The term "constructability" in regard to cast-in-place concrete construction refers mainly to the ease of reinforcing steel placement. Bar congestion complicates steel placement, hinders concrete placement and as a result leads to improper consolidation of concrete around bars affecting the integrity of the structure. In this paper, a multi-objective approach, based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is developed for optimal design of reinforced concrete cantilever retaining walls, considering minimization of the economic cost and reinforcing bar congestion as the objective functions. The structural model to be optimized involves 35 design variables, which define the geometry, the type of concrete grades, and the reinforcement used. The seismic response of the retaining walls is investigated using the well-known Mononobe-Okabe analysis method to define the dynamic lateral earth pressure. The results obtained from numerical application of the proposed framework demonstrate its capabilities in solving the present multi-objective optimization problem.

Han-ok (the Korean traditional house) is famous for its beauty and healthful aspects. However, its construction cost is too high because of the manual process of parts such as rafter, timber, etc. These days, many people want to build a modernized Korean traditional house at a low cost. In order to do so, the rafter machining process is required to be automatized using a CNC machine. It is also observed that, generally the timber does not have a uniform shape. Therefore, it is also needed to examine the timber shape before starting its processing. This paper presents the concept design of the rafter processing CNC machine, and a 3D laser scanning system. The laser scanner is developed to acquire 3D details of the timber shape. Furthermore, the results of simulated experiments are presented to investigate surface roughness during the machining process of the timber. Since cutting parameters largely influence on surface roughness and cusps formation, it is needed to achieve optimal machining parameters. Several experiments were carried out changing cutting parameters such as cutting tool diameter, feed-rate, and spindle speed.

본 논문에서는 암반 분류를 위해 물리탐사 결과나 그동안 축적된 시공경험 등의 정성적 자료의 사용을 고려하였다. 터널 설계를 위한 요소(parameter)들이 공간적 상관관계를 갖기 때문에 지구 통계학(Geostatistics)을 이용하였으며, 특히, 비모수적 (non-parametric)방법 중의 하나인 지시 크리깅(indicator kriging) 기법을 사용했다. 최적 분류를 위한 선택 기준으로는 오차에 대응하는 비용(the cost of errors)을 사용했으며, 암반분류는 이분적 분류에 한정하였다. 앞으로, 정량적 데이타가 절대적으로 부족한 터널공사등에서 비교적 많은 양이 존재하는 정성적 데이타의 이용은 절실하며, 이러한 점에서 본 연구가 가지는 의미는 크다.

This paper presents an economic assessment of large-scale Li-ion battery energy storage systems applied to Korean power system. There are many applications of the battery energy storage systems (BESSs) and they can provide various benefits to power systems. We consider BESSs to the energy time-shift application to Korean power system and evaluate the benefits from the application of BESS in the social perspective. The mixed integer programming (MIP) algorithm is used to resolve the optimal operation schedule of the BESS. The social benefits can include the savings of the fuel cost from generating units, deferral effects of the generation capacity, delay of transmission and distribution infra construction, and incremental CO2 emission cost impacts, etc. The economic evaluation of the BESS is separately applied into Korean power systems of the Main-land and Jeju island to reflect the differences of the load and generation patterns.

Ground source heat pump(GSHP) system is one of the high efficiency heat source systems which utilizes the constant geothermal energy of a underground water or soil. However, the design of conventional GSHP system in the domestic market is dependent on the experience of the designer and the installer, and it causes increase of initial installation cost or degradation of system performance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a guideline and the optimal design method to maintain stable performance of the system and reduce installation cost. In this study, in order to optimize the GSHP system, design factors according to ground heat exchanger(GHX) type have been examine by simulation tool. Furthermore, the design factors and the correlation of a single U-tube and a double U-tube were analyzed quantitatively through sensitivity analysis. Results indicated that, the length of the ground heat exchanger was greatly influenced by grout thermal conductivity for single U-tube and pipe spacing for double U-tube.

