Developing A Mathematical Model for Planning Repetitive Construction Projects By Using Support Vector Machine Technique
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Each project management system aims to complete the project within its identified objectives: budget, time, and quality. It is achieving the project within the defined deadline that required careful scheduling, that be attained early. Due to the nature of unique repetitive construction projects, time contingency and project uncertainty are necessary for accurate scheduling. It should be integrated and flexible to accommodate the changes without adversely affecting the construction project’s total completion time. Repetitive planning and scheduling methods are more effective and essential. However, they need continuous development because of the evolution of execution methods, essentially based on the repetitive construction projects’ composition of identical production units. This study develops a mathematical model to forecast repetitive construction projects using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique. The software (WEKA 3.9.1©2016) has been used in the process of developing the mathematical model. The number of factors affecting the planning and scheduling of the repetitive projects has been identified through a questionnaire that analyzed its results using SPSS V22 software. Three accuracy measurements, correlation coefficient (R), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE), were used to check the mathematical model and to compare the actual values with predicted values. The results showed that the SVM technique was more precise than those calculated by the conventional methods and was found the best generalization with R 97 %, MAE 3.6 %, and RMSE 7 %.</p>

           Satire is genre of the literary arts that has always been the source of human interest. Because  it is difficult to accept direct criticism, Satire appears as a literary tool in which vices, follies, abuses and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement. A satirical critic usually employs irony to attain this goal. Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often profitable social criticism, using wit to draw at

In this manuscript, the effect of substituting strontium with barium on the structural properties of Tl0.8Ni0.2Sr2-xBrxCa2Cu3O9-δcompound with x= 0, 0.2, 0.4, have been studied. Samples were prepared using solid state reaction technique, suitable oxides alternatives of Pb2O3, CaO, BaO and CuO with 99.99% purity as raw materials and then mixed. They were prepared in the form of discs with a diameter of 1.5 cm and a thickness of (0.2-0.3) cm under pressures 7 tons / cm2, and the samples were sintered at a constant temperature o
