Applying the analytic network process for risk assessment in sustainable ground improvement
Abstract
Constructing foundations for heavy buildings on soft ground can be carried out by ground improvement. Sustainable ground improvement is achieved by adding synthesised binding materials - geopolymers. Natural ground composition in this way is transformed into new material. This paper presents the implementation of the Analytical Network Process (ANP) for assessing risk in sustainable ground improvement. Sensitivity analyses have shown exceptionally stable decision making results.
