Analytical Hierarchy Process Based Post-Earthquake Health Diagnosis Method for Tunnel in South of China

Abstract:

In order to evaluate the health condition of the tunnel in South China and give advices on reinforcement and maintenance scheme, a post-earthquake health diagnosis method is presented. After a comprehensive investigation on failure modes of tunnel, a four-level ranking method and a index system for post-earthquake health diagnosis of highway tunnel are proposed. Besides, analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is introduced into for determining the post-earthquake health diagnosis mode. Case study manifests the validity of the proposed method, which can provide valuable guide to the post-earthquake health diagnosis and relief work.
