“…Over the last few decades, several MCDM methods have been proposed, each with its advantages and limitations [56]. Among them, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has the advantages of simplicity of application, repeatability, and consistency of results [57], and for that reason, it gained recognition, and currently is one of the most employed MCDM techniques by academics, and by industry in general [58][59][60]. The AHP method was developed by Saaty [61] and its approach is based on the fragmentation of the decision process into smaller parts, constituting a hierarchical system of objectives, metrics, and scenarios [62][63][64].…”

“…The AHP method was developed by Saaty [61] and its approach is based on the fragmentation of the decision process into smaller parts, constituting a hierarchical system of objectives, metrics, and scenarios [62][63][64]. The methodology converts qualitative judgments into a quantitative comparison through pairwise observations between criteria and priorities, helping decision makers to reach the best possible solution to an MCDM problem [58,60,64,65].…”

“…A linguistic scale was used to facilitate criteria evaluation. Finally, the linguistic terms were converted to Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFN) through a fuzzy scale, leading to the formulation of a fuzzy pairwise comparison matrix [58,65]. In this study, nine TFNs were used, each represented by a membership function (Figure 4).…”

“…In this study, nine TFNs were used, each represented by a membership function (Figure 4). Variables l ij , m ij , u ij represent a fuzzy number's minimum, average, and maximum values using TFN linguistic scale, as shown in Equation ( 1) [58]. In addition, the pairwise comparison presents a reciprocal property, that is, according to Tsai and Phumchusri [63] 2).…”

“…Step 3: Defuzzify criteria weights using center of area method The fuzzy weights ω i previously calculated are still TFNs; therefore, average weights of the criteria must be calculated and defuzzified through the center of area approach, applying Equation (5) [58,66]. Defuzzification was used to convert the fuzzy values to exact values [63].…”

The construction industry is one of the most significant consumers of environmental resources worldwide. Faced with the need to produce new buildings, but without further burdening the environment, attempts to improve social, economic, and environmental indicators have turned attention to building construction in recent decades. The objective of this research is to develop a novel framework to assess the most sustainable choice of materials applied to the construction of low-income buildings, according to the three pillars of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL). A BIM-LCSA-FAHP-based model was proposed with the creation of nine different scenarios, where the materials of the structure (precast concrete, cast-in-place concrete, and structural masonry), painting (PVA water-based and acrylic), and roofing (ceramic and fiber cement tiles) varied. The proposed procedure consists of the elaboration of a 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) model, for which the parameters described above were evaluated according to the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA)-TBL-based criteria, divided into ten sub-criteria, that includes: (1) environmental (acidification, eutrophication, global warming, ozone depletion, smog formation, primary energy, non-renewable energy, and mass total), (2) economic (construction cost) and (3) socio-political issues (community impact). Finally, the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used as a multi-criteria decision-making technique that helps in aggregating and classifying the impacts of each scenario in a sustainability index (SI). Regarding the best option for low-income construction, the results indicated that precast concrete when combined with acrylic paint and fiber cement tiles (scenario 3) proved to be the most advantageous and achieved first place in the sustainability index (SI) developed in this work. This methodology is replicable for different construction typologies and several categories of materials, making it a robust decision-aiding tool for engineers, architects, and decision makers.

Natural fiber‐reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) have gained limelight in many applications during the recent years, owing to their availability, as well as superior mechanical characteristics, cost‐effectiveness, biodegradability, and lightweight. A comprehensive understanding of the manufacturing methods, proeprties and characteristics of natural fibers pave way for begetting a wide spectrum of applications for the NFPCs in automobile, aerospace, electronics, and other engineering fields. The current review article is about natural fiber‐reinforced composites, the commonly used fabrication methods, including fiber pre‐treatments, and numerous intermediate steps added to achieve improved bonding, processability of these composites, their properties and application prospects. Various state‐of‐the‐art methods like additive manufacturing, vaccum bag molding, and autoclave has also been discussed. The mechanical properties obtained through various fiber reinforcements in accordance with process parameters has a substantial impact in the industrial applications of NFPCs. The tribological applications of NFPCs are becoming increasingly important in order to deal with the mechanical and chemical wear and tear during their service life in contact applications. Flammability behavior and biodegradability assessment of NFPCs are important for high‐temperature and outdoor environmental applications of these materials. The review also includes a comprehensive discussion about the trending applications and future prospects for NFPCs.
