Analysis on Dynamic Evolution of the Cost Risk of Prefabricated Building Based on DBN

Abstract

Prefabricated building constitutes the development trend of the construction industry in the future. However, many uncertainties in the construction process will surely lead to a higher cost. Therefore, it is necessary to study the cost risk evolution and transfer mechanism in the implementation process of this project. A dynamic evolution model for the cost risk of prefabricated buildings has been established in this paper. First of all, a matrix for cost risk of prefabricated buildings was established based on the WSR (Wuli-Shili-Renli) model, and all risk factors in the implementation stage were classified in accordance with the WSR principle. Second, a DBN-based dynamic evolution model was established based on the risk matrix, and the structure and node parameters of the Dynamic Bayesian Network were determined with the aid of the K2 structure learning algorithm and parameter learning method. In view of the probability change process of risks over time, the dynamic evolution path of risks was predicted in different cases through causal reasoning and diagnostic reasoning. Eventually, the model was applied into construction projects. The research results show that: because prefabricated components need to be made by prefabricated component factories, the management systems of prefabricated component factories are usually not perfect, and the probability of management risks is higher. The occurrence of management risks not only has an impact on other risks at the current time node, but also causes other risks to occur in the subsequent transportation and construction phases at the next moment, which eventually leads to the occurrence of risk events.

Analysis of network public opinion on COVID-19 epidemic based on the WSR theory

“…Due to its systematic characteristics, it is particularly prominent in the field of risk research, which needs multi-agent collaboration. For example, the WSR framework is used for risk control in the area of nuclear security (40), cost risks in the field of construction (41), and security risks in the field of enterprise management and control (42). However, it is rarely used in the area of public health network opinion, and there are many topics involved in this area.…”

Data-Driven Dynamic Bayesian Network Model for Safety Resilience Evaluation of Prefabricated Building Construction

“…(2) Quantification of safety levels in prefabricated building construction. Firstly, through theories such as accident causation theory, WBS-RBS matrix analysis [25], or WSR methodology [26], risk factors in prefabricated building construction have been identified from five aspects: personnel, machinery, regulations, environment, and management, and an evaluation index system has been established. Weighting methods such as the analytical hierarchy process [27], entropy weighting method [28], and integrated weighting method were used to assign weights to the evaluation criteria.…”

Developing a risk framework for assembly construction based on stakeholder theory and structural equation modelling

“…Li et al combined SEM and system dynamics modeling (SDM) to develop a quality risk model [ 22 ]. Ye et al developed a cost-risk matrix for AC based on the WSR (Wuli-Shili-Renli) model [ 23 ]. A systematic analysis of AC project risks in the EPC model from the perspective of a general contractor was carried out by Xia et al [ 24 ].…”
