The effectiveness of tuned mass dampers (TMDs) in reducing the seismic response of civil structures is still a debated issue. The few studies regarding TMDs on inelastic structures indicate that they would perform well under moderate earthquake loading, when the structure remains linear or weakly nonlinear, while tending to fail under severe ground shaking, when the structure experiences strong nonlinearities. TMD seismic efficiency should be therefore rationally assessed by considering to which extent moderate and severe earthquakes respectively contribute to the expected cost of damages and losses over the lifespan of the structure. In this paper, a method for evaluating, in a life-cycle cost (LCC) perspective, the seismic effectiveness of TMDs on inelastic building structures is presented and exemplified on the SAC LA 9-storey steel moment-resisting frame benchmark building. Results show that the LCC concept may provide an appropriate alternative to traditional performance criteria for the evaluation of the effectiveness of TMDs and that TMD installation on typical existing middle-rise buildings in high seismic hazard regions may significantly reduce building lifetime cost despite the poor control performance observed under the most severe seismic events.

Ground source heat pump systems (GSHP) can achieve higher performance of the system, by supplying more efficient heat source to the heat pump, than the conventional air-source heat pump system. But building clients and designers have hesitated to use GSHP systems, due to expensive initial cost, and uncertain economic feasibility. In order to reduce the initial cost, many researches have focused on the energy-pile system, using the structure of the building as a heat exchanger. Even though several experimental studies for the energy-pile system have been conducted, there was not enough data of quantitative evaluation with economic analysis and comprehensive analysis for the energy-pile. In this study, a prediction method has been developed for the energy pile system with barrette pile, using the ground heat transfer model and ground heat exchanger model. Moreover, a feasibility study for the energy pile system with barrette pile was conducted, by performance analysis and LCC assessment. As a result, it was found that the heat exchange rate of a barrette pile was 2.55 kW, and the payback period using LCC analysis was 8.8 years.

본 연구에서는 UDPSC(Up-Down Precast Concrete) 교량을 유지관리하는데 발생되는 비용인 유지관리 비용의 산출 방법에 대하여 제안하였다. 신공법을 이용한 교량인 UDPSC 교량의 시공실적은 2000년도 이후 공사가 완료된 교량만 109건에 이르며, 2006년 현재 37건의 공사가 진행중에 있고 설계납품도 194건에 이른다. 이러한 시공실적에도 불구하고 신공법의 교량이라는 이유로 사용기간이 길지 않아 유지관리비에 대한 실적 데이터의 축적이 이루어지지 않았다. 때문에 건설교통부의 유지관리비 산출지침과 선행연구 분석을 통해 교량의 주요자재별 내구연한을 판단하여 유지관리비를 산출하는 방법을 제안하였으며, 실제로 시공된 교량을 토대로 유지관리비용을 산출하였다.

Generally, the term "energy saving is economical" is appropriate for the national view point and for design and assessment of one system, but not appropriate when choosing the system by comparing alternative systems in the early design step. Sometimes, non-energy saving system is more economical than energy saving system because of the price of electricity, gas or oil, which are used for operating the air conditioning system. Therefore, when designing the system, we should consider the efficient alternatives through economic assessment of energy saving method. However, research on non-operating number control of the system is not sufficient because it is more common to use operating number control of the system for most economic assessment of air conditioning system. For this reason, this research can provide the economics through operating number control as basic design data. The data obtained through assesment of Life Cycle Cost based on amount of yearly energy use, were produced by system simulation of HASP/ACLD/8501 and HASP/ACSS/8502 for six alternative heating/cooling systems based on constant air volume conditioning system, which is widely used for medium and large office buildings in Busan.

Busan subway transportation system has been established a key role in the society last 20 years. However many people are suffering from hot and humid environment at subway station and platform due to deteriorated ventilation system as well as insufficient air conditioning system in existing stations and platforms. As a result, these systems require revitalization. There is about 5400tons of low temperature underground water is generated from subway stations every day. By using this method and air washer we are trying to lower the temperature. Air washer is commonly used for removing humidity but in this experiment it will be used as air precooling. This research offers result of experiment using air washer system to lower the temperature in large spaces like subway station. The experiment result has shown when L/G was the same, at condition which water spray temperature at $18^{\circ}C$ resulting inlet and outlet temperature difference larger. Also, in the same water spray temperature conditions, larger L/G condition showed a greater temperature difference. LCC evaluation of both system were shown that air washer system of using underground water will save 53% of the initial cost than refrigeration system, and save 75% of operating cost.

In this study, a hydrate inhibition system is investigated for shallow water gas fields. Mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) injection has been used as a typical method for inhibiting hydrate formation in gas fields; therefore, most offshore platforms are equipped with MEG injection and regeneration processes. A recent application of a kinetic hydrate inhibitor (KHI) has reduced the total volume of MEG injection and hence reduce the operating cost. Experiments are designed and performed to evaluate and verify the KHI performance for inhibiting hydrate formation under shallow water conditions. However, the shut-in and restart operation may require the injection and regeneration of MEG. For this operation, the MEG concentration must be optimized while considering the cost of MEG regeneration. The obtained results suggest that decreasing MEG concentration from 80 wt% to 70 wt% can reduce the life cycle cost (LCC) of MEG regeneration process by approximately 5.98 million USD owing to reduced distillation column cost. These results suggest that the hydrate inhibition system must be evaluated through well-designed experiments and process simulations involving LCC analysis.

A lithium polymer battery-based 9 kJ/s high-voltage capacitor charger, which comprises two stages, is proposed. A modified LCC resonant converter and resonant circuit are introduced at the first and second stages, respectively. In the first stage, the methods for handling low-voltage and high-current batteries are considered. Delta-wye three-phase transformers are used to generate a high output voltage through the difference between the phase and line-to-line voltages. Another method is placing the series resonant capacitor of the LCC resonant components on the transformer secondary side, which conducts considerably low current compared with the transformer primary side. On the basis of the stable operation of the first charging stage, the secondary charging stage generates final output voltage by using the resonance. This additional stage protects the rectifying diodes from the negative voltage when the output capacitor is discharged for a short time. The inductance and capacitance of the resonance components are selected by considering the resonance charging time. The design procedure for each stage with the aforementioned features is suggested, and its performance is verified by not only simulation but also experimental results.

본 연구에서는 경제적인 창호공사 방안을 확인하기 위해 단열필름이 시공된 창호유리와 일반유리의 생애주기비용을 분석하여 비교하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 Window 6.3과 ECO2-OD 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 사용하여 유리 유형별 창호의 열성능 데이터를 측정하고 사례 건물에 적용하여 냉 난방 유지비용 및 LCC를 산출하여 경제성을 비교하였다. 연구결과 단열필름을 추가적으로 시공함으로써, 냉 난방 유지비용 측면에서는 하절기 태양열이 실내로 투과하는 것을 막아 냉방비용 절감 효과가 있지만, 이로 인해 동절기에는 난방비용이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 생애주기비용 측면에서 볼 때, 냉방비용 절감 효과가 난방비용 증가량과 필름 시공 및 수선으로 발생하는 추가비용을 상쇄하지 못하기 때문에 단열필름의 시공은 적절한 방법이 아니라고 할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the transport characteristics of passage cultured l1uman nasal epithelial cell monolayers grown on Transwell@ inserts using liquid-covered culture (LCC) method. The monolayer of passage 2 and 3 exhibited tight barrier (TEER>1,000 ohmxcm$^2$) in 2-3 days after seeding. In the morphological studies by actin staining and SEM/TEM, the existence of tight junction was clearly observed. (omitted)
