Bridge Construction Quality Evaluation Based on Combination Weighting Method- Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution Theory

Abstract

The process of bridge construction is accompanied by many uncertainties. These uncertainties can have an impact on the quality of bridge construction and are thus directly related to the safe operation of the bridge. Therefore, it is very important to conduct bridge construction quality control evaluations for safe bridge construction and operation. In this paper, a three-tier bridge construction quality control evaluation system is established. This study uses a combination of subjective and objective assignment methods and TOPSIS theory to carry out an evaluation calculation of bridge construction quality. The CWM-TOPSIS theory was applied to the actual engineering calculation by taking the construction process of a mega bridge across the Yellow River as an example. After a series of calculations, the bridge construction quality evaluation results were obtained as level IV. This showed that a construction quality control method was needed for this bridge as soon as possible, and inspection and protection of the bridge should be started to avoid the emergence of bigger quality problems. Finally, the accuracy and applicability of the method proposed in this paper were proved by comparing and analyzing the evaluation results with the standard element theory.
