This paper presents development of artificial neural network(ANN) based prediction method for section forces of TBM tunnel segment lining in an effort to develop an automatized design technique. A series of design cases were first developed and subsequently analyzed using the two-ring beam finite element model. The results were then used to form a database for use as training and validation data sets for ANN development. Using the database, optimized ANNs were developed that can readily be used to predict maximum sectional forces and their distributions. It is shown that the compute maximum section forces and their distributions by the developed ANNs are almost identical to the computed by the two-ring beam finite element model, implying that the developed ANNs can be used as design tools which expedite routine design calculation process. The results of this study indicate that the neural network model can be effectively used as a reliable and simple predictive tool for the prediction of segment sectional forces for design.

Solar power generation system is a energy generation technology that produces electricity from solar power, and it is growing fastest among renewable energy technologies. It is of utmost importance that the solar power system supply energy to the load stably. However, due to unstable energy production due to weather and weather conditions, accurate prediction of energy production is needed. In this paper, an Artificial Neural Network(ANN) that predicts solar energy using 15 kinds of meteorological data such as precipitation, long and short wave radiation averages and temperature is implemented and its performance is evaluated. The ANN is constructed by adjusting hidden parameters and parameters such as penalty for preventing overfitting. In order to verify the accuracy and validity of the prediction model, we use Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) as performance indices. The experimental results show that MAPE = 19.54 and MAE = 2155345.10776 when Hidden Layer $Sizes=^{\prime}16{\times}10^{\prime}$.

Recently, as the fine dust level has risen rapidly, there is a great interest. Exposure to fine dust is associated with the development of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and has been reported to increase death rate. In addition, there exist damage to fine dusts continues at industrial sites. However, exposure to fine dust is inevitable in modern life. Therefore, predicting and minimizing exposure to fine dust is the most efficient way to reduce health and industrial damages. Existing fine dust prediction model is estimated as good, normal, poor, and very bad, depending on the concentration range of the fine dust rather than the concentration value. In this paper, we study and implement to predict the PM10 level by applying the Artificial neural network algorithm and the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm, which are machine learning algorithms, using the actual weather and air quality data.

A ground support pattern should be designed by properly integrating various support materials in accordance with the rock mass grade when constructing a tunnel, and a technical decision must be made in this process by professionals with vast construction experiences. However, designing supports at the early stage of tunnel design, such as feasibility study or basic design, may be very challenging due to the short timeline, insufficient budget, and deficiency of field data. Meanwhile, the design of the support pattern can be performed more quickly and reliably by utilizing the machine learning technique and the accumulated design data with the rapid increase in tunnel construction in South Korea. Therefore, in this study, the design data and ground exploration data of 48 road tunnels in South Korea were inspected, and data about 19 items, including eight input items (rock type, resistivity, depth, tunnel length, safety index by tunnel length, safety index by rick index, tunnel type, tunnel area) and 11 output items (rock mass grade, two items for shotcrete, three items for rock bolt, three items for steel support, two items for concrete lining), were collected to automatically determine the rock mass class and the support pattern. Three machine learning models (S1, A1, A2) were developed using two machine learning algorithms (SVR, ANN) and organized data. As a result, the A2 model, which applied different loss functions according to the output data format, showed the best performance. This study confirms the potential of support pattern design using machine learning, and it is expected that it will be able to improve the design model by continuously using the model in the actual design, compensating for its shortcomings, and improving its usability.

Purpose: This study aimed at finding the optimal input variables of the artificial neural network-based predictive model for the optimal controls of the indoor temperature environment. By applying the optimal input variables to the predictive model, the required time for restoring the current indoor temperature during the setback period to the normal setpoint temperature can be more precisely calculated for the cooling season. The precise prediction results will support the advanced operation of the cooling system to condition the indoor temperature comfortably in a more energy-efficient manner. Method: Two major steps employing the numerical computer simulation method were conducted for developing an ANN model and finding the optimal input variables. In the first process, the initial ANN model was intuitively determined to have input neurons that seemed to have a relationship with the output neuron. The second process was conducted for finding the statistical relationship between the initial input variables and output variable. Result: Based on the statistical analysis, the optimal input variables were determined.

This paper describes the procedures developing the algorithm for analyzing signals acquired from the Bridge Weigh-in-Motion (BWIM) system installed in Seohae Bridge as a part of the bridge monitoring system. Through the analysis procedure, information about heavy traffics such as weight, speed, and number of axles are attempted to be extracted from time domain strain data of the BWIM system. One of numerous pattern recognition techniques, artificial neural network (ANN) is employed since it can effectively include dynamic effects, bridge-vehicle interaction, etc. A number of vehicle running experiments with sufficient load cases are executed to acquire training and/or test set of ANN. Extracted traffic information can be utilized for developing quantitative database of loading effect. Also, it can contribute to estimate fatigue lift or current health condition, and design truck can be revised based on the database reflecting recent trend of traffic.

국내 강우발생은 기상학적인 영향으로 인하여 장마기간(6~8월)에 집중되어있으며, 최근에는 기후변화의 영향으로 짧은 시간에 많은 양의 강우가 발생하는 집중호우의 발생빈도가 증가하고 있다. 또한, 시간과 지역에 관계없이 국지성호우의 발생빈도 역시 높아지고 있다. 집중호우와 국지성호우는 짧은 시간에 하천수위를 상승시키므로 홍수로 인한 물적 피해가 크게 발생된다. 국토교통부에서는 그동안 홍수예보에 필수적인 우량, 하천수위 등 기초자료를 확보하기 위해 관측소(500여개) 및 홍수량 측정지점(80여개)을 확대하였으며, 관측된 자료는 모두 전산망에 기록, 보관하고 있다. 또한 한강, 금강, 낙동강, 영산강의 경우 홍수통제소에서 홍수량 예측 계산 등을 통해 홍수 예경보를 실시하고 있다. 하지만 4대강을 제외한 중소하천의 홍수예경보에 대한 정보를 찾아볼 수 없으며, 현재 연구가 진행중이다. 강우-유출모형을 활용하여 중소하천의 강우와 유출의 관계를 해석하는 과정은 다양한 인자를 고려해야하지만 중소하천의 경우 하천단면 등 하천자료가 충분히 구축되어 있지 못하므로 유출량 계산에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 중소하천의 홍수위 예측을 위해 한강의 과거 수위와 현재 수위만을 활용하여 인공신경망(Artificial Neural Network, ANN)의 학습을 진행하였다. 첫 번째로 ANN을 활용하여 한강유역 중 홍수예보지점(잠수교)의 수위변화에 직접적으로 연관이 있는 5개 수위관측소를 선정하였으며, 과거 장마기간(6~8월)관측 자료를 활용하였다. 두 번째로 홍수예보지점(잠수교)과 5개 수위관측소의 과거 관측수위(2009~2014년)를 인공신경망의 학습자료로 활용하여 모델을 훈련시켰으며, 마지막으로 2015년의 관측수위를 이용하여 ANN의 학습정확도에 대한 검증을 하였다. 본 과정은 수위예측을 위한 ANN의 훈련단계로 Training/Test를 반복하였으며, 학습결과와 2015년 관측수위 비교시 $R^2=0.987$과 상관계수 r=0.994로 유사한 패턴을 보였으나 최대치와 최소치에 대한 오차가 있음을 확인하였다.
