The decision of the ground improvement method often depends on the experience of an engineer. This paper sets up a module of multi-level fuzzy decision of the ground improvement method in the expressway construction which is mainly to set up multi-level structure module, to get value of the affected factors at rule level and index level, to set up the character index matrix of project level and to have a total evaluation on the projects. Combined with the project of ground improvement on the Second Cincture Road in Wuhan, a case study is carried out with satisfactory results.展开更多
