  • Waste materials in concrete have been considered as one of the most important issues by the authorities, policy makers and researchers to maintain engineering serviceability in terms of economy, durability and sustainability. Therefore, evaluation and selection of waste materials with respect to multi criteria decision making (MCDM) for the construction industry has been gained importance for recovery and reuse. In this paper, Choquet integral based fuzzy approach is proposed for evaluating the most suitable waste materials with respect to compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, compactness, toughness (resistivity for dynamic loads), water absorption and accessibility. On conclusion, waste tyre and silica fume were determined as the most suitable waste materials for concrete production. The obtained results are recommended to assist the authorities on configuring well designed strategies for construction industry with disposal materials.

  • This study suggests new approach to identify core technologies through patent analysis. Specially, the approach applied data mining technique and multi-criteria decision making method to the co-classification information of registered patents. First, technological interrelationship matrices of intensity, relatedness, and cross-impact perspectives are constructed with support, lift and confidence values calculated by conducting an association rule mining on the co-classification information of patent data. Second, the analytic network process is applied to the constructed technological interrelationship matrices in order to produce the importance values of technologies from each perspective. Finally, data envelopment analysis is employed to the derived importance values in order to identify priorities of technologies, putting three perspectives together. It is expected that suggested approach could help technology planners to formulate strategy and policy for technological innovation.

  • In this paper, we propose a multi-Criteria decision making approach to address the problem of finding the best possible solution in credit unions. Sensitivity analysis on the priority structure of the goals has been performed to obtain all possible solutions. The study uses the Euclidean distance method to measure distances of all possible solutions from the identified ideal solution. The possible optimum solution is determined from the minimum distance between the ideal solution and other possible solutions of the Problem.

  • The power expansion planning is large and capital intensive capacity planning. In the past, the expansion planning was established with the proper supply reliability in order to minimize social cost. However, the planning cannot use cost minimizing objective function in the power markets with many market participants. This paper proposed the power expansion planning process in the power markets. This system is composed of Regulator and GENCO's model. Regulator model used multi-criteria decision making rule. GENCO model is very complex problem. Thus, this system transacted the part by several scenario assuming GENCO model.

  • The simplified neutrosophic set (SNS) is a generalization of fuzzy set that is designed for some practical situations in which each element has truth membership function, indeterminacy membership function and falsity membership function. In this paper, we propose a new method to construct similarity measures of single valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs) and interval valued neutrosophic sets (IVNSs), respectively. Then we prove that the proposed formulas satisfy the axiomatic definition of the similarity measure. At last, we apply them to pattern recognition under the single valued neutrosophic environment and multi-criteria decision-making problems under the interval valued neutrosophic environment. The results show that our methods are effective and reasonable.

  • The bearing design includes the steps of selection bering type, selection bearing subtype, and determining the peripheral equipments. In this paper decision making methodologies are compared to propose a stepwise decision methodology to the bearing selection problem. An artificial neural network trained with design cases is used for selecting a bearing type in the first step. Then the subtype of the bearing is selected using the weighting method, high is a kind of multi-criteria decision making method. Finally, the types of peripheral equipments such as lubrication devices, seals and bearing housings are determined using a rule-based expert system.

  • 산업이 발전함에 따라 도로 터널의 사이즈와 길이는 계속적으로 증가해 왔으며 그에 따른 터널에서의 리스크 또한 증가되었다. 도로터널에서 환기방식을 결정할 때는 다양하고 많은 고려사항을 염두에 두어야 한다. 현재로서는 이러한 것들을 체계적으로 고려하여 의사결정을 지원할 수 있는 방법론 내지 시스템이 제대로 구축되어 있지 않은 실정이며 대부분 전문가의 경험을 바탕으로 한 주관적 판단에 의존하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 경제성 내지 주관적 판단에 국한하여 의사결정이 이루어지던 관행에서 벗어나 안전성, 환경친화성 등도 충분히 고려하여 결정을 내릴 수 있도록 터널별 최적의 환기방식을 선정하기 위한 일련의 절차와 기준을 제시하였다. 이 때 다속성 효용이론과, AHP기법을 적절히 활용하여 전문가 및 설계자의 주관적/정성적 평가를 객관적/정량적으로 측정할 수 있도록 하였으며, 환기 방식별 종합적 효용을 산출할 수 있는 함수를 도출하기까지의 방법론을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 방법론을 바탕으로 보다 합리적인 의사결정이 이루어질 것을 기대한다.

  • Seismic resiliency of new buildings has improved over the years due to better seismic codes and design practices. However, there is still large number of vulnerable and seismically deficient buildings. It is not economically feasible to retrofit and upgrade all vulnerable buildings, thus there is a need for rapid screening tool. Many factors contribute to the damageability of buildings; this makes seismic evaluation a complex multi-criteria decision making problem. Many of these factors are noncommensurable and involve subjectivity in evaluation that highlights the use of fuzzy-based method. In this paper, a risk-based framework earlier proposed by Tesfamariam and Saatcioglu (2008a) is extended using Fuzzy-TOPSIS method and applied to develop an evaluation and ranking scheme for steel buildings. The ranking is based on damageability that can help decision makers interpret the results and take appropriate decision actions. Finally, the application of conceptual model is demonstrated through a case study of 1994 Northridge earthquake data on seismic damage of steel buildings.
