Multiple Criteria Assessment Of Soil Reinforcement Application By MOORA Methods

"Nowadays, the increase in need for building lands and the decrease in available places with proper foundation soil characteristics made it necessary to construct engineering buildings on soils, which need improvement. Consequently, though not desired, the areas that have poor foundation soil characteristics are put into service. Many criteria are considered during selection of reinforcement method of the land, which is decided to have soil reinforcement. While the selection criteria are determined, both qualitative and quantitative criteria should be assessed together. In this study, the selection of soil reinforcement method that will be used for the soil that needs to be reinforced was performed by MOORA approach, which is a multiple criteria decision method. Within the scope of this approach, ranking orders obtained by making calculations based on both Ratio Analysis and Reference Point Theory were compared. By using this approach, a numerical solution is utilised in selection of soil improvement method and a significant easiness was provided to make a decision."
