Integrated watershed sewage works program(IWSWP) is defined as implementing, by one of local governments or central government, sewage facilities planning, installation and management for a certain watershed in which criteria of water quality is established and two or more local governments are involved. It is shown that IWSWP is more efficient for the improvement of water quality of water body than conventional local sewage works program(CLSWP) and besides, economical benefits can be achieved by integration of facilities and M&O. In this research, case study for 8 watershed area were investigated to evaluate the difference of effect between IWSWP and CLSWP. The research shows that IWSWP has the money saving result of approximately 12 % by cost reduction for sewage works investment. B/C analysis result shows that B/C ratio of IWSWP was 1.749 and it is higher than B/C ratio of 1.439 for CLSWP. At the same time, the B/C sensitivity analysis is carried out for the rate of discount and the recreational use benefit.

A comprehensive study was conducted to design economical foundations for a number of buildings on soft cohesive soil in the southern coastal regions of Iran. Both static and seismic loads were considered in the design process. Cyclic experiments indicated that the cohesive soil of the area has potential for softening. Consequently, the major challenge in the design stages was relatively high dimensions of settlement, under both static and seismic loadings. Routine soil-improvement methods were too costly for the vast area of the project. After detailed numerical modeling of different scenarios, we concluded that, in following a performance-based design approach and applying a special time schedule of construction, most of the settlement would dissipate during the construction of the buildings. Making the foundation as rigid as possible was another way to prevent any probable differential settlement. Stiff subgrade of stone and lime mortar under the grid foundation and a reinforced concrete slab on the foundation were considered as appropriate to this effect. In favor of an economical design, in case the design earthquake strikes the site, the estimations indicate no collapse of the buildings even if considerable uniform settlements may occur. This is a considerable alternative design to costly soil-improvement methods.

비탈면 설계 단계에서 안전율이 설계기준에서 제시하고 있는 안전율을 확보하지 못할 경우, 앵커를 시공하여 안전율을 확보하게 된다. 안정해석을 통해 앵커의 비탈면 보강 효과를 검증하고 있으나 이 과정에서 앵커 시공 간격은 대부분 등간격으로 가정하여 해석을 한다. 경제적이면서 효과적인 비탈면 보강을 위해 안정해석 대상 비탈면 내에서 앵커 시공 간격을 조정한 안정해석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 앵커 시공 간격이 비탈면의 안전율 변화에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 이를 위해 가상의 2소단 비탈면을 설정하고 앵커 시공 간격을 다르게 하여 안정해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과, 비탈면의 상단면, 중단면, 하단면에 동일한 간격으로 앵커를 시공한 경우 보다 하단면 앵커 간격을 좁게하고 상단면, 중단면의 앵커 간격을 넓게 경우에 비탈면의 안정성을 확보하면서도 약 15%의 앵커 물량을 절감하는 결과가 나타났다. 이는 동일한 간격으로 앵커보강을 하기 보다는 비탈면 특성에 맞게 앵커 시공 간격을 다르게 하는 것이 경제적이면서 효과적인 보강효과가 있음을 의미한다.

This paper presents an economic analysis for the travel aids service system for visually handicapped persons through RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). This research estimates both cost and economic effect of the service. By using input-output analysis technique, three kinds of repercussion effects - domestic production, value added, and workers induced by the travel aids service - are also calculated. To evaluate the profitability of the service, we investigate the procedures through which the service has an effect on the interested parties and develop formulas describing the procedures. The benefit of the service have been generally obtained by measuring the willingness to pay (WTP). This paper, however, obtains the monetary value of benefit by estimating the parameters of the formulas, so that a close improvement of the service may be possible with the result of the economic analysis.

This paper describes a method of the refined plastic hinge approach in the framework of the higher-order element formulation that can efficaciously evaluate the limit state capacity of a whole reinforced concrete structural system using least number of element(s), whereas the traditional design of a reinforced concrete structure (i.e. AS3600; Eurocode 2) is member-based approach. Hence, in regard to the material nonlinearities, the efficient and economical cross-section analysis is provided to evaluate the element section capacity of non-uniform and arbitrary concrete section subjected to the interaction effects, which is helpful to formulate the refined plastic hinge method. In regard to the geometric nonlinearities, this paper relies on the higher-order element formulation with element load effect. Eventually, the load redistribution can be considered and make full use of the strength reserved owing to the redundancy of an indeterminate structure. And it is particularly true for the performance-based design of a structure under the extreme loads, while the uncertainty of the extreme load is great that the true behaviour of a whole structural system is important for the economical design approach, which is great superiority over the conservative optimal strength of an individual and isolated member based on traditional design (i.e. AS3600; Eurocode 2).

This paper describes the buckling phenomenon of a tubular truss with unsupported length through a full-scale test and presents a practical computational method for the design of the trusses allowing for the contribution of torsional stiffness against buckling, of which the effect has never been considered previously by others. The current practice for the design of a planar truss has largely been based on the linear elastic approach which cannot allow for the contribution of torsional stiffness and tension members in a structural system against buckling. The over-simplified analytical technique is unable to provide a realistic and an economical design to a structure. In this paper the stability theory is applied to the second-order analysis and design of the structural form, with detailed allowance for the instability and second-order effects in compliance with design code requirements. Finally, the paper demonstrates the application of the proposed method to the stability design of a commonly adopted truss system used in support of glass panels in which lateral bracing members are highly undesirable for economical and aesthetic reasons.
