A Fuzzy AHP-Based Method for Comprehensive Blasting Vibration Comfort Evaluation Forecast

Blasting vibration comfort evaluation (BVCE) is an emerging interdisciplinary multilayer and multifactor issue that involves explosion mechanics, structural dynamics, biodynamics, statistics, psychology, and many other disciplines. The evaluation index system of blasting vibration comfort is divided into three levels: target level, criterion level, and index level. The absorption blasting vibration energy (ABVE) value is calculated based on triangular membership function, while the value of residual subjective evaluation index is obtained based on evaluation standard. The weight of each index is determined using the analytic hierarchy process. By developing the mathematical models, defining and quantifying the BVCE indices, and analyzing the factors that influence blasting vibration comfort in a hierarchical manner, this study proposes an exploratory fuzzy AHP-based method for comprehensive BVCE. The feasibility\reliability of this method is verified on the basis of 166 groups of comfort survey data. It is found that more than 85% and 62% of forecast results had an error of less than 1.0 and 0.5, respectively. The aim of combining qualitative and quantitative approaches to evaluate and forecast blasting vibration comfort can be initially realized. Further sensitivity analyses show that the absorbed blasting vibration energy (ABVE) index had the most significant influence, followed by environmental vibration, environmental noise, blasting noise, and lastly other factors on blasting vibration comfort. The presented results can provide a reference and guidance for actively creating the favorable conditions in blasting construction practice to improve the resident comfort and to realize the goal of “undisturbing, safe, and harmonious blasting construction.”
