Research on randomcity of conflict events in construction engineering projects

Abstract

The conflict events that occurred in construction engineering projects (CEP) often bring about many adverse effects on project implementation and show a character of randomcity. To find out the occurring rule of conflict events, all sorts and occurring frequencies of conflict events in CEP are analyzed based on the investigation. The representing rule of conflict events in every stage has been revealed in a new concept referred to as the representation degree by the method of quantitative analysis combined with qualitative analysis. Then, according to the basic principle of the analytic hierarchy process, every stage’s judgment matrixes of conflict events are set up. Latent roots of these matrixes have revealed the influence order of cumulative results of conflict events at each stage. The harvest has obvious theoretical and practical value for forecasting conflict events, mastering the whole project situation, avoiding and reducing conflict events, and improving project management ability.
