The conventional reliability based design optimization(RBDO) methods require high computational cost compared with the deterministic design optimization(DO) methods, therefore it is hard to apply directly to large-scaled problems such as an aerodynamic shape design optimization. In this study, to overcome this computational limitation the efficient RBDO procedure with the two-point approximation(TPA) and adjoint sensitivity analysis is proposed, that the computational requirement is nearly the same as DO and the reliability accuracy is good compared with that of RBDO. Using this, the 3-D aerodynamic shape design optimization is performed very efficiently.

Flood frequency analysis commonly used to design the hydraulic structures to minimize flood damage includes uncertainty. Therefore, the most appropriate design flood within a uncertainty should be selected in the final stage of a hydraulic structure, but related studies were rarely carried out. The total expected cost function introduced into the flood frequency analysis is a new approach for determining the optimal design flood. This procedure has been used as UNCODE (UNcertainty COmpliant DEsign), but the application has not yet been introduced in South Korea. This study introduced the mathematical procedure of UNCODE and calculated the optimal design flood using the annual maximum inflow of hydroelectric dams located in the Bukhan River system and results were compared with that of the existing flood frequency. The parameter uncertainty was considered in the total expected cost function using the Gumbel and the GEV distribution, and the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm was used to sample the parameters. In this study, cost function and damage function were assumed to be a first-order linear function. It was found that the medians of the optimal design flood for 4 Hydroelectric dams, 2 probability distributions, and 2 return periods were calculated to be somewhat larger than the design flood by the existing flood frequency analysis. In the future, it is needed to develop the practical approximated procedure to UNCODE.

By using the current road design method that is based on the regulation about structure and facilities standard of the road and the route plan guide of a national road and the alignment optimization road design method which is studied in the inside and outside of country, this study operate the route plan of the sample study and compare and analysis the route character, consequently the current design method has local optimization that is formed the plan by the stage and the section. Alignment optimization road design has the system optimal route search. But cost function has limite that caused by construction parameter that is not included in cost function. So we design a road route included cost function in main fields. As a result, we obtain a realistic and economically road route. The alignment optimization road design model has to be made up some problems, like the change of vertical gradient in the tunnel section, though this defects it has a lot of merits as a geometric design tool, especially in the feasibility study and the scheme design.

Structural optimization pursues improved performance of structures. Nowadays, structural optimization is applied to the design of huge and complex structures such as an airplane. As the number of the finite elements is increased, the analysis solution becomes more accurate. However, the design cost using the finite element model is significantly increased. The component mode synthesis method that is using the substructure synthesis method is frequently employed in order to keep the accuracy and reduce the cost. A new design method for structural optimization is proposed to reduce the design cost and to consider the dynamic effect of the structure. The proposed method reduces the design cost by applying the equivalent static loads on the design domain. An example of linear dynamic response optimization is solved and the efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated.

In the process of designing pareto optimal insurance contract, it is necessary to assume that insurance contract conditions are endogenous to build a model. The expected utility, the non-expected utility and the state-dependent utility function can be applied as a insurance decision making principle. The insurance costs may have the linear, convex, and concave ralationship with the indemnity schedule. However, the sunk cost and fixed cost must be recognized. The deductible which decides whether an insurance contract to be a full or partial insurance contract can exist in the forms of straight deductible or diminishing deductible. Indeciding the level of deductible, the types of the insurance and the risks to be insured should be the deciding factors. Especially for recall insurance, there is relatively high chance that the recalling company being bankrupt. Therefore, the possibility of bankrupcy should be the considering factor in deciding the policy limit. The existence of the incomplete market and uninsurable background risk should be understood as restricting conditions of the pareto-optimal insurance contract.

