In general, the plannings of infrastructures require evaluation in every aspect. However, for decades, the construction cost has been used exclusively as a sole means of measuring structural performances. One criterion is not sufficient for evaluating the structure under the complex conditions.The main objective of this paper is to develop an appropriate evaluation method for the structures of port facilities. The evaluation method proposed herein uses AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) model and performance indices. An AHP model is suitable for evaluating both qualitative and quantitative data. The performance indices are used for evaluation criteria and the rationale for weighting, when using the AHP model. The proposed model is applicable for evaluating performances of any infrastructures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
