MULTIPLE CRITERIA SELECTION OF PILE-COLUMN CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY

Simulation of Bored Pile Construction

The installation of pile foundations is complicated by an enormous number of problems. They include unseen subsurface obstacles, lack of contractor experience, and site planning. These major problems and other minor ones make it difficult for the estimator to evaluate the piling project productivity and cost. Therefore, this study is designed to assess these problems using simulation. Both pili...

Asymptotic properties of the sample mean in adaptive sequential sampling with multiple selection criteria

‎We extend the method of adaptive two-stage sequential sampling to‎‎include designs where there is more than one criteria is used in‎‎deciding on the allocation of additional sampling effort‎. ‎These‎‎criteria‎, ‎or conditions‎, ‎can be a measure of the target‎‎population‎, ‎or a measure of some related population‎. ‎We develop‎‎Murthy estimator for the design that is unbiased estimators for‎‎t...

Multiple Criteria Analysis for Energy Storage Selection

In view of the current and predictable energy shortage and environmental concerns, the exploitation of renewable energy sources offers great potential to meet increasing energy demands and to decrease dependence on fossil fuels. However, introducing these sources will be more attractive provided they operate in conjunction with energy storage systems (ESS). Furthermore, effective energy storage...

Multiple Criteria Partner Selection In Virtual Enterprises

A virtual enterprise (VE) is a temporary organization that pools member enterprises core competencies and exploits fast changing market opportunities Partner selection can be viewed as a multi-criteria decision making problem that involves assessing trade-offs between conflicting tangible and intangible criteria, and stating preferences based on incomplete or non-available information. In gener...
