Abstract
This
paper compares the life cycle cost of two commonly used structural
systems for buildings, pre-fabricated steel structure system and
cast-in-situ concrete frame structure system.The case study of the No.2
experimental primary school building,located in Jiyang County,is
presented as an illustrative example.Ten design solutions are proposed
for this case study covering these two structural systems,combining
different types of exterior wall,slab and interior wall systems.A life
cycle cost analysis is performed to evaluate the economic impact among
these design options,including initial cost,construction
cost,maintenance cost,demolition cost and residual value.The results
have shown that the pre-fabricated steel frame structure system has a
significant advantage over the cast-in-situ concrete frame structure
system based on the total life cycle cost.Pre-fabricated steel structure
building is more cost-effective and is more worthy of being promoted
and applied.This
