Using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) maps to enhance data interpretation and decision making to manage geotechnical risks
Using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) maps to enhance data interpretation and decision making to manage geotechnical risks
Infrastructure is highly susceptible to damage caused by expansive soils. A geodatabase was developed for managing and storing large datasets obtained from geotechnical reports for this soil type. These datasets will be used to create an MCDA map applicable to South Africa. This paper discusses the systematic approach to creating this map. The MCDA maps will include an exhaustive analysis considering multiple criteria that impact soil behaviour, stability, and suitability for geotechnical design and construction for risk mitigation.
