Vibration mitigation of cables or hangers is one of the crucial problems for cable supported bridges. Previous research focused on the behaviors of cable with dampers or crossties, which could help engineering community apply these mitigation devices more efficiently. However, less studies are available for hybrid applied cross-ties and dampers, especially lack of both analytical and experimental verifications. This paper studied damping and frequency of two parallel identical cables with a connection cross-tie and an attached damper. The characteristic equation of system was derived based on transfer matrix method. The complex characteristic equation was numerically solved to find the solutions. Effects of non-dimensional spring stiffness and location on the maximum cable damping, the corresponding optimum damper constant and the corresponding frequency of lower vibration mode were further addressed. System with twin small-scale cables with a cross-link and a viscous damper were tested. The damping and frequency from the test were very close to the analytical ones. The two branches of solutions: in-phase modes and the out-of-phase modes, were identified; and the two branches of solutions were different for damping and frequency behaviors.

구조물의 수명관리는 일반적으로 불확실성의 효율적 고려를 위해 신뢰성 이론을 적용한다. 전체 구조시스템의 신뢰성 평가는 구조요소의 신뢰성 평가와 구조시스템의 모델링을 통해 이루어진다. 구조시스템은 신뢰도에 대한 구조요소의 역할과 기여도를 고려하여 모델링 된다. 따라서, 구조시스템의 신뢰도는 구조요소의 모델링과 구조요소의 상관관계에 따라 서로 다른 결과를 제시하게 된다. 최초 구조시스템의 신뢰도 평가와 열화요소를 반영한 구조시스템의 수명 평가를 바탕으로 생애주기 비용 최소화와 관련된 목적함수를 가지는 최적화 과정을 통해 수명관리가 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 구조시스템을 구성하는 구조요소의 상관관계와 더불어 기존의 연구에서 고려된 바 없는 유지보수 간의 상관관계에 따른 수명평가 영향분석을 수행하며, 이를 통해 향후 좀 더 효율적인 수명관리 기법 개발에 활용하고자 한다. 또한, 예방유지보수와 필수유지보수를 모두 고려하며, 유지보수간 독립 상태와 완전상관 상태에 따른 수명 예측 및 최적화 유지보수 계획 수립을 비교 제시한다.

This paper presents a method for stochastic modelling of fatigue crack growth and optimising inspection and maintenance strategy for the structural members of steel bridges. The fatigue crack evolution is considered as a stochastic process with uncertainties, and the Gamma process is adopted to simulate the propagation of fatigue crack in steel bridge members. From the stochastic modelling for fatigue crack growth, the probability of failure caused by fatigue is predicted over the service life of steel bridge members. The remaining fatigue life of steel bridge members is determined by comparing the fatigue crack length with its predetermined threshold. Furthermore, the probability of detection is adopted to consider the uncertainties in detecting fatigue crack by using existing damage detection techniques. A multi-objective optimisation problem is proposed and solved by a genetic algorithm to determine the optimised inspection and maintenance strategy for the fatigue affected steel bridge members. The optimised strategy is achieved by minimizing the life-cycle cost, including the inspection, maintenance and failure costs, and maximizing the service life after necessary intervention. The number of intervention during the service life is also taken into account to investigate the relationship between the service life and the cost for maintenance. The results from numerical examples show that the proposed method can provide a useful approach for cost-effective inspection and maintenance strategy for fatigue affected steel bridges.

교량은 도로나 철도 네트워크를 구성하는 중요한 사회기반시설로 부재의 파손으로 인한 보수, 보강, 교체에 따른 교통통제나 갑작스런 붕괴 등이 발생할 경우 사회경제적으로 커다란 손실과 인명사상을 유발하기 때문에 일정한 안전수준 이상으로 관리되어야 한다. 사용연수의 증가에 따라 열화 손상되거나, 사고, 천재지변 등으로 인해 문제가 발생한 교량의 성능을 회복시키기 위하여 다양한 보강 공법들이 연구되고 있다. 그러나 어떤 공법을 사용하는 것이 합리적인가에 대한 판단기준 없이 의사결정을 수행하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 개략 설계된 여러 보강대안 중 최적 보강공법을 선정하는 문제를 해결하기 위해, 의사결정인자를 도출하고 불확실성을 고려한 정량적 평가 및 의사결정방법을 제안하였으며, 이를 간략한 예제에 적용하여 개발된 모델의 합리성 및 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법론은 불확실성이 존재하는 대안들 가운데 최적의 대안을 선택하는 분야에 응용하여 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

