Probabilistic risk assessment of excavation performance in tunnel projects using Bayesian networks: a case study
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model for probabilistic assessment of excavation performance of tunnel projects is presented. The model is based on Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBN) and enables to consider the quality of the design and construction process. It is applied on a case study, the excavation of a road tunnel by means of the New Austrian Tunnelling Method. The influence of main model parameters and assumptions (e.g. quality, distribution of unit time) is assessed through a sensitivity analysis.

Dynamic Bayesian Network for Probabilistic Modeling of Tunnel Excavation Processes
A Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) model for probabilistic assessment of tunnel construction performance is introduced. It facilitates the quantification of uncertainties in the construction process and of the risk from extraordinary events that cause severe delays and damages. Stochastic dependencies resulting from the influence of human factors and other external factors are addressed in the mo...

Objective: The aim of this paper is to propose a new approach to assess the aggregated impact of risks on the completion cost of a construction project. Such an aggregated impact includes the main impacts of risks as well as the impacts of interactions caused by dependencies among them. Methods: In this study, Monte Carlo simulation and Bayesian Networks methods are combined to present a frame...

متن کاملA Statistical-Probabilistic Pattern for Determination of Tunnel Advance Step by Quantitative Risk Analysis
One of the main challenges faced in design and construction phases of tunneling projects is the determination of maximum allowable advance step to maximize excavation rate and reduce project delivery time. Considering the complexity of determining this factor and unexpected risks associated with inappropriate determination of that, it is necessary to employ a method which is capable of accounti...
