Applying a new systematic fuzzy FMEA technique for risk management in light steel frame systems

Abstract

Light Steel Frame (LSF) system is mainly used for construction of short and intermediate-height buildings in developed countries whereas considerable heed is not given to it in developing countries. Unfamiliarity to LSF risks is one of the main reasons for this averseness so risk management can remedy this challenge and develop its application. Hence, this paper investigates the risk management of LSF considering design, construction and operation phase. Three steps entailing risk identification, assessment and responding using fuzzy Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) technique are suggested for risk management implementation and validation of responses, a novel index with respect to weighted combination of project quality, time and cost is calculated. The methodology is demonstrated on a pilot study in a developing country. By using interview, 29 significant risks are extracted in design, construction and operation and then evaluated by proposed fuzzy method. Results showed that the share of the risks in these steps are 21%, 31% and 48% respectively. The results revealed that the risks in the construction and operation phases are higher than those in the design phase. The results also show that involving safety as a project object in the risk management process could eventuate acceptable results.

The Role Of Smart Transport In Urban Planning And The Transition From Traditional To Smart Cities In Developing Countries With Sustainability Requirements

“…Classical optimization models emphasize the presence of a criterion (or objective function), so the model may be linear, nonlinear, or mixed. In recent decades, however, researchers have focused on multi-criteria models for evaluating complex decisions [36][37].…”

“…1) Drawing a hierarchical tree,2) Formulating and determining priorities, 3) Logical consistency of judgments [35][36][37][38][39]. Hierarchical process analysis is widely used in solving many complex decision-making problems.…”

Produtividade em edificações com o Sistema Light Steel Frame

“…Como destaca [4], o sistema LSF emerge como uma alternativa notável para a realização de edificações de forma racionalizada e sustentável. Sua natureza altamente industrializada resulta em considerável redução de desperdício de materiais durante a execução, contribuindo para uma abordagem mais sustentável.…”

Functional Evaluation Using Fuzzy FMEA for a Non-Invasive Measurer for Methane and Carbone Dioxide

“…As mentioned by [2,13], combining the FMEA method with fuzzy theory provides a more efficient tool than the classic FMEA method in the presence of imprecise information and uncertainty. Fuzzy Logic could be used to reduce the drawback in assessing and prioritizing failures of traditional FMEA with more certainty.…”
