본 연구에서는 내수침수 저감을 위하여 효율적(effective)인 우수저류조 설치에 따른 침수저감효과 극대화 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 여기서 효율성(effectiveness)은 침수저감량의 극대화 측면과 비용의 최소화 측면 두 가지로 구분된다. 최적 방재 시설물의 설치는 단순 설치비용 대비 저감량이 가장 큰 안을 제시하는 것은 의미가 없으며 일정 기준 이상의 방재성능을 발휘하면서 주어진 예산안에서 최적안을 찾아야 하므로 비용의 최소화 측면과 침수 저감량, 즉 맨홀에서의 월류 저감량을 최대화 하는 두 가지의 목적을 동시에 달성해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다목적 최적화 알고리즘의 적용을 통하여 우수저류조 최적 설치지점을 선정하는 기법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에 적용한 다목적 최적화 방법으로는 목적함수의 최적해 탐색 효용성 측면에서 우수하다고 평가되고 있는 유전자 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 다목적 최적화의 경우 해의 우열을 판단하기 위한 적합도 함수는 실제 각 목적함수의 적합도 값(real fitness value)이 아닌 해의 상대적인 우열(dominance or non-dominance)에 따라 부여되는 등급(rank)에 의해서 해의 우열이 결정되며 여기서는 Fonseca and Fleming(1993)이 제안한 Ranking method를 적용하여 적합도를 결정하였다. 한편 도시 우수관망의 해석 및 우수저류조 설치에 따른 월류량 분석을 위하여 미 환경청(US Environmental Protection Agency; EPA)에서 제공하고 있는 EPA-SWMM 5.0 engine을 사용하였으며 최적화 알고리즘의 구성을 위하여 Visual C++와 SWMM DLL을 연동하여 사용하였다. 연구 대상유역은 인천 청라지구(3공구)를 대상으로 기법의 적용성을 검토하였으며 저류지 설치에 따른 비용함수는 EPA(2002)에서 제안한 저류지 체적대비 공사비용을 원화로 환산한 후 청라지구의 공시지가를 고려하여 결정하였다. 최적화 기법의 적용 결과 저류지 설치비용에 따라 최대로 월류량을 저감시킬 수 있는 우수저류조 최적 설치위치의 조합(Pareto-front)을 결정할 수 있었다.

Wind tunnel testing technique has been established as a powerful experimental method for predicting wind-induced loads on high-rise buildings. Accurate assessment of the design wind load combinations for tall buildings on the basis of wind tunnel tests is an extremely important and complicated issue. The traditional design practice for determining wind load combinations relies partly on subjective judgments and lacks a systematic and reliable method of evaluating critical load cases. This paper presents a novel optimization-based framework for determining wind tunnel derived load cases for the structural design of wind sensitive tall buildings. The peak factor is used to predict the expected maximum resultant responses from the correlated three-dimensional wind loads measured at each wind angle. An optimized convex hull is further developed to serve as the design envelope in which the peak values of the resultant responses at any azimuth angle are enclosed to represent the critical wind load cases. Furthermore, the appropriate number of load cases used for design purposes can be predicted based on a set of Pareto solutions. One 30-story building example is used to illustrate the effectiveness and practical application of the proposed optimization-based technique for the evaluation of peak resultant wind-induced load cases.

Optimized BMP plans for controlling water quality using the Pareto trade-off surface curve in upper basin of Namgang Dam is proposed. The proposed alternatives consist of BMP installation scenarios in which the reduction efficiency of non-point pollutants is maximized in a given budget. The multi-objective optimization process for determining the optimal alternatives was performed without direct implementation of a watershed model such as SWAT analysis, thereby reducing the time taken. The shortening of the calculation time further enhances the applicability of the multi-objective optimization technique in preparing regional water quality management alternatives. In this study, different types of BMP are applied depending on the land use conditions. Fertilizer input control and vegetative filter strip are considered as alternatives to applying BMP to the field but only control of fertilizer input can be applied to rice paddies. Fertilizer input control and vegetative filter strip can be installed separately or simultaneously in a hydrologic response unit. Finally, 175 BMP application alternatives were developed for the water quality management of the upper river basin of Namgang dam. The proposed application alternative can be displayed on the map, which has the advantage of clearly defining the BMP installation location.

In light of extreme value distribution probability, an improved prediction method of the Recurrence Period Wind Speed (RPWS) is constructed considering wind direction, with the Equivalent Independent Wind Direction Number (EIWDN) introduced as a parameter variable. Firstly, taking the RPWS prediction of Beijing city as an example, the traditional Cook method is used to predict the RPWS of each wind direction based on the measured wind speed data in Beijing area. On basis of the results, the empirical formulae to determine the parameter variables are fitted to construct an improved expression of the non-exceedance probability of the RPWS. In this process, the statistical model of the optimal threshold is established, and thus the independent wind speed samples exceeding the threshold are extracted and fitted to follow the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) model for analysis. In addition, the Extreme Value Type I (EVT I) distribution model is used to predict and analyze the RPWS. To verify its wide applicability, the improved method is further used in cities like Jinan, Nanjing, Wuxi, Shanghai and Shenzhen to predict and analyze the RPWS of each wind direction, and the prediction results are compared against those gained via the traditional Cook method and the whole direction. Results show that the 50-year RPWS results predicted by the improved method are basically consistent with those predicted by the traditional method, and the RPWS prediction values of most wind directions are within the envelope range of the whole wind direction prediction value. Compared with the traditional method, the improved method can readily predict the RPWS under different return periods through empirical formulae, and avoid the repeated operation process and some assumptions in the traditional Cook method, and then improve the efficiency of prediction. In addition, the improved RPWS prediction results corresponding to the GPD model are slightly larger than those of the EVT I distribution model.
