계 간에 경계조건을 분석하였다. 또한 분석된 경계조건을 바탕으로 분절요인을 분석하고 이에 따른 연계방안을 모색하였다. 연계방안의 유효성 검증을 위해 실제 건축프로젝트를 바탕으로 사례적용을 실시하였다. 분석결과 누락되는 항목이 97.2%이상을 개선하였고 평균 6시간 빠르게 업무를 수행할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후, LCC 시스템에 적용함으로써 LCC의 효율적인 산정 및 LCC 절감을 계획할 수 있을 것으로 사료다.

This study is intended to propose a systematic procedure for the development of the reliability-based seismic safety and cost-effective Performance criteria for design and upgrading of long span PC bridges. In the paper, a set of cost function models for life cycle cost analysis of bridges is proposed. The total life cycle cost functions consist of initial cost and direct/indirect damage costs considering repair/replacement costs, human losses and property damage costs, road user costs, and indirect regional economic losses. The damage costs are successfully expressed in terms of Park-Ang median global damage indices and damage probabilities. The proposed approach is successfully applied to model bridges in both regions of a moderate seismicity area like Seoul, Korea and a high one like Tokyo, Japan. It may be expected that the proposed approach can be effectively utilized for the development of cost-effective performance criteria for design and upgrading of various types of bridges as well as long span PC bridges.

This paper represents the life-cycle cost(LCC) of steel bridges which are located on the train-network. Corrosion problems are mainly considered in the steel members such as steel plate girder, box girder, truss and arch. Based on the current value, initial construction cost, maintenance cost and demolition cost are calculated and life-cycle costs are formulated for the several types of bridges. From the comparison on each LCC, an effective painting method is recommended for reducing the LCC of steel bridges. Even though the initial cost of Super Weather Resistance Heavy Duty Paintings (Resin Fluoride) is expensive, because of the long endurance, the LCC of steel bridges painted with Super Weather Resistance Heavy Duty Paintings (Resin Fluoride) is less than that painted with General Heavy Duty (Rubber Chloride).

신규로 투입되는 전동차는 강화된 안전성과 승객 편의성 규격이 요구되며 이로 인해 차량 초기 구입 비용 증가가 불가피할 것으로 예상되나 효율적인 설계를 통한 운영비 절감 등 또한 예상된다. 따라서 차량 구입은 초기 구입 비용, 운영 비용을 고려하여 결정되어야 하며, 이러한 비용 추정의 한 방법으로써 차량 수명 주기 비용(Life Cycle)과 그 적용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다.

Parts and units of 8200 series electric locomotive are aging, but and source technology is not secured. As a results, maintenance costs are increasing steadily due to using expensive substitute parts. Therefore, various studies have been conducted to reduce maintenance costs. In this paper, the life cycle cost(LCC) of the developed and conventional products were compared and analyzed about main conversion system in 8200 Series electric locomotive. As a result of analysis, the material cost was the highest in the conventional product among the various item costs. On the other hand, it is confirmed that preventive cost was the highest among the costs about the developed product.

Purpose: The main theme of this study is to derive a profit curve by a cubic cost function for nonlinear CVP analysis. According to the analytical approach to derive a nonlinear profit function in this study, it is possible with only the existing cost structure to calculate the profit maximization and downtime point sales unlike the classical CVP analysis. Furthermore, the profit curve by the mathematical model of this study could serve as a tool to quantify the qualitative evaluation of each stage of the industry life cycle. Methods: This study followed the mathematical approach from the cubic cost function model of microeconomics, and using real data of the Bank of Korea Results: The nonlinear profit function suggested by this study is as follows; ${\pi}(x)=-a\left(x-\frac{f}{1-v}\right)^3+(1-v)x-k$ where $a=\frac{1}{3}v\left(\frac{(1-v)}{f}\right)^2,k=f-a\left(1-\frac{f}{1-v \right)^3$ Conclusion: The process and results of this study would be able to contribute not only in practice of nonlinear CVP analysis required in the management accounting or financial management, but also in cost theory of microeconomics. Also, since the life cycle of all industries in Korea was verified to the growth or mature stage, decision makers should pay careful attention to determining life cycle stages and consider the profit curve by the average variable cost ratio over multi periods.

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.