In offshore installations, fires cause the structure to lose its rigidity and it leads to structural integrity and stability problems. The Passive Fire Protection (PFP) system slows the transfer rate of fire heat and helps prevent the collapse of structures and fatality. Especially, intumescent epoxy coating is widely used in the offshore industry, and not only is the material cost expensive, but it also takes a lot of time and cost for construction. Several studies have been conducted on the efficient application and optimal design of the PFP system. However, the mechanical properties and the strength of the PFP material have not been considered. In addition, researches on the correlation between the thickness of PFP and the structural behavior were insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the thermal and mechanical effects of the PFP on the structure when it is applied to the structural member. In particular, it is intended to resolve the change in strength characteristics of the structural members as the thickness of the PFP increases.

In power system research fields, one of current key issues is the construction and commercialization of micro grid site which is called green island, carbon zero island, energy independent island, building micro grid, etc. and various affiliated technologies have been being vigorously developed to realize. In addition, various researches about electric vehicles (EVs) are in progress and it is expected to penetrate rapidly with the next a few years. Some new load models should be developed integrating with electric vehicle loads because the EVs' deployment could cause the change of load composition rate on power system planning and operations. EVs are also resources for micro grid as well as distributed generation and demand response so that various supply and demand side resources should be considered for micro grid researches. In this paper, the load composition rate of residential sectors is prospected considering the deployment of EVs and the resource configuration of micro grid is optimized based on net present cost. In the optimization, the load patten of case studies includes EV's charging characteristics and various cases are simulated comparing micro grid environment and normal condition. HOMER is used to compare various cases and economic effects.

Composite material-due to low density-causes weight savings, which results in lower fuel consumption of transport vehicles. The aim of the research was to change the existing base-plate of the aluminum airplane container with the composite sandwich plate in order to reduce the weight of the containers of cargo aircrafts. The newly constructed sandwich plate consists of aluminum honeycomb core and composite face-sheets. The face-sheets consist of glass or carbon or hybrid fiber layers. The orientations of the fibers in the face-sheets were 0°, 90° and ±45°. Multi-objective optimization method was elaborated for the newly constructed sandwich plates. Based on the design aim, the importance of the objective functions (weight and cost of sandwich plates) was the same (50%). During the optimization nine design constraints were considered: stiffness, deflection, facing stress, core shear stress, skin stress, plate buckling, shear crimping, skin wrinkling, intracell buckling. The design variables were core thickness and number of layers of the face-sheets. During the optimization both the Weighted Normalized Method of the Excel Solver and the Genetic Algorithm Solver of Matlab software were applied. The mechanical properties of composite face-sheets were calculated by Laminator software according to the Classical Lamination Plate Theory and Tsai-Hill failure criteria. The main added-value of the study is that the multi-objective optimization method was elaborated for the newly constructed sandwich structures. It was confirmed that the optimal new composite sandwich construction-due to weight savings and lower fuel consumption of cargo aircrafts - is more advantageous than conventional all-aluminum container.

지속적인 도로 건설에도 불구하고 자동차의 급격한 증가와 주변 택지개발로 인해 고속도로 상습지정체가 나날이 심화되어 교통관리의 필요성과 운전자에 대한 교통정보제공 요구가 크게 부각되고 있다. 고속도로의 상습지정체를 해소하기 위해서는 혼잡의 원인과 유형, 특성에 따라 최적의 혼잡관리기법을 도출하고 사전 시행효과가 검토되어야하나, 기존의 교통분석 프로그램들은 국내 도로 및 교통조건, 교통류특성 등에 대한 반영 및 기 구축된 교통관리시스템(FTMS)과의 연계가 미흡하여, 효율적으로 고속도로 교통분석을 수행하기에는 시간적, 비용적으로 많은 제약이 따른다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고속도로 교통관리시스템의 수집자료에 기반하여 체계적이고 과학적인 혼잡관리방법론을 적용하기 위해 한국형 교통분석 모형 및 프로그램(ExTRAM)을 개발하였다. VISSIM과의 비교결과, 정체에 대한 모사와 대안평가에서 ExTRAM의 결과가 다소 나은 것으로 평가되었다. ExTRAM에 대한 보다 엄밀한 검증을 위해 오산~수원 구간의 15분 집계간격의 평균통행시간(TCS데이터)을 이용한 한 달 동안의 장기간 테스트를 수행한 결과, 평균통행시간 오차가 2.48분이었고, 최대 및 최소 오차가 각각 15.02분 및 0.03분으로 나타나 ExTRAM의 교통분석 결과가 일정 수준의 정확도를 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
