Typology Selection of Retaining Walls Based on Multicriteria Decision-Making Methods

In civil engineering and construction, in the selection of most adequate sustainable alternative, all alternatives criteria, such as requirements construction process (which are often overlooked) preferences designers, clients, or contractors, not always taken into account. The purpose this article is to suggest a methodology that may allow studying possible find ideal solution among existing possibilities for retaining walls be built infrastructures different environments. For purpose, typologies criteria (external requirements, characteristics natural land economic criteria) first identified. Subsequently, simple methodological method proposed, allowing relative importance each criterion established us select suitable situation by successively applying multicriteria decision-making methods. Finally, developed applied two projects locations with constraints. results obtained provide set compromise solutions remain best-rank when weights change. Therefore, can other structures future projects.
