Recently, the government recommend the use of LCC analysis at a feasibility phase by comprehensive countermeasures for efficient public construction projects and comprehensive countermeasures against preventing unconscientious construction. From the end of 1980's, studies of LCC is in progress actively However, it is difficult to put to practical use for lack of a process, a detailed guideline and existing data about LCC analysis. This study proposes a analysis methodology and a cost model can estimate life cycle cost for Buildings. Furthermore, it develops algorithms for computerizing which is able to estimate efficient LCC assessment.

In this study, a design value analysis technique that considered stochastic LCC and stochastic performance evaluation was proposed, and by introducing the concept of reliability analysis, a decision making that secured reliability was supported. The results of this study, which was carried out according to the above objectives and methods, are summarized as follows: 1) The design value analysis procedures and value state function, improved in order to carry out a reliable analysis when evaluating alternate proposals that were extracted after the function definition was complete, were formalized, and in order to secure consistency and efficiency for value evaluation procedures, an evaluation index scheme was proposed; 2) Database collection and analysis were done for a bridge's LCC analysis. As for the collection scope of data, literature of previous research done on a bridge's LCC analysis was used as the basis for analysis, and for securing reliability regarding analysis results and dealing with uncertainty of collected data, the MCS technique was applied; 3) Weights and evaluation ranks for performance evaluation of each of the alternate proposals, as well as LCC analysis model, analysis period, discount rate, user expense, safety inspection and safety diagnosis expense conditions for LCC analysis were proposed. Lastly, a feasibility study was done and conclusion was made about "OO grand bridge and connecting road construction work execution design" project centered on value analysis execution case.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate economics by the Life Cycle cost(LCC) analysis of Steel Box Girder and Prestressed Box Girder bridge types. The study has been performed as a case study. A questionnaire survey for the repair and replacement cycle has been done in order to predict operation and maintenance costs. For LCC analysis and comparison, the present value technique is used. The results of this study are summarized as follows: (1) A LCC analysis model of Steel Box Girder and Prestressed Box Girder bridge types is suggested through a case study. (2) The repair and replacement cycle of elements of them are investigated using a questionnaire survey. (3) As a result of LCC case study, the type of Prestressed Box Girder bridge is analyzed more economic than Steel Box Girder.

Recently, most developed countries use the evaluation system about Life Cycle Cost(LCC), and KOREA is beginning to introduce the system to reduce construction expenses. And the introduction of "Technical Proposal Type Bid", which is a new procurement method of Korea government, has made needs for the price-valuation way to evaluate facilities LCC. These days, LCC has been being evaluated by BTL and turnkey project in KOREA, which is suffering from difficulties in evaluating it, because evaluation elements and standards are vague. In addition, LCC evaluation in public construction business except BTL and turnkey is not carried out. Therefore, this paper is to develop a new evaluation index to evaluate LCC both systematically and objectively. The results of this paper are as followings. (1) Necessity and problem analysis of LCC evaluation index, (2) LCC evaluation index deduction from the technical report and question analysis, (3) Application and evaluation method suggestion to practice.

The purpose of this study is to development of life cycle cost analysis methodology of HVAC system for decision maker. The results of this study are as follows; maintenance/management, equipment construction, planning/design, and demolition/sell phases (1) To develop the cost breakdown structure for LCC in HVAC system, this study apply the method of additional pertinent level, title, CBS number, block number and variable index. (2) LCC analysis order of HVAC system compose four phase. (3) Life cycle costing influence diagram can bring us to make the most efficient decision through a visual graphical diagram that is shown relationship among variables and that decision maker traces easily from life cycle cost analysis situation.

LCC (Life-Cycle Cost) analysis is a practical method and a guideline for evalua-ting the economic performance of building service systems. By using the LCC analysis, the most cost-effective design decision can be made, which has the lowest LCC during the project study period among the various design alternatives. The present case shows an example of appro-priate use of the LCC analysis, by demonstrating the procedures of decision making among at-tarnative building HVAC systems at community center and congress hall of a local government.

The importance of the life cycle cost analysis(LCCA) for apartment housing remodeling projects has been fully recognized over the last decade. Accordingly theoretical models, guidelines, and supporting software systems were developed for the life cycle cost analysis of apartment housing remodeling systems. However, the level of consensus on LCCA results is still low due to the lack of reliable data on remodeling activities for safety diagnosis. in order to predict the reliability based LCCA of the given case, suggested the remodeling strategies level after reviewing other related materials. Apply the real information of the economic index. And based on such analytical measures, remodeling and operation cost and LCC in remodeling strategies level have been predicted; suggests the basic information about remodeling interventions level for the apartment housing. The LCC analysis models and the fuzzy logic based safety assessment presented in this study can greatly contribute to the value-oriented design alternative selection, estimation of the economic analysis, and the allocation of budget for apartm.

The purpose of this study is to execute economical analysis for two types of office building HVAC system using LCC technique : single vs, separated HVAC(equal partition installation, unequal partition installation) system. The research method of this study includes the case analysis and questionnaire surveys. The results of this study are as follows: (1) LCCs of 3 types of HVAC system are estimated and the most economical one is investigated as single HVAC system, (2) In this case study, the single HVAC system was investigated as 34% lower in LCC during 15 years per $100m^2$ compared to equal partition installation, as 41% compared to unequal partition installation.

LCC analysis is a method that coordinates with function evaluation for value improvement, rather than a separate one for cost evaluation. Although its accuracy is rising, materials and structural types developed or applied relatively recently have yet to obtain a sufficient maintenance profile DB, inducing reliability to reduce from difficulties in estimating maintenance records. Based on the above mentioned background, this paper presents the LCC methodology of coordinating functional intensification matters with cost for analysis on alternatives with difficulties in setting maintenance profile. Recently, steel plate bridge deck pavements are faced with problems such as plastic deformation due to the increase in heavy vehicles and traffic, promoting the development of a new compound pavement. This paper execute LCC analysis by mentioning case studies of SMA, Guss and PSMA pavements to include performance scale compared between alternatives as relative evaluation coefficients into the maintenance profile.
