Evaluation of tunnel safety: towards an economic safety optimum
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to propose a method for the evaluation of tunnel safety using probabilistic risk assessment. The framework includes three criteria; personal-, societal-and economic risk. The use of personal and societal risk is becoming more and more widespread. There are however, still some difficulties in using the economic risk criterion. Thus, as a first step towards economic risk optimisation, the cost effectiveness of addition and removal of safety measures in tunnels is investigated. Finally, the application of the three proposed criteria is further discussed for some tunnelling projects currently underway in the Netherlands. q 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Evaluation of tunnel safety and cost effectiveness of measures
Aim of this paper is to propose a framework for the evaluation of tunnel safety. Two methods for the analysis of tunnel safety, the probabilistic and the deterministic approach, and their characteristics have been described. Probabilistic criteria are proposed for the judgment of personal, societal and economic risks of tunnels. Furthermore some methods to analyse cost effectiveness of (additio...
متن کاملEvaluation of structural analysis of tunnel segmental lining using beam-spring method and force-method (Case study: Chamshir water conveyance tunnel)
The joints between segmental rings can withstand a certain amount of bending moment as well as axial and shear forces. Generally, in the structural analysis of tunnel segmental lining, the joints can be modeled as elastic hinges or rotational springs, and their rigidity should be demonstrated in terms of the rigidity of the joints or their rotational stiffness. Therefore, the bending moment act...
متن کاملSafety Analysis of Spent Fuel Transportation Cask of Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant through the Passing of Fire Tunnel with ANSYS®10.0
The spent fuel assemblies (FAs) of Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant are planed to be transported by TK-13 casks. Each spent fuel transportation cask holds 12 spent FAs and has a thick steel container to provide shielding. The calculations have been performed for FAs with burn ups of 60 MWd/kg and a 3-years cooling period. The ANSYS®10.0 general finite element analysis package was se...
متن کاملThe optimum support selection by using fuzzy analytical hierarchy process method for Beheshtabad water transporting tunnel in Naien
The engineers can frequently encounter with the situation to select the optimum option among the alternatives related with tunneling operations. The optimum choice can be selected by the experienced engineers taking into consideration their judgment and intuition. However, decision-making methods can offer to the engineers to support their optimum selection for a particular application in a sci...
متن کاملSelection of Optimum Tunnel Support System Using Aggregated Ranking of SAW, TOPSIS and LA Methods
The selection of optimum support system is a key step in the successful design operation of tunneling, rock mass stabilization and minimization of plastic zone extension around a tunnel. In this context, it is not sufficient to rely only on the experiences of design engineers, but taking all effective measures and parameters is necessary to do a proper choice. In this paper, multi attribute dec...
