“…Risk assessment: Andrić and Lu (2016) assessed the disaster risk faced by bridge construction for reducing or preventing the adverse consequences of disasters, and the risk factors include terrorist attacks, fire, construction and design, deterioration, overloading, collision, age, soil, ice, scour, debris, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes. El Chanati et al (2016) assessed the use risk of water pipelines to minimize health and safety hazards and ensure adequate water supply, and the assessment criteria include breakage rate, pressure coefficient, soil type, ground water level, surface location, installation quality, size, material, and age. Javadi et al (2017) selected the most important hazards in underground longwall mining to reduce the risk of hazardous consequences of this mining activity, and the considered criteria include consequence, vulnerability, detectability, and reaction.…”

A variety of fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) models have been proposed to solve complicated decision-making problems. Many applications have been achieved, especially in the field of civil engineering. To analyze the developments about the fuzzy MCDM methods and their applications in civil engineering in recent years and further explore the future research directions, this study conducts a state of the art survey in which 52 journal papers focusing on the applications of fuzzy MCDM models in civil engineering from 2016 to 2020 are reviewed. We respectively classify these articles according to research problems and research methods. Through the literature review, we get findings in terms of the most concerned decision-making problem, the most widely-used evaluation criterion and the most popular fuzzy MCDM model. Furthermore, we present four aspects of research challenges and corresponding future research directions in the field of civil engineering, which may be helpful for researchers and practitioners to further investigate.

“…Finally, these models were validated using the average validity percent and they yielded robust results. El-Chanati et al (2015) evaluated the performance index of water networks using AHP, fuzzy AHP (FAHP), ANP, and FANP methods. The results revealed that the FANP was the most accurate MCDM technique since it accounted for interdependency and uncertainty.…”

Water pipelines are exposed to severe aging and deterioration challenges. The weights of importance of deterioration factors shall be estimated to predict the condition of underground water pipelines. Analytic network process (ANP) is one of the most common multiple criteria decision making techniques. The fuzzy set theory has been employed to tackle the vagueness and imprecision in human judgments. Accordingly, the overarching aim of this research is computing the weights of importance of these factors using fuzzy ANP (FANP). Chang's extent analysis method is one of the most frequently used algorithms in FANP. For group decision making, two aggregation approaches are considered, namely geometric mean (GEO) and minimum-maximum (MIN-MAX). The performance of the modified extent analysis method is evaluated against the original method using four evaluation measures. These measures are satisfactory index, group minimum violations, group Euclidean distance, and distance between weights. Most of the evaluation measures indicate that the modified extent analysis (MIN-MAX) method exhibits better results than other methods. A water distribution network in Shaker Al-Bahery, Egypt is used to demonstrate the application of the proposed model.

“…At present, urban water-supply network in China still has some problems, such as the leakage of pipe, blasting rate being higher and pipeline corrosion, aging and serious dirt, making water produce secondary pollution. El Chanati et al (2016) and Liu et al (2017) the problem cause water quality reduces, water energy consumption increase, seriously affect the economic benefits of water-supply enterprises and water security of users. In view of the city WSP network construction being not perfect and exiting some problems, in the future city pipe network transformation process, the selection of WSP should be paid more attention to reliable quality, reasonable economic indicators, in order to reduce the operating cost, save investment, ensure water-supply safely and efficiently.…”

The major problem of pipes used in Water Supply System (WSSs) were analyzed and the generally, used pipe and their major features were introduced in this study. The principles that the selection on Water Supply Pipes (WSP) should follow were pointed out. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) using nine scaling was applied to optimize WSPs quantitatively. The optimal WSPs were determined according to the sorting result of comprehensive evaluation index. It could provide the reference to select the reasonable WSPs for the engineers.
