Abstract:The utility tunnel has the important function to protect the urban underground pipelines, and its safety and stability directly affect the operation of cities. To scientifically assess the risks of utility tunnels, a risk assessment model for utility tunnels based on a multi-factor weighted evaluation method is proposed. The model comprehensively takes into account the parameters of the utility tunnel itself, the external influencing factors and the current monitoring data. The total risk value is calculated and the risk levels are classified through quantitative scoring and weight allocation, providing the decision-making support for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of utility tunnels. The model employs a linear weighting method, and the weights are determined by expert methods or the Analytic Hierarchy Process to ensure the scientific nature and applicability of the model. The model can be widely applied to risk assessments during the planning, construction, operation and maintenance stages of utility tunnels, providing a scientific basis for the safety management of urban underground space. In the future, the model can be further optimized in terms of precision and dynamic adaptability by integrating machine learning and big data technologies.
