This study proposes a method to create and combine a superstructure module by parametric modeling, in order to improve the production efficiency of information model for modular steel bridge superstructure that can be used in planning, design and construction phase. Compound classification was performed in order to derive elements to apply the parametric modeling, and according to assembly condition, the classified elements were grouped into 13 types. In addition, three assembly conditions were derived for production of stable superstructure through combination of superstructure module, which is a production unit for modular steel bridge factory. Parameter that reflects assembly condition in compound shape when producing superstructure module through parametric modeling was deducted. Superstructure module compounds were produced according to type and parameter using interface generation based on Building Information Model(BIM) software that was developed in this study. The superstructure module produced reflects information to combine into a superstructure. To verify this, information model based on Industry Foundation Classes(IFC) was built and confirmed the application in production of superstructure by identifying the reflected property information.

ABSTRACT In this paper, a new hybrid modular recurrent TDNN (time-delay neural network)-HMM (hidden Markov model) architecture for speech recognition has been studied. In TDNN, the recognition rate could be increased if the signal window is extended. To obtain this effect in the neural network, a high-level memory generated through a feedback within the first hidden layer of the neural network unit has been used. To increase the ability to deal with the temporal structure of phonemic features, the input layer of the network has been divided into multiple states in time sequence and has feature detector for each states. To expand the network from small recognition task to the full speech recognition system, modular construction method has been also used. Furthermore, the neural network and HMM are integrated by feeding output vectors from the neural network to HMM, and a new parameter smoothing method which can be applied to this hybrid system has been suggested.

Recently, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport presented the '6th Construction Technology Promotion Basic Plan' and 'Smart Construction Revitalization Plan (2022.7.20)'. Off-Site Construction (OSC), which involves construction and production of PC (Precast Concrete) and Modular, etc., has advantages in shortening the construction period, reducing costs, improving quality, reducing construction waste, and reducing safety accidents. However, the construction cost is high compared to the traditional RC construction method, which has hindered its utilization and spread. In this study, OSC utilization was improved. An economic analysis indicator and methodology that can support decision-making in the planning and design stages for multi-unit housing were proposed. The factors used in the economic analysis of OSC (based on the PC method) of apartment houses were reviewed. As for the indicators used in the cost and benefit section, 'Construction Period', 'Disaster Occurrence', 'Waste Generation', and 'Greenhouse gas Emission', which reflect the technical advantages of OSC, were derived. In addition, a scenario analysis was conducted based on actual apartment housing case data for the presented economic analysis indicators and benefit calculation standards. The level of benefit that offsets the difference between the existing RC construction method and the construction cost was reviewed. In future studies, it will be necessary to conduct additional case studies to apply the measurement criteria for detailed indicators and supplement the benefit indicators.

Recently, various types of disasters have been occurring all over the world, and the importance of disaster management system to minimize damage caused by disasters is emerging. In Korea, we have made many policy improvements related to disaster safety, such as the establishment of the National Security Service and the announcement of the National Safety Management Plan and made a lot of effort to secure facilities such as disaster relief hospitals after the Mauna Ocean Resort Gymnasium Collapse and the Sewol-ho incident, However, compared to advanced countries such as the US, Europe, and Japan, there is a shortage of emergency medical center per population, and disaster management systems have not been implemented efficiently due to lack of coordination among various agencies. The purpose of this study is to propose the efficient construction and systematic management of emergency medical facilities required for disaster situations. For this purpose, it is necessary to identify the current status of domestic emergency medical facilities compared to developed countries.

In this study, we compare and analyze the performance of three inventory management policies for raw material inventory management in a Precast Concrete production plant: Fixed Order Quantity Policy (FOQP), Fixed Order Interval Policy (FOIP), and (s, S) Ordering Policy (sSOP). In order to make more realistic conclusion, we developed and utilized the ARENA simulation model, a performance evaluation tool that considers the variance of raw material demand and supply for the entire production process in a PC production plant using multiple raw materials. For the three policies, reorder point, order quantity, target level, and order interval parameters were initialized by using Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model and then optimized through OptQuest. As a result of optimization, inventory management costs were reduced by an average of 97.28% compared to the EOQ model that does not consider the variance of demand and supply. After setting three influencing factors, Project Occurrence Cycle (POC), Raw Material Lead-time (RML), and Unit Stock-out Cost (USC), a performance evaluation was conducted for the three policies. As a result of evaluation, the inventory management costs of FOQP and sSOP, which determine order intervals by considering inventory levels by real-time or daily, were 30.6% and 27.9% lower than FOIP with fixed order intervals respectively. In addition, inventory management costs were affected by RML and USC factors excluding POC, but the differences were 2.17% and 2.09% respectively, which were not large due to the optimization of parameters for responding the variance of raw material demand and supply.
