Abstract:

Collapse risk analysis is of great significance for ensuring construction safety in foundation pits. This study proposes a comprehensive methodology for dynamic risk analysis of foundation pit collapse during construction based on a fuzzy Bayesian network (FBN) and a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP). Firstly, the potential risk factors contributing to foundation pit collapse are identified based on the results of statistical analysis of foundation pit collapse cases, expert inquiry, and fault tree analysis. Then, a FAHP and improved expert elicitation considering a confidence index are adopted to elicit the probability parameters of the BN. On this basis, quantitative risk reasoning and sensitivity analysis of foundation pit collapse are achieved by means of fuzzy Bayesian inference. Finally, an actual deep foundation pit in a metro station was used to illustrate a specific application of this approach, and the results were in accordance with the field observations and numerical simulation results. The proposed approach can provide effective decision-making support for planners and engineers, which is vital to the prevention and control of the occurrence of the foundation pit collapse accidents.
