This paper is on a practical method for determination of the economical steel ratio in RC flexural members with an equal safety factor. The cost functions of each material and labor are considered to construct the cost function. Then, an equation for determination of the economical flexure steel ratio with the lowest construction cost were proposed. It was found that a relevant steel ratio is recommended to be 0.65~1.0% for designing singly reinforced rectangular beam.

The accurate estimation of construction cost is important to a successful development in construction projects. In previous studies, the construction cost are estimated by statistical methods. Among the statistical methods, support vector regression (SVR) has attracted a lot of attentions because of the generalization ability in the field of cost estimation. However, despite the simplicity of the parameter to be adjusted, it is not easy to find optimal parameters. Therefore, to build an effective SVR model, SVR's parameters must be set properly without additional data handling loads. So this study proposes a novel approach, known as genetic algorithm (GA), which searches SVR's optimal parameters, then adopt the parameters to the SVR model for estimating cost in the early stage of apartment housing projects. The aim of this study is to propose a GA-SVR model and examine the feasibility in cost estimation by comparing with multiple regression analysis (MRA). The experimental results demonstrate the estimating performance based on the percentage of estimations within 25% and find it can effectively do the accurate estimation without through the trial and error process.

In construction project planning and control, a cost model performs a critical role such as cost determination on a contract stage and cost tracing. The model can maximize owner's profit and value within the project budget and optimize cost management works on overall construction implementation stages. A BoQ(Bill of Quantities) generally adopted in a unit price contract has been applied as an important tool for cost control and forecast. However a previous cost model based on the BoQ has shown limitations in that it requires too detailed information and heavy manpower on cost management and difficulty in keeping relationship with construction planning, scheduling and progress management. The each cost items and unit prices which constitute of construction works are individually very important management factors but the relative weight for each items and prices have a difference on the contents and conditions of each conditions of each construction works. In consideration of this structural mechanism of cost determination, this research is aimed at examining the critical factors affecting the construction cost determination and propose and verify a new cost forecasting model which is more simple and efficient and also keeps the accuracy of cost management.

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.

On 30 June, 2017, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport announced the minimum size of parking section will be expanded in parking lots. The expansion of parking section could lead to increase in apartment prices because of increase in total area of the parking lots. It is necessary to adjust the column spacing and number in the parking lots and to apply the 8-Bay long-span parking module with good parking efficiency. According to the study, the construction cost of the 6-Bay module and 8-Bay module was almost the same. But The 8-Bay module was more economical than the 6-Bay module because of the reduction in total area of 8-Bay multi-moduel. The Result of construction cost of 8-Bay modules, Removal Deck-plate RC system was most economical. While the construction cost of PC system was higher due to increase in volume of the member, it would ensure sufficient economy by reducing the girder height to apply a pre-stress method. Also, the construction cost of hollow slab system was the highest. But it could be used as the underground parking lots for apartment, because it had the lowest cost per square meter. This Study has a academic significance by proving the applicability of the 8-Bay Module to underground parking lot of apartment. And it is expected that this study will be used as basic data to derive optimal construction method that applies 8-Bay Module.

지중배전관로공사 설계시 고려할 사항은 지중배전관로 공수산정, 적정관로 선정, 매설위치 및 매설깊이, 관재의 선정, 관로의 경간, 관로배열 등이 고려되어야 한다. 관로공사비는 굴착깊이와 굴착폭에 의해 산정되고 이는 관로배열, 굴착지반의 토질에 따른 굴착구배, 용수여부, 도로관리기관의 조례, 다짐정도, 작업환경, 작업시간 등에 의해 변화하게 된다. 이런 현장조건 들은 설계자가 바꿀 수 없는 요소이지만 관로배열을 어떤 형태로 하여 매설할지는 설계자가 정하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 경제적인 관로배열을 선정하기 위해 관로공수별, 관로유형별 공사비를 산출하여 비교 검토하였고 현장에서의 공사시공성, 케이블의 허용전류 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 최적의 관로배열을 제시하였다.

In the cost management of public construction projects, it is an important issue to develop an adequate cost data for estimating the predetermined amount by various methods. For a long time, a standard of estimation in korea is used as a basis for estimating the predetermined amount of public construction. However, they did not have a reasonable cost data based on a labor and equipment productivity analysis. For this reason, it is difficult to make a reasonable and efficient estimation of the costs, and this situation presents an urgent need for more accurate cost data to use in an early phase. This study analyzed the productivity of form work by the CYCLONE model, and presented the model on the number of optimal labor through sensitivity analysis. This CYCLONE model can be useful in analyzing productivity on the various sizes of form. Also, the regression model to estimate the daily output can be used in predicting the amount of labor. Considering the work duration in the regression model is expected to make the daily output estimation much more accurate.

현재 국내에서 적용하고 있는 관내 최대유속기준 3.0m/s의 타당성을 평가하고자 SWMM 모형을 이용하여 최대유속 적용기준에 대한 우수관거 수리분석 연구를 수행하였다. 강우시 모니터링 지점의 우수유입에 따른 관내 실측결과와 검 보정을 통하여 모형을 구축하였으며, 설계빈도(10년 빈도) 홍수 유입시 관내 수리특성을 분석하였다. 관 최적 설계안 수립을 위한 관거 모델링 수행을 통해 관 경사, 조도계수 변화에 따른 관내 최대유속 민감도 분석을 수행하고 최대유속 기준 변화에 따른 최적설계안을 제시하였다. 일반적으로 우수관거 수리계산시 실무에서는 MAKESW 프로그램을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MAKESW가 반영하지 못하는 호우시 관거내 유속, 유량변화 시계열을 SWMM 모형을 통하여 우수관거 수리분석을 수행하였다. 실제 사업지구의 경우 MAKESW를 이용하여 설계된 관내 최대유속이 3.0m/s 이하 일지라도 월류, 압력류, 배수영향을 종합적으로 고려하는 SWMM 모형의 수행결과는 일부 관거에서 설계기준 이상의 유속이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 설계빈도 홍수량 유입시 관 경사, 조도계수 변화에 따른 관거 내 최대유속 민감도 분석을 수행한 결과, 관 경사가 5‰ 증가할 때 관내 최대유속은 약 4~26% 증가했으며, 관경사가 완만한 경우 관 경사 증가에 따른 최고유속의 증가 민감도는 더 커졌다. 관 조도계수에 따른 최고유속 분석결과 관 조도계수가 0.005 커질 때 최고유속은 약 30% 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 현재 국내의 최대 유속기준을 준수하려면 규정보다 훨씬 많은 맨홀 또는 암거의 낙차공을 설치해야 하기 때문에 공사비 증대를 초래할 수 있다. 아직 기본적인 연구단계지만 본 연구결과와 보완연구를 통하여 최적의 관내 최대유속 기준조건을 우수관거 설계계획에 반영한다면 공사비 절감, 공기단축 등의 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.
