Abstract

With the development of society, there are more and more existing building renovation projects. According to the common construction safety problems, and based on the characteristics of the construction process of renovation project, this paper established a construction safety risk assessment model of renovation project based on entropy-unascertained measure theory. Firstly, the assessment index system was determined by risk identification and analysis. Secondly, the unascertained measure theory was applied to the construction safety risk assessment of renovation project, and the weight of each index was determined by the entropy weight method. Finally, taking the actual renovation projects as examples to calculate its safety risk grade, it is found that the assessment results of the model are basically consistent with the actual situation of the site by comparison. The research shows that the model can provide a new idea to quantitatively assess the construction safety risk of renovation project and provide a reliable basis for the management and control of the construction safety of existing building renovation project.
