“…24,25 Classically, the costs of the abovementioned item (1) are separated in a coarse way into: (i) material cost, (ii) engineering cost, (iii) manufacturing costs, and (iv) other costs (e.g., costs for transport, quality assurance, special treatments, and purchase of small components). It is not always clear when this distinction is to be made and this separation can be used in a more arbitrary way to facilitate the cost estimation of a particular item.…”

By answering "what is soft computing?" we briefly examine four research projects of soft computing applications at the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK•CEN) from the practical point of view. We draw lessons learned from the examined projects including reactor control, cost estimation, energy policy, and nuclear safeguards. We conclude that soft computing techniques are new computer information processing methods that are complementary to all traditional approaches for real-problem solving and that present great challenges in practice.

“…Over several decades, techniques have been well developed to analyse and estimate the construction costs of buildings (Ostwald , 2001 ;Smith, 1998). The cost parameters of demolition , the reversed process of construction , have not been formulated (Abdullah et aI.…”

With the increasing stock of aging structures, building demolition is becoming a challenging research field from the perspective of management. As the converse of construction , management of demolition puts forward some new management themes or adds some new contents even though the same issues are faced in construction management. This research aims to develop a quantitative approach to estimate the costs of a demolition project. A cost analysis method is presented to systematically break down the cost components involved in the demolition of a structure. Due to the lack of robust research in theory and systematic summary in practice to date, the economic performances of demolition will be studied through a case study, and the majority of parameters are derived from actual experiences in practice. The proposed demolition cost estimation method is applied to the actual form of building elimination (ScenariO 1), and further comparison is carried out with two other elimination methods, which are the newly developed deconstruction (Scenario 2) and mechanical demolition (Scenario 3). Deconstruction is found to be the most profitable in this particular instance, and is closely followed by the actual form .
