Abstract
In general, the plannings of infrastructures require evaluation in every aspect. However, for decades, the construction cost has been used exclusively as a sole means of measuring structural performances. One criterion is not sufficient for evaluating the structure under the complex conditions.
The main objective of this paper is to develop an appropriate evaluation method for the structures of port facilities. The evaluation method proposed herein uses AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) model and performance indices. An AHP model is suitable for evaluating both qualitative and quantitative data. The performance indices are used for evaluation criteria and the rationale for weighting, when using the AHP model. The proposed model is applicable for evaluating performances of any infrastructures.
