Summary
This study introduces a dynamic safety risk evaluation system for Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) construction, incorporating variable weights and attribute interval theory to manage uncertainties and improve risk assessment accuracy.
Area of Science:
- Civil Engineering
- Risk Management
- Tunneling Technology
Background:
- Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) construction presents complex safety challenges.
- Existing safety risk evaluations often fail to capture the dynamic nature of these risks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive, dynamic safety risk evaluation index system for TBM tunnel construction.
- To address uncertainties inherent in TBM construction risk assessment.
Main Methods:
- Identification and analysis of safety risks specific to TBM tunneling.
- Application of variable weight theory to account for time-varying indicator importance.
- Development of a safety risk evaluation model based on attribute interval recognition theory.
Main Results:
- A TBM tunnel construction safety risk dynamic evaluation index system was established.
- The attribute interval recognition theory-based model effectively handles risk evaluation uncertainties.
- The model determines evaluation levels and attribute intervals for individual and composite attributes.
Conclusions:
- The proposed model provides a robust framework for dynamic safety risk evaluation in TBM construction.
- A case study validated the model's practical applicability and effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
