A Coupled Analysis of Risk Factors of Tower Crane Collapse Accident in Extreme Winds Conditions Based on N-K Model
Publication: ICCREM 2023
ABSTRACT
The safety risk of a construction tower crane in high winds is a complicated linked problem with several facets. To investigate the risk elements of a construction tower crane in harsh weather, this study first examines the risk components from four perspectives: human, equipment, environment, and management. The N-K model is then used to calculate the coupling value between various risk variables. Secondly, the likelihood of risk occurrence under single-factor, two-factor, and multi-factor coupling modes is used to derive the risk coupling value under various coupling situations. Finally, a case study is performed to confirm the viability of the suggested approach. Based on the findings, approaches for decreasing and mitigating associated hazards are suggested. This study will help to lessen the coupling impact of tower crane safety risk variables and prevent the multi-factor coupling issues that led to this disaster.
