Parametric life-cycle cost(LCC) models have been integrated with traditional design tools, and used in prior work to demonstrate the rapid solution of holistic, analytical tradeoffs between detailed design variations. During early designs stages there may be competing concepts with dramatic differences. Additionally, detailed information is scarce, and decisions must be models. for a diverse range of concepts, and the lack of detailed information make the integration make the integration of traditional LCC models impractical. This paper explores an approximate method for providing preliminary life-cycle cost. Learning algorithms trained using the known characteristics of existing products be approximated quickly during conceptual design without the overhead of defining new models. Artificial neural networks are trained to generalize on product attributes and life cycle cost date from pre-existing LCC studies. The Product attribute data to quickly obtain and LCC for a new and then an application is provided. In additions, the statistical method, called regression analysis, is suggested to predict the LCC. Tests have shown it is possible to predict the life cycle cost, and the comparison results between a learning LCC model and a regression analysis is also shown

The objective is to compare with economic evaluation and to analysis the LCC for prestressed concrete used on rail bridge. A new style concrete bridge is difficult to estimate a history for maintenance cost reliably. For the reason, we introduce a analogical interpretation by similar bridge style in order to estimate a appropriate maintenance profile. The proposed method is usefully supplied to estimating the LCC for bridge which is difficult to determine the maintenance cost.

Data structure was designed not only to estimate LCC but also to analyze time-variant reliability index of plate girder bridges. Information model for data structure was categorized into cost information, cost variable information, user cost information, and reliability analysis information according to the characteristic of data. EXPRESS language of STEP was adopted to describe the data structure for the electronic representation of LCC information. The suitability of the developed data structure was verified by estimating LCC and analyzing time-variant reliability index of a plate girder bridge considering corrosion on the basis of the constructed test database.

한국산 동백나무겨우살이(Pseudixus japonicus Hayata)에 존재하는 수용성 리그닌-탄수화물 복합체를 구성하는 다당류의 구조를 밝히고 리그닌 성분과 다당류의 결합양식을 구명하고자, 냉 온수 추출한 수용성 리그닌-탄수화물 복합체(M-LCC-WE)를 DEAE Sephadex A-50로 중성분획(M-LCC-N)과 산성분획(M-LCC-A), 나머지분획(M-LCC-R)으로 세분화한 후 M-LCC-N과 M-LCC-A에 대하여 메틸화, 아세틸화, 그리고 DDQ 산화반응을 실시하였다. M-LCC-N을 구성하는 다당류는 ($1{\rightarrow}4$) 글리코시드결합의 arabinan과 ($1{\rightarrow}4$)나 ($1{\rightarrow}6$) 글리코시드결합의 galactan과 glucan으로 M-LCC-A의 다당류는 ($1{\rightarrow}4$) 글리코시드결합의 arabinan과 ($1{\rightarrow}6$) 글리코시드결합의 galactan이 다당류 주성분으로 밝혀졌으며 galacturonic acid가 결합되어 있기 때문에 산성적 성질을 나타내고 있었다. 또한 M-LCC-A에서는 galacturonic acid 의 carboxyl 그룹이 리그닌의 ${\alpha}$-와 ${\gamma}$-위치에서 ester결합이 존재함이 확인되었다.

This study predicts the maintenance and operation level of the bridge based on the LCC concept. In order to predict the LCC of the given case, suggested the maintenance and operation level after reviewing other related materials. Apply the real information of the maintenance and operation to the three casesof the maintenance and operation level (real, current, and prevented maintenance and operation level). And based on such analytical measures, maintenance and operation costs and LCC in maintenance and operation level, have been predicted: therefore, suggests the basic information about maintenance and operation level for the bridge. With a result of this study, we could obtain (1)the LCC of PSC-bridge and RC-bridge is more economy than Steel-bridge and (2)more active maintenance and operation of a bridge is absolutely necessary.

In this study, an insulation panel system that has the most excellent economic feasibility in a long term LCC viewpoint in some analysis, which determine a proper insulation panel construction method for the out wall of structures, is analyzed. As a result, in the case of a deterministic LCC analysis, the initial investment cost represents about 80,000Won/㎡ for extrusion ceramic panels. Also, although the costs of maintenance, disassembling, and disposal show no large differences compared with other panel systems, metal panels indicate a bit higher than other panel systems about 1.5 times. In the probability density function that analyzes the variation of the probabilistic cost between panel systems and its economic feasibility, metal panels show the highest cost distribution and extrusion and stone panels represent low cost distributions. In the cumulative function distribution that composites probability density functions, the extrusion ceramic panel represents the most excellent economic feasibility and reliability and that is also the most superior subject among the subjects used in this study.

To assess the total cost with all stages of facilities, the feasibility of Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis was examined in this study to estimate the livestock manure treatment system and optimal decision making process. For the economic evaluation, the plant/equipment investment and annual operation cost of four Public Livestock Recycling Facilities, whose treatment capacity is 100 ton piggery manure per day, was compared. The initial cost was in the range of 2,699 million won to 3,202 million won, where T and E methods were highest and lowest, respectively. The annual operation cost was in the level of 378 million to 498 million won, which decreased in the following order : T method > J method > E method > B method. For the LCC analysis, 4.7% of interest rate, 3.13% of inflation rate, and 1.52% of net discount rate was considered by the data received from Bank of Korea and Statics Korea in the period of 2000 to 2009. Also, for the calculation of present value factor, the durable years of civil engineering & construction, machinery and electric instrument was 30 years, 10 years and 15 years, respectively. Based on these consideration, operation cost was in the range of 17,570 won/ton to 20,661 won/ton, and E method (17,570 won/ton) was economical and B method (20,661 won/ton) was non-economical. Though initial cost of T method was higher than that of B method, LCC analysis of T method was lower than that of T method due to the lower operation cost. Therefore, LCC analysis, which considers both initial cost and operation cost, is more reasonable evaluation method than either initial cost or annual operation cost. For the change of LCC analysis according to the uncertainty, the sensitivity analysis was carried out using fluctuation magnitude of discount rate in the period of 2000 to 2009. As a result, LCC analysis evaluated by discount rate was stable for the uncertain factors since the cost leadership did not change even though the sensitivity analysis varied. In summary, the economic evaluation using LCC analysis could be an efficient reference to choose the suitable livestock manure treatment plants. Furthermore, standardization of statement calculation for the actual cost analysis should be conducted and more detailed study is necessary to validate this summary. Therefore, the application of comprehensive technology evaluation, which considers LCC analysis, should contribute in obtaining objectivity and enhancing reliability for the 'Evaluation of Livestock Manure Treatment System and its Technology'.

Approximately 25% of military establishments became superannuated to unable perform their function, and it influences on the environment by construction wastes and the waste of national budget, as there is no rational and objective standard even though old facilities have been replaced through modernization project. Therefore, it has been searched to introduce industrial building system that can cope with the new building-construction and transference for the improvement of existing military establishments. However, as there is no economical estimation standard for practical use, industrial building-construction is still remaining at the initial stage, and the study is insufficient too. So. in this study, I would like to develope LCC cost model for rational LCC comparative analysis between industrial construction system (Modular) and existing reinforced concrete structure and cage, and to evaluate economical efficiency through case analysis.
