Abstract
Cavite is a highly urbanized province situated near Metro Manila and has the highest population growth rate in the country. Water resource management and water-related risk mitigation is one of the major challenges the province faces. Cañas River Watershed is one of the major river systems in the province which covers major cities and municipalities. Effective streamflow monitoring in this watershed has not been achieved due to the inadequacy of monitoring stations around the province. This study aimed to develop an LSTM model to predict the streamflow in Cañas River Watershed at the Panaysanayan river gauge using the available weather parameters in two weather stations in the province, namely: Sangley Point Synoptic Station and Cavite State University (CvSU) Agrometeorological Station. Using the short-term data dated from 2014 to 2019 obtained from the stations and the river gage, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model successfully predicted the streamflow. Based on the model performance evaluation the values of Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) for the training and test were 0.90-0.91 and 0.87-0.89, respectively which indicates a high predictive accuracy. On the other hand, the Percent Bias (PBIAS) results in training and testing ranges 0.60% -8.04% and 1.92% -8.32%, respectively, which indicates a low bias prediction. The model tends to underestimate values, especially high magnitude flows. The RMSE-to-Standard Deviation Ration (RSR) results in training and testing ranges from 0.30-0.31 and 0.34-0.35, respectively, which indicates a good predictive power. The model results also show a good performance in developing a flow duration curve in the river to determine its dependable flow. The R2-value between the observed and predicted flow at different probability of exceedance is 0.9938. The dependable flow of Cañas River Watershed at Panaysanayan river gauge was 60 liters per second based on the observed flows and 61.12 liters per second based on the predicted flows.

Conference Paper | Published: January 1, 2025

Abstract
The factor evaluation for sustainability implementation in post-disaster reconstruction projects was conducted using artificial neural network (ANN)-based sensitivity analysis. The current study involves the utilization of Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (LMA) for the ANN model development. The findings demonstrated that the governing network structure is 10-3-1 utilizing input parameters (IP) including waste management (Sl), environmental impact management (S2), support of management (S3), construction cost (S4), public health and safety (S5), user security (S6), noise pollution (S7), energy consumption (S8), public services (S9), and recycling (S10). The results revealed that the governing model (GM) has a performance of correlation (R) = 0.99813 and Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 0.00110 and 0.4240/0, respectively. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis (SA) using Garson's algorithm (GA) reveals a trend of the relative value (RV) was observed to be construction cost > public services > support of management > user security > environmental impact management> noise pollution> public health and safety> energy consumption > recycling > waste management wherein the construction cost is the most influential parameter to the sustainability rating in post-disaster reconstruction projects (PDRP). The study shows how well ANN can detect the crucial elements that determine a project's sustainability rating in the post-disaster reconstruction projects.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Delays in bridge construction are crucial problems that slow down the economic development in an area. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was utilized to create a model for predicting the duration delay in bridge construction projects which includes the project amount, length of bank protection, length of bridge approach slope protection, total area of bridge approach, number of item of works, number of foundations, type of foundation, number of girders, type of girder, number of lanes, number of spans, total width, total length, and type of construction as the independent variables (IV). The modeling results showed that the best performing model is the 14–14–1 network with R = 0.99406 and MAPE of 3.524%. By removing each of the parameters, the influence of the independent variables to the duration delay was determined. Using the sensitivity index method, the findings revealed that the ranking of influence of the factors (IF) to the duration delay was observed as LBASP > NS > TW > TC > NIW > LBP > PA > TABA > TL > NG > NF > NL > TG > TF with the length of bridge approach slope protection was seen to be the most influential parameter (MIP) to the duration delay.
