The study investigated an area of sustainable structural design that is often overlooked in practical engineering applications. Specifically, a novel method to simultaneously optimise the cost and embodied carbon performance of steel building structures was explored in this paper. To achieve this, a parametric design model was developed to analyse code compliant structural configurations based on project specific constraints and rigorous testing of various steel beam sections, floor construction typologies (precast or composite) and column layouts that could not be performed manually by engineering practitioners. Detailed objective functions were embedded in the model to compute the cost and life cycle carbon emissions of the different material types used in the structure. Results from a comparative numerical analysis of a real case study illustrated that the proposed optimisation approach could guide structural engineers towards areas of the solution space with realistic design configurations, enabling them to effectively evaluate trade-offs between cost and carbon performance. This significant contribution implied that the optimisation model could reduce the time required for the design and analysis of multiple structural configurations especially during the early stages of a project. Overall, the paper suggested that the deployment of automated design procedures can enhance the quality as well as the efficiency of the optimisation analysis.

Decks, interior beams, edge beams and girders are the parts of a steel floor system. If the deck is optimized without considering beam optimization, finding best result is simple. However, a deck with higher cost may increase the composite action of the beams and decrease the beam cost reducing the total cost. Also different number of floor divisions can improve the total floor cost. Increasing beam capacity by using castellated beams is other efficient method to save the costs. In this study, floor optimization is performed and these three issues are discussed. Floor division number and deck sections are some of the variables. Also for each beam, profile section of the beam, beam cutting depth, cutting angle, spacing between holes and number of filled holes at the ends of castellated beams are other variables. Constraints include the application of stress, stability, deflection and vibration limitations according to the load and resistance factor (LRFD) design. Objective function is the total cost of the floor consisting of the steel profile cost, cutting and welding cost, concrete cost, steel deck cost, shear stud cost and construction costs. Optimization is performed by enhanced colliding body optimization (ECBO), Results show that using castellated beams, selecting a deck with higher price and considering different number of floor divisions can decrease the total cost of the floor.

The BX composite beam is designed to have the same cross-section regardless of the size of the momentum, which is a disadvantage of the existing steel structure. Combination of the H-beam end compressive material and the H-section steel tensile reinforcement according to the moment size in a single span, It is possible to say that it is an excellent synthesis which increases the performance. When underground and overhead structures are constructed, it is possible to reduce the bending, increase lateral stiffness, reduce construction cost, and simplify joints. The seamability of the joining part is a simple steel composite beam because of the decrease of the beam damping at the center of the beam and the use of the end plate of the new end compressing material. In the case of structures with long span structure and high load, it is advantageous to reduce the material cost by designing large steel which is high in price at less than medium steel.

특정 산업의 시장지배력을 측정할 때 일부 생산 투입요소의 시장가격이 존재하지 않을 경우 한계시장비용을 초과한 가격 markup으로 판단한 수치는 현실을 왜곡시킬 수 있다. 투입된 모든 생산요소의 가격들의 함수인 비용함수를 추정하는 데 있어서 총 시장비용에서 이들 투입요소에 대한 지출비용이 누락되면 완전경쟁산업에서의 시장가격이 한계시장비용을 초과하는 상황이 발생한다. 한국 제조업의 경우 원재료의 시장가격이 존재하지 않을 뿐만 아니라 관련 자료의 부족으로 공해저감자본의 가격지수를 산정하는 것이 거의 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 환경규제를 받는 한국 철강산업의 시장지배력에 대한 가격 markup 추정치의 신뢰성을 제고하기 위하여 최적 수준의 원재료와 공해저감자본의 투입량을 전제로 제약비용함수를 도출한 후 공급관계식과 함께 연립방정식으로 추정하였다. 공급가격에 대한 시장지배력 markup의 비율로 측정한 국내 철강산업의 시장지배도는 1982년부터 2001년까지 연평균 0.49로서, 환경규제를 고려하지 않을 경우 약 8% 과대평가되는 것으로 나타났다.

현재 우리나라의 철골공사에서 생산성은 철골부재의 중량으로 되어있다. 그러나 철골공사의 생산성은 부재의 중량보다는 피스 수에 더 많은 영향을 받는다. 이에 따라 새로운 철골공사의 생산지수가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 철골공사의 문제점을 분석하고 문제점을 개선할 수 있는 새로운 생산지수를 개발하고자 한다. 이를 통해 전 과정을 통일된 수치화하고 이 수치를 관리함에 따라 복잡한 관리를 보다 효과적으로 통합관리 할 수 있도록 한다.

이 연구는 강관 보강형 다단 그라우팅공법의 설치 및 절단 시 어려움, 부식에 취약한 문제점 등을 개선하는데 목적이 있으며, 강관 대신에 고강도 유리섬유(fiberglass)를 이용한 FRP(Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic)의 적용성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과는 강관에 비하여 FRP 보강재의 가격이 높긴 하지만 시공성 및 내구성 등에서 우수한 것으로 파악되었다. 그리고 FRP 보강재의 형상에 따른 수치해석 결과에서는 국외에서 상용화 된 판상형 보강재 보다 등각곡선형 보강재가 더 구조적 측면에서 효율적임을 알 수 있었고, 그라우트 복합체에 대한 굴곡강도시험 결과에서는 강관과 FRP 보강재의 지보효과가 유사한 것으로 평가되었다.

Generally ferritic stainless steels are used for parts of exhaust system in commercial vehicle, because they have many advantages as low price and high corrosion resistant compared with austenitic stainless steels. Even though ferritic stainless steels have such various merits, austenitic stainless steels have been used to manufacture multi-layer bellows with complex geometry because of their high ductility. Recently, the mechanical properties of the ferritic stainless steels are getting improved and alternating austenitic stainless steel. In this paper, the possibility of mass production of multi-layer bellows made of ferritic stainless steel like MH1 and 443CT was studied. Tensile test, ridging test and corrosion test were carried out to observe material properties of STS304, MH1 and 443CT. Three types of prototype bellows were made using STS304, MH1 and 443CT stainless steels, and stiffness and fatigue tests were carried out to evaluate performance of the prototype bellows.

Ferritic stainless steel is recently used in high temperature structures because of its good properties of thermal fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and low price. Tensile and low-cycle fatigue (LCF) tests on 429EM stainless steel used in exhaust manifold were performed at several temperatures from room temperature to 80$0^{\circ}C$. Elastic Modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength monotonically decreased when temperature increased. Cyclic hardening occurred considerably during the most part of the fatigue life. Dynamic strain aging was observed in 200~50$0^{\circ}C$, which affects the cyclic hardening behavior. Among the fatigue parameters such as plastic strain amplitude, stress amplitude, and plastic strain energy density (PSED), PSED was a proper fatigue parameter since it maintained at a constant value during LCF deformation even though cyclic hardening occurs considerably. A phenomenological life prediction model using PSED was proposed considering the influence of temperature on fatigue life.