건설공사 표준품셈 기계경비 부분은 1960년대 초 일본 및 미국의 자료를 근간으로 하여 제정된 이후, 극히 부분적으로만 제 ${\cdot}$ 개정되었을 뿐 그 동안의 건설기계와 공법의 발전을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 표준품셈 기계경비 중에서 기계손료의 관리비(금리, 격납보관비, 보험료, 세금)를 조사하였으며 합리적인 관리비 산출을 위해 국내 ${\cdot}$ 외 문헌조사, 건설현장 16개소 실사, 그리고 건설기계장비 임대업체 20개사를 대상으로 설문조사 및 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 수집한 자료와 현행 표준품셈의 관리비 산출에 적용되는 수치들을 비교분석한 결과를 토대로 관리비를 새롭게 정의하였다. 관리비의 구성 면에서 금리, 격납보관비, 보험료와 세금 등을 고려하여 6종건설기계와 일반기계를 구분하였고 현실적인 수치를 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 제시하고 있는 각종 자료 및 수치들은 적정한 공사 예정가격을 산정할 수 있는 기초가 될 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 관련 연구의 토대가 될 수 있으리라 기대한다.

본 논문에서는 강상자형교의 바닥판과 주형에 대한 생애주기비용(Life-Cycle Cost : LCC)를 고려한 최적설계 방법을 제안하였다. 생애주기비용의 최적설계 문제는 초기비용, 유지관리비용 그리고 강도와 처짐 그리고 균열에 대한 파손 기대비용의 최소화 문제로 정식화할 수 있다. 기존의 재래적인 설계방법과의 비교를 동해서 강상자형교의 생애주기비용 최적설계의 우수성을 입증하였다. 또한 수치적인 결과의 고찰을 통하여 LCC에 근거한 최적설계가 여타의 설계방법들보다 좀 더 합리적이고 경제적이며 안전한 설계를 유도하는 것으로 분석되었다.

The demands are increasing for the efficient heating and cooling system and thermal comfort environment because of changes in climate and environment, and deterioration of buildings and facilities can cause education budget to increase. So the study to apply heating and cooling system to university is urgently needed to improve an optimum energy saving system, educational environment and convenience of maintenance. For this reason, we selected a university campus in Seoul then came to understand the current situation and found some problems. We drew alternatives from comparative analysis of them. It selects representative building and carries out economic analysis to evaluate characteristics of energy consumption and economics on each type of heating and cooling system. As a result we drew the optimum system from those processes as previously stated. We studied 3 available systems, absorption chiller, EHP(Electric Heat Pump) and GHP(Gas Engine Heat Pump). According to LCC analysis suppose that the value of EHP is 1, it came out that the value of absorption chiller is 1.5 and the value of GHP is 2.2. This study, suggesting the optimum heating and cooling system, will support educational and research activities furthermore effect to maximize energy efficiency. Ultimately it is expected that it will contribute to make eco-friendly Green Campus.

The today's decision making tasks in globalized business and manufacturing become more complex, and ill-defined, and typically multiaspect or multi-discipline due to many influencing factors. The requirement of obtaining fast and reliable decision solutions further complicates the task. Intelligent decision support system (DSS) currently exhibit wide spread applications in business and manufacturing because of its ability to treat ill-structuredness and vagueness associated with complex decision making problems. For multi-dimensional decision problems, generally an optimum single DSS can be developed. However, with an increasing number of influencing dimensions, increasing number of their factors and relationships, complexity of such a system exponentially grows. As a result, software development and maintenance of an optimum DSS becomes cumbersome and is often practically unfeasible for real situations. This paper presents a technically feasible approximation of an optimum DSS through decreasing its complexity by a modular structure. It consists of multiple DSSs, each of which contains the homogenous knowledge's, decision making tools and possibly expertise's pertaining to a certain decision making dimension. Simple, efficient and practical integration mechanism is introduced for integrating the individual DSSs within the proposed overall DSS architecture.

A water treatment utility in South Korea operates a large system of pressurized hollow fiber membrane (PHFM) modules. The optimal selection of membrane module for the full scale plant was critical issue and carried out using Risk-based Life Cycle Cost (RbLCC) analysis based on the historical data of operation and maintenance. The RbLCC analysis was used in the process of decision-making for replacing aged modules. The initial purchasing cost and the value at risk during operation were considered together. The failure of modules occurs stochastically depending on the physical deterioration with usage over time. The life span of module was used as a factor for the failure of Poisson's probability model, which was used to obtain the probability of failure during the operation. The RbLCC was calculated by combining the initial cost and the value at risk without its warranty term. Additionally, the properties of membrane were considered to select the optimum product. Results showed that the module's life span in the system was ten years (120 month) with safety factor. The optimum product was selected from six candidates membrane for a full scale water treatment facility. This method could be used to make the optimum and rational decision for the operation of membrane water purification facility.
