Abstract

The service life of civil infrastructure needs to be maintained or extended through appropriate inspections and maintenance planning, which results from the optimization process. A multi-objective optimization process can lead to more rational and flexible trade-off solutions rather than a single-objective optimization for the service life management of civil infrastructure. Recent investigations on the service life management of civil infrastructure were generally based on minimizing the life-cycle cost analysis and maximizing the structural performance. Various objectives for service life management have been developed using novel probabilistic concepts and methods over the last few decades. On the other hand, an increase in the number of objectives in a multi-objective optimization problem can lead to difficulties in computational efficiency, visualization, and decision making. These difficulties can be overcome using the objective reduction approach to identify the redundant and essential objectives. As a result, the efficiency in computational efforts, visualization, and decision making can be improved. In this paper, the multi-objective optimization using the objective reduction approach was applied to the service life management of concrete bridges. The results showed that four initial objectives can be reduced by two objectives for the optimal service life management.

사회기반시설물은 적절한 수명관리를 통해 경제적이고 안전한 구조성능을 유지한다. 일반적으로 최적화 기법을 적용하여, 유지보수의 시점과 방법을 결정하게 되는데, 이 적용에 있어서 단일 목적함수만을 고려하기 보다는 다수의 목적함수를 동시에 고려하는 것이 보다 합리적인 의사결정을 유도한다. 최근까지 수명관리에 관련한 연구는 생애주기 비용 최소화 또는 구조성능 최대화와 관련한 목적함수를 적용하여 왔으며, 새로운 확률론적 구조성능 및 안전성 평가 기법을 이용하여 다양한 형태의 목적함수를 개발/적용하고 있다. 이러한 다수의 목적함수를 동시에 고려하는 다목적 최적화 기반 사회기반시설물 수명관리가 최근 국내외에서 많이 적용되고 있다. 하지만, 수명관리 최적화를 위한 목적함수의 개수가 증가함에 따라 신뢰성있는 결과를 얻기 위해서는 많은 계산시간이 소요되며, 특히 확률론적 계산을 위한 시뮬레이션 기법이 적용되는 목적함수의 경우 계산시간은 더욱 증가하게 된다. 또한, 목적함수의 개수 증가에 따라 계산결과의 차수가 증가하기 때문에 이를 시각화하고 나아가 의사결정에 어려움이 발생한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다목적 최적화 문제의 계산된 결과를 바탕으로 한 의사결정의 효율성 향상을 위해 최소 필수 목적함수를 구별하는 목적감소 기법을 적용하여 콘크리트 교량 상판의 수명관리에 대한 연구를 수행하였으며, 최초 4개의 목적함수가 2개까지 감소되는 결과를 보여준다.
