“…A multi-criteria decision-making approach was used for the solution of building structures and systems-related problems, like the evaluation and selection of waste materials for recovery and reuse in concrete [97], the selection of a best practicable decommissioning method [98], the optimization of the fire protection of structures [99] and the selection of an appropriate fan for an underground coal mine [100]. Fewer applications were found in the construction management [101][102][103][104], retrofitting [57,[105][106][107], building maintenance [108][109][110] and location selection [111][112][113] application domains.…”

“…The most popular and commonly applied method in the analyzed sample was AHP, which was developed in 1980 [114]. AHP was used most commonly for the weighting of criteria as a single method or in integration with others for selection and decision-making [58,80,82,87,89,91,[93][94][95][98][99][100]110,113]. Fuzzy sets were the second most popular approach in the analyzed sample.…”

Sustainable decision-making in civil engineering, construction and building technology can be supported by fundamental scientific achievements and multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) theories. The current paper aims at overviewing the state of the art in terms of published papers related to theoretical methods that are applied to support sustainable evaluation and selection processes in civil engineering. The review is limited solely to papers referred to in the Clarivate Analytic Web of Science core collection database. As the focus is on multiple-criteria decision-making, it aims at reviewing how the papers on MCDM developments and applications have been distributed by period of publishing, by author countries and institutions, and by journals. Detailed analysis of 2015-2017 journal articles from two Web of Science categories (engineering civil and construction building technology) is presented. The articles are grouped by research domains, problems analyzed and the decision-making approaches used. The findings of the current review paper show that MCDM applications have been constantly growing and particularly increased in the last three years, confirming the great potential and prospects of applying MCDM methods for sustainable decision-making in civil engineering, construction and building technology.

“…This hybrid technique allows to study the external and internal factors contributing to the success of a MUT network. The AHP is capable of dealing with complex engineering projects involving technological, economical and social dimensions (Curiel-Esparza et al, 2014; Kursunoglu and Onder, 2015;Martin-Utrillas et al, 2015c). In addition, the proposed method increases a better understanding of the governance and relationships among public authorities and private companies in urban subsurface commodities (Canto-Perello and Curiel-Esparza, 2013).…”

Future sustainable underground strategies will consist of the ability to reduce overcrowding subsurface space in our cities. To this end, utility tunnels become a key factor in urban underground planning. These facilities improve joint-use of urban underground space (UUS) that may contain multiple utilities such as water, sewerage, gas, electrical power, telephone, and central heating in several combinations or in some cases all together. However, implementing these subsurface tunnels is retarded most by first-cost, compatibility, security and liability problems. All these drawbacks should be addressed in early planning stages taking into account the uniqueness of each city. Therefore, expert consensus panels from public and private organizations should determine appropriate policies for developing utility tunnels network. This research work applies A'WOT hybrid method combining SWOT analysis and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to study utility tunnel planning in urban areas. The hybrid method takes account of internal resources and capabilities (strengths and weakness) and external factors (opportunities and threats). SWOT analysis is a structured way to analyze these four factors, while AHP technique achieves pairwise comparisons among factors in order to prioritize them using the eigenvector method. The quantitative strategic analysis obtained from the decision support system should be used as a preliminary step in urban planning of future utility tunnel networks.

Selection of an Appropriate Mechanized Mining Technical Process for Thin Coal Seam Mining

Mechanized mining technical process (MMTP) related to the control method of the shearer is a vital process in thin coal seam mining operations. An appropriate MMTP is closely related to safety, productivity, labour intensity, and efficiency. Hence, the evaluation of alternative MMTP is an important part of the mining design. Several parameters should be considered in MMTP evaluation, so the evaluation is complex and must be compliant with a set of criteria. In this paper, two multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE), were adopted for this evaluation. Then, the most appropriate MMTP for a thin coal seam working face was selected in China.
