基于文献信息挖掘的基坑工程风险识别方法

基坑工程风险识别旨在明确基坑事故风险事件与风险因素的比重大小,为风险管控开展提供科学依据。直接对比重大小进行统计分析需要整理大量的事故资料,不仅工作效率低,且要保证事故资料的数量与完整性。学者们对此进行过多次统计分析,并发表于科技文献中。有效挖掘相关文献的关键信息,二次利用其成果,是科学可行的思路。为此本研究引入文献信息挖掘的概念,搜集基坑事故统计分析的相关文献并提取风险事件与风险因素的关键信息。然后利用D-S证据理论进行多元信息融合,挖掘事件与因素比重大小的综合判定结果。新方法避免了对大量事故开展重复的统计分析,提升了工作效率;并且间接扩大了基坑事故统计分析的数量,提高了资料的完整性;分析结果可以作为基坑工程风险管控的重要依据。
