The Synthetical Evaluation of Tunnel Design Considering its Impact on Environment Based on Fuzzy Probability Method

Abstract:

Depended on the fact that so many plans for tunnel design laid much emphasis on its construction process and its short-term cost while ignored the increasing importance of environment now, this article puts forward a synthetical method contains analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy mathematics to evaluate plans for tunnel design with certain indexes including the volume of earth works, carbon emissions, energy consumption and consumption of materials, all of which were taken from the main procedures of the tunnel constrution. In the synthetical evaluation process, the performance on environment of a construction plan was graded into four levels, after the probabilities of four indexes may have on each level was obtained, often by investigation or experience, the final scores of the designs could be calculated with the fuzzy probability method. Further, the designs could be compared.
