Abstract

A comprehensive method for quantitatively appraising the safety rating of masonry structure is proposed which is able to reflect the difference in the same safety level. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP), fuzzy theory, and the grey clustering theory were applied based on the fuzzy-grey characteristics and the structural safety factors of the building system. A four-layer safety evaluation model of masonry structure considering its structural features was established by using AHP method and a three-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model was elaborated. Then, the weight coefficient vector of each layer was calculated according to the expert experience and existing research results. Based on the grey clustering method and the fuzzy evaluation model, the evaluation matrix of every layer was established. Finally, this method was applied to a practical masonry structure. Not only the result was in agreement with the appraisal result according to Chinese standard method, but also it quantitatively evaluates the safety grade of every factor in every layer.
