Abstract

Based on the lining structure of an operational tunnel, the AHP and Fuzzy mathematical models were used to determine the weight of the evaluation index and solve the membership matrix. The weighted-average Fuzzy comprehensive function was used to combine the two, and the Fuzzy–AHP evaluation model was built and programmed. According to the self-developed Fuzzy–AHP evaluation-programmed model, a visualized structure safety evaluation system for operational tunnels was developed by using MATLAB. The system’s functional design, program development, and computational visualized interface were implemented, and key codes were provided. The system can be divided into four modules: data management, fuzzy computation, predictive analysis and key disease indexes to focus on. In addition, the system can easily edit and modify the evaluation function, which includes not only the Fuzzy evaluation but also other types of evaluation functions applicable to other practical engineering projects, improving the applicability of the system. After that, the system was applied to the structure safety evaluation of a mountain tunnel, which provided the evaluation results and key indexes to focus on in the tunnel. Finally, the rationality of the system design was verified by constructing the corresponding BP–RBF combined neural network. This study provides a reference for the establishment of an intelligent structure safety warning system for operational tunnels.
