Energy consumption significantly increased in recent decades, notably at the household level, due to economic development, rising population, and technological advancements. To address this sustainability concern, peer-to-peer energy sharing service (P2PESS) is introduced as a solution to household level energy needs. However, P2PESS has yet to be fully explored in terms of development and adoption. As such, this study attempts to provide an understanding of the adoption intention on artificial intelligence (AI) in P2PESS a developing country. This study is realized by developing an extended adoption intention model analyzed through partial-least squares - structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results show that attitude is the most significant predictor of AI in P2PESS adoption intention. This study also reveals that the trust dimension has the strongest effect on attitude, while attitude toward use has the strongest effect on behavioral intention. Also, this study confirms ease of use and usefulness as critical factors in adoption intention. Meanwhile, AI-anxiety is the least significant predictor in the model. Finally, this study is the first evidence of AI in P2PESS adoption intention from the perspective of household level users.

crucial component of growth in infrastructure is estimating construction costs (CC) for pipelaying projects (PP) related to water distribution networks, which guarantees the effective and long-term provision of safe drinking water to communities. In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple linear regression (MLR) model was developed for predicting construction cost for pipelaying projects. The governing model (GM) has a model structure of 9-20-1 (input-hidden-output) with an R = 0.99992. The findings revealed that the ANN-based network was 13.127 times better than the MLR model, based on its MAPE of 3.214 and 42.194%, for ANN and MLR, respectively. The best network also has the lowest Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) among the simulated network structures indicating that it is the best network. The relative importance (RI) of the independent variables including the length, diameter, material type, hydrotesting works, disinfection works, demolition works, restoration works, duration delay, and liquidated damages were calculated utilizing the Garson’s algorithm (GA). It was seen using GA to compute the relative importance of each parameter that the order of influence is seen as restoration works (RW) > length > demolition works (DeW) > material type (MT) > diameter > disinfection works (DiW) > hydrotesting works (HW) > duration delay (D%) > liquidated damages (LD) wherein the restoration works is the most influential parameter. The findings of the study could be used as a reference for better planning and managing pipelaying project activities.

In recent years, the construction sector in the Philippines has faced significant challenges stemming from various events and occurrences, leading to cost overruns and delays in project timelines. A critical element for every construction undertaking's accomplishment is cost evaluation. Precisely approximating the cost of a project involves thorough consideration of various elements, making it a difficult undertaking to forecast. Several building constructions nowadays produce high cost overrun because of unforeseen change in the project budget that raises the overall project cost such as the complexity of the building system and the organization’s environment. The aim of this paper is to offer a potential prediction for cost estimation, with the goal of minimizing the substantial risk of cost overruns in low- to mid-rise buildings. In this study, the structural elements for low- to mid-rise buildings were utilized from building constructions, such as the number of exterior walls (QEW), type of construction material (TCM), building height (HB), total gross area (TGA), building footprint area (BFA), type of occupancy (TO), number of floors (NF), quantity of shear walls (QSW), and number of columns (NC); an artificial neural network (ANN) model was employed in this research to establish a model for forecasting the total construction cost (TCC). With a correlation value (R) of 0.999890 and a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 0.601%, the modeling results shown that the best model structure was 9-25-1 (input-hidden-output), indicating its effectiveness and efficacy in forecasting the TCC. The impact of each variable employed as an input variable (IV) in the model establishment was seen employing the connection weights (CW) through Garson’s algorithm (GA). The calculation exhibited the order of influence observed as QSW > NC > HB > NF > QEW > TGA > BFA > TO > TCM, wherein the quantity of the shear walls is seen to have the most contribution to the construction cost. Moreover, to check its performance versus other prediction modeling tools, a multiple linear regression (MLR) model was also created and compared to the governing prediction model (GPM). The MAPE of the BP-NN is 7.108 times better than that of the created MLR model.

Wind forces on structures have the potential to cause significant damage. A database involving the distance from the ridge, enclosure classification, surface type, elevation above ground level, wind direction, basic wind speed, presence of wall/surface openings, and effective net wind pressure (ENWP) was created using computation fluid dynamics (CFD). This paper focuses on the development of a model for predicting ENWP using a backpropagation-artificial neural network (BP-ANN). Utilizing the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LMA) and hyperbolic tangent sigmoid function (HTSF) as the model hyperparameters, the study investigated several network structures and the simulations revealed that the 7-20-1 is the best model among the topologies observed in this study. The results showed an R value of 0.99868, MSE and MAPE of 0000749 and 5.036%, respectively. Additionally, the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) was used as another layer of metric to measure the effectiveness of the model. The least was observed in the 7-20-1 network structure indicating that this is the best among the topologies observed in this study. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis (SA) through Garson's Algorithm (GA) was performed to determine the relative contribution (RC) of the input parameters (IP) including the distance from the ridge, enclosure classification, surface type, elevation above ground level, wind direction, basic wind speed, and presence of wall/surface opening to the effective net wind pressure. The findings presented that the basic wind speed is the most significant parameter to the effective net wind pressure value. The results of this study can be utilized in considering appropriate configuration to minimize the effects of wind pressure in structures.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is an innovative material in the construction industry. It is beneficial because of its toughness, and unlike steel, it is not prone to corrosion. Some research studies focus its behavior as a reinforcement in concrete while deriving several equations pertaining to its shear strength capacity. This study used the artificial neural network modeling technique to derive a more accurate solution to predict concrete shear capacity with FRP as reinforcement. Experimental data from previous studies were collected and used to train the model. The parameters considered were compressive strength of concrete, FRP ratio, beam dimensions, and modulus of elasticity. As a result, the model consistently provides a better prediction of the shear capacity of concrete against existing models like ACI 440.1R-03, ACI 440.1R-06, and El-Sayed. Furthermore, the ANN model showed no sign of disarray in predicting every parameter compared to other existing models. According to ACI 440.1R-06, FRP bars largely affect the total shear capacity of concrete. In the model provided by ACI, FRP reinforcement’s axial stiffness accounts linearly to the shear strength capacity of concrete. Since then, the predicted capacity in accordance with the ACI was excessively conservative. With respect to the derived model, axial stiffness offered a variation in the shear capacity. The proposed ANN model can be utilized for the design since the minimum ratio between the actual test result yields to 0.77 which is greater than the strength reduction factor of 0.75. Parametric studies were also conducted to show the effect of the modulus of elasticity of FRP, FRP ratio, and beam dimensions on the shear capacity.

Serious game is one of the pedagogical media capable of transferring knowledge to its players. This game genre requires a support system that adaptively selects the appropriate scenario for players to increase their interest and comfort. Therefore, this study proposed an adaptive scenario selection (ASS) system using a finite state machine based on an artificial neural network (ANN). The game scenario is selected by ASS based on five player preferences, including work, hobbies/interests, origin, group members, and repetition. Furthermore, the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) architecture was used in the scenario selection process for the proposed ANN method. The experimental stage was carried out using the theme of travel in several tourism destinations in Batu City, East Java, Indonesia. The experimental results show that ASS succeeded in generating adaptive game scenario choices for players based on their preference data with an accuracy of 67.25%.
