Weight Analysis of Accident Factors in Deep Foundation Excavation Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process

Abstract

For the past few years, great development has been achieved in deep foundation excavation. However, due to foundation excavation’s locality, individual diversity, complexity and uncertainty, the probability of accidents in foundation pit engineering tends to be greater than that in main works, and the accident rate may even reach about 20%, which makes the study on factors leading to foundation excavation accidents quite necessary and meaningful. By use of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), this paper has figured out the ratio (weight) of the investigation, design, construction and other factors leading to foundation excavation accidents to the whole factor set, which is of great guiding significance to the study on prevention and treatment of foundation excavation accidents in future.
