| Sumario: | The selection of material solutions is a basic decision-making problem that occurs in engineering issues. It affects the entire life cycle of a building structure, its safe use, maintenance costs, and a need to meet requirements for sustainable development, including recycling. This paper aims at selection of the optimum composition of HPC designed for monolithic girder structures of post-tension bridges. For the analysis, a set of 12 new-generation concretes (HPC) was designed, made, and tested. A full-scope set of evaluation criteria was created and then the optimal alternative was selected. For this purpose, an advanced hybrid algorithm combining EA FAHP (Extent Analysis Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) and FuzzyTOPSIS (Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) methods was used. The obtained results indicate a possibility for the practical application of the proposed algorithm by decision-making engineering staff. It can also be the basis for further research on application compared to other material and design solutions and, depending on the issue, different combination of aggregated methods. |