Railway operators have given a lot of efforts to determine the railway route of the minimum cost. In order to determine the optimal alignment, the alignment should be allocated satisfying the design criteria on various geographical condition with the minimum earth works. The determination of the optimal railway alignment is a kind of combination optimization because that must consider various design elements. This study developed a numerical model to determine the optimal railway alignment with the minimum construction cost. The problem was analyzed by the genetic algorithm, and the concept of the optimal alignment was established with the results from the analyses. The methodology was applied to a fictitious rail construction section and the result was evaluated. This methodology is meaningful considering the fact that the cost for energy is greater than that of the construction.

최적설계는 설계자가 요구하는 제한조건을 만족시키는 범위에서 목적함수가 최소가 되는 설계점을 찾는 방법이다. 그러나 기존의 최적설계는 불확실성의 영향을 고려하지 않아 최적해가 제한조건의 경계에 위치하고 이것은 모델링과정이나 가공 등으로 인한 오차에 대한 영향을 고려하지 않는 문제점이 있다. 신뢰성 기반 최적설계는 불확실성을 정량화하면서 신뢰도를 계산하는 신뢰도 해석과정과 최적설계과정을 포함한다. 일반적으로 신뢰성 해석은 크게 추출법, 급속 확률 적분법, 모멘트 기반 신뢰성해석이 있다. 가장 널리 사용되는 급속 확률 적분법 중 최대 손상 가능점(MPP) 방법은 많은 MPP점이 존재하는 경우 수치적 비용이 증가하는 문제점과 표준 정규분포 공간으로 변환하는 과정에서 제한조건의 비선형성을 증가시켜 큰 오차를 발생시키는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 RBDO를 수행하기에 앞서 선행되어야 할 신뢰성해석 방법으로 곱분해기법을 사용하였고 이로부터 민감도 정보를 유도하여 기울기 기반 최적화 알고리즘을 적용하였다.

상수관망을 통한 용수 공급에서는 송수펌프, 배수지 등의 수리 시설물이 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 우리나라의 송 배수 방식은 송수펌프를 통해 고지대의 배수지에 물을 확보하고, 이를 자연유하 방식으로 공급하는 것이 일반적이며, 따라서 송 배수시스템의 운영이란 송수펌프의 가동과 그에 따른 배수지의 수위 현황을 관리하는 것을 의미한다. 이 때, 펌프의 가동을 위한 전력소모에 많은 비용이 발생되므로 효율적인 펌프 운영을 위한 최적화 연구의 필요성이 제기되었다. 기존 연구를 통해 송 배수시스템의 운영을 모의하고, 펌프 가동비용을 최소화 하는 실시간 최적 펌프운영 모형이 개발되었으나, 미리 결정된 펌프와 배수지를 바탕으로 송 배수시스템을 모의하기 때문에 계획 및 설계 단계에서 이를 활용할 수 없는 한계점이 존재하였다. 본 연구에서는 최적화 알고리즘 중 하나인 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm, GA)을 사용하여, 실시간 펌프운영뿐만 아니라 송수펌프와 배수지의 효율적인 용량을 제시할 수 있는 최적화 모형을 개발하였다. 특히, 개발 모형은 펌프와 배수지의 설계/운영 시, 국내 설계기준, 시설물 비용, 시간별 전력단가 등을 제약조건으로 고려하여 현실적인 결과를 도출할 수 있도록 개발되었다. 본 연구는 실제 운영 중인 S시의 광역상수도 시스템을 바탕으로 개발 모형을 적용하였으며, 또한 송 배수시스템의 계획 및 관리에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study presents a design method for three-span continuous preflex composite girder bridges (3S-PCB) which imposes prestresses in the negative moment region by lifting or lowering interior supports and the design method is automated by a computer program which incorporates optimal design procedure. The objective function for the design of 3S-PCB minimizes the cost of construction materials and the constraint functions represent the limited dimensions of the design section and the allowable stress for each structural member as given in the specifications. Optimal design procedure used in this study is a modification of existing sequential unconstrained minimization technique (SUMT), a numerical analyses procedure for two-span continuous preflex composite bridges. The optimized design sections determined for each span length are compared with those of simple preflex composite beams (SPCB) and the optimal girder depth is determined by defining the relationship between girder depth and construction material costs.
