Deep excavation operations of building foundations often cause construction accidents that bring about substantial fatalities or injuries of workers, competition delay and cost overrun, thus safety is a primary consideration in selecting an appropriate construction alternative among the deep foundation excavation methods. Although safety is the most important criteria, other important decision criteria such as cost, duration, and quality of the construction task also need to be considered in the process of selecting an optimal excavation method. To effectively avoid or reduce failure risk, the primary task is to accurately plan and determine the most appropriate deep excavation method for the associated site environment. However, the process for determining the most suitable alternative contains a great deal of complexity and uncertainty due to numerous decision factors or criteria, so that it is difficult to correctly make a right decision. This paper presents a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (Fuzzy AHP) which can be used to systematize the complex evaluation process so as to assist project planners towards an accurate method decision. This model is capable of dealing with uncertainties regarding the varied degrees of believe (α value) and analyzing relative weights among criteria from questionnaires. Finally, a case study for selecting the most suitable alternative among the most commonly used deep excavation methods including Slurry-wall method, Sheet pile method, Boring piles method and Guide pile method in Kaohsiung area, is presented to illustrate the procedure of this model, and to demonstrate its accuracy and effectiveness by comparing the results of the model with those of Buckley’s FAHP. The comparison results validate the accuracy and effectiveness of the model. |
