Abstract:

In order to evaluate the reliability of urban bridges and prevent safety accidents of bridges, the multi-standard and multi-factor requirements of urban bridge evaluation and the complexity and fuzziness of the evaluation system were considered. A comprehensive evaluation index system for bridge structure reliability was established according to the structural characteristics and code requirements of urban bridges. An improved AHP was adopted to construct a judgment matrix through the 1-9 scale method and the natural index scale method, so as to determine the subjective weights of indexes at all levels of the evaluation system. The objective weights of indexes at all levels were determined through the EWM, and the indexes were empowered by combining the above two methods. The fuzzy theory was introduced, and the Cauchy distribution membership function was selected and corrected based on the characteristics of bridge structure engineering. Then the membership matrix values of the indexes at all levels were calculated. The index system and calculation method were validated in real bridge structure engineering. The results show that combining industry codes and expert experience to establish an evaluation index system, using an improved AHP based on the existing research, and introducing fuzzy theory can enhance the objectivity and accuracy of bridge reliability evaluation.
