The paper includes shor example of assessmen of he projec economic efficiency in which economic indicaors are applied in order o evaluae of wo echnology projec varians of bridge objec rehabiliaion. I quanifies and compares he economic resuls of alernaive 1 wih he monolihic presress consrucion and alernaive 2, wih he composie seel - concree bridge. The conribuion reflecs he curren pracice of economic analysis recommended by he Minisry of Transpor, Consrucion and Regional Developmen. Keywords: Economic indicaor; Technological opions; Projec price; Social benefis; Generaing revenues; Qualiy. 1. Inroducion A he beginning, i should be noed ha only he applicaion of economic indicaors CBA mehod is he bes possible for a comprehensive assessmen of he reconsrucion projec effeciveness, namely he rehabiliaion of bridge objecs (RBO). Many echnicians argue ha he effeciveness of he projec can be found also by is echnical soluion, respecively by is echnical characerisics. Such an argumen canno be pracically demonsraed. Moreover, i is non-complex, because i works only wih echnical parameers wihou key economic parameers, such as he acquisiion cos of he projec, operaing coss and social benefis of he projec. 2. Pariculariy of assessed echnological varians Economic evaluaion is always based on a echnical soluion. Acquisiion coss essenially reflec he cos of he echnical complexiy of he projec and, in addiion, in civil engineering also consrucion sie condiions. The echnical soluion is also refleced in social benefis of he projec. Before considering he economic efficiency of he before menioned wo varians of he RBO projec, i is briefly presened he reasons for rehabiliaion, which are: very bad or breakdown sae condiion of he exising bridge objec suppored by exensive diagnosics, dynamic and saic load es of he bridge. The presen bridge srucure performs services over he railway, resor of ČOV and river Kysuca. The projec deals wih he reconsrucion of he bridge. The echnical soluion is designed in wo varians; he varian 1 is characerized as a monolihic consrucion of presressed concree and varian 2 is characerized as a composie seel-concree consrucion. The lengh of upperbridge is m, lengh of he bridge is meers, he bridge span fields: x m, heigh of he bridge max m (in he field no. 6), he bridge area: m 2. Alernaive 1 is a cheaper o compare wih alernaive 2. A he same ime, he alernaive 1 needs more ime for he realizaion han alernaive 2. In he long erm, i can be assumed ha he oal operaing and mainenance coss of he varian 1 will be higher abou 10% compared o varian 2. This assumpion goes ou from he experience of counries ha have rich hisory in consrucion of composie seelconcree bridges. An economic analysis of he projec for boh alernaives needs o be work ou in order o make invesor s decision easy which ype of consrucion is he mos suiable for him.

2 Civil and Environmenal Engineering Vol. 11, Issue 1/2015, Inpus for decision-making process The decision-making process on he effeciveness of each RBO alernaives requires acquisiion coss based on budges of he wo varians of bridge objecs. In he nex sep, i is imporan o quanify social coss using of relevan compuaional model (user and environmenal coss and acciden rae coss). This serves in case if he reconsrucion is no realized or opposie (reduced social coss). Their difference corresponds o he socieal benefis of he bridge reconsrucion. These benefis are reducing each year by he operaing coss of reconsrucion echnology. For he decisionmaking process regarding he effeciveness of reconsrucion, i is sill necessary o know is lifeime, he erms of he projec realizaion and he discoun for he projec. 4. Applicaion of economic indicaors A comprehensive assessmen of he economic efficiency of bridges rehabiliaion projecs, as i was already saed, is only possible by applying various mehods of economic CBA indicaors. Cosbenefi analysis of he projec can be carried ou as an economic (if he projec realizaion will never serve public purposes) or financial (if he building generaes revenues). In our case, i is a projec ha will generae revenue, so we use economic analysis and he following economic indicaors: Economic Payback Period, Economic Ne Presen Value, Economic Inernal Rae of Reurn, Economic Benefi- Cos Raio. 4.1 Theoreical quesions of projec economic analysis The economic Cos Benefi Analysis is, as already menioned, economic mehod, which has he economic indicaors ha allow assessing he economic effecs of he consrucion projec, is rae respecively. In he nex secion of his chaper, here are summarized in he general shape he economic indicaors applied o he needs of he bridges rehabiliaion projecs Economic Payback Period The Economic Payback Period acquisiion coss for RBO can be expressed as he year in which social benefis achieved acquisiion coss of RBO: 0 T RS Tzzc P,( a b) ON (1 0,01. u) PN, (1) where: T ZZC - sar of he year life cycle of echnology RBO, [year], T RS - year of repaymen RBO, [year], = T ZZC o T RS, [years], P,(a-b) - benefis from he implemenaion of he RBO, as he difference beween he higher social coss of sae wihou implemenaion of RBO (a) and lower social coss in sae of realizaion RBO (b), in a year, [ ], ON - RBO acquisiion coss in years, [ ], PN - RBO operaing coss echnology in years [ ], u - discoun [%]. Economic Payback period can be expressed as a ime of repaymen.
