Application of Analytic Hierarchy Process to Slope Greening Design
Publication: Characterization, Modeling, and Performance of Geomaterials: Selected Papers From the 2009 GeoHunan International Conference
Abstract
With the rapid development of highway construction in China, the importance of slope greening design is gradually increasing. This paper applied Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) into the design of slope greening and respective analyzed the weight of engineering effect, investment, ecologic function, aesthetics, visual safety for drivers and cultural connotation for a slope greening design. Through the analysis, this paper discussed the methods and principle for slope greening design using AHP. Finally, the paper obtained the result that the effectiveness and the reliability of engineering technology environments are the most key considered factors for slope greening design and also consider the act of protecting original ecological environment, hindering the noise and beautifying the environment for a slope greening design. The method and principle in this paper can provide theoretical method for slope greening design.
