A Propasal of Kansei Matrix for Consensus Building in Bridge Planning for Performance Based Design

Abstract

The objective of the present study is to provide effective information for landscape evaluation when selecting the bridge type in the bridge preliminary design. In selecting the bridge type, the landscape evaluation can turn to be an evaluation item along with economy and workability. In the consensus building stage, Kansei database was built for each of the various evaluation items. First, various bridge types were evaluated and from the obtained information and a Kansei performance matrix was built by applying the scores calculated by Quantification Theory Type I. It was concluded that it can be applied as an effective system in the elaboration of alternative solutions, as well as in consensus building.
