Abstract

The risk factors of utility tunnels construction project (UTCPs) are diverse and complex, which can easily lead to serious accidents. And these accidents are usually the result of ignoring the most serious risk sources due to the lack of comprehensive risk evaluations. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) multi-criteria group decision model for utility tunnels construction project risk evaluation. First, expert groups are invited to evaluate the project risk failure modes, and k-means clustering is used to group the experts and form the aggregated matrix. Then, the CCSD (correlation coefficient and standard deviation) method, regret theory and MULTIMOORA method are used to rank the failure modes. Subsequently, the superiority of the model is illustrated by sensitive and comparative analyzes through a case study of the utility tunnels construction project for Beijing Winter Olympics. Finally, a systematic application model is proposed to provide some decision basis for project risk management.
