Safety Risk Assessment of Highway Bridge Construction Based on Cloud Entropy Power Method

Abstract

(1) In recent years, with China’s increasing investment in the transportation industry, the construction of highways and bridges has flourished, bringing great convenience to people’s lives. At the same time, there are many uncertain factors in the process of bridge construction, being prone to construction risks. In order to meet the requirements of sustainable development, it is necessary to accurately evaluate the safety risk level of bridge construction. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a new scientific safety risk evaluation system for highway bridge construction. (2) Methods. Based on the relevant standards and specifications, this paper establishes a highway bridge construction safety risk evaluation index system, and then uses the cloud entropy weight method to objectively weight each risk index, using cloud model theory to conduct a risk assessment, and through the cloud model images directly determine the overall risk level of bridge construction, and the level of risk indicators. (3) Results. Applying this method to the construction safety risk assessment of a particular bridge, the overall construction risk level of the bridge is obtained as “level 4”, and the risk levels of the four first-level indicators are also all “level 4”. (4) Conclusions. The cloud entropy weight method proposed in this paper and the traditional AHP-Extenics method are applied to a bridge construction safety risk evaluation, and the evaluation results obtained are consistent. However, this paper uses the cloud model to improve the entropy weight method in order to calculate the weights, which fully reflects the objectivity of the assignment. The cloud model is used for evaluation, and the risk level of indicators can be determined visually with images.

Fire Safety Resilience Assessment of Residential Self-Built Houses according to the TOPSIS Method

“…The entropy weight method (EWM) was adopted in the objective part. The basic principle of EWM is to determine the weight of each index based on the size of target information contained in each index [21]. Finally, subjective and objective preference coefficients were introduced to obtain the comprehensive index weight of fire safety resilience of residential self-built houses [22].…”

Research on programmatic multi-attribute decision-making problem: An example of bridge pile foundation project in karst area

“…Ji et al [ 10 ] based on the Yinzhou Lake Bridge project, identified sources of risk within divisional work and conducted risk prioritization. Li et al [ 11 ] constructed evaluation models to assess the construction safety risks of highway bridges. Jin et al [ 12 ] conducted an evaluation of grouting effectiveness in karst areas, considering the construction technology, apparent parameters, observational data from inspection holes and geophysical exploration techniques.…”

“…The method showed satisfactory results in various performance indicators such as flood delay, energy efficiency and throughput. Li et al 22 established a risk assessment index system for safety in the operational phase of highway bridges. They then used cloud entropy weighting to objectively weigh various risk indicators and applied cloud model theory to risk assessment, emphasizing the objectivity of the assigned values.…”
