Abstract

The objective of this study is to survey the most appropriate way to protect body slope of the rockfill reservoir dams on the basis of fuzzy multiple criteria decision and analyze the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP). In the present study, the reservoir dam of Shahr-e-Bijar, situated in Guilan province of Iran, has been studied. Also, for using the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process, eight important criteria in order to select the fittest way to protect body slope of the dam as well as five methods, namely, Riprap, Concrete facing, Asphalt concrete, Soil – Cement, and Geo-synthetic protection have been studied and analyzed. The fuzzy numbers used in this study are triangle fuzzy numbers. Moreover, Visual Basic Program has been used in calculations. Due to the result of the study, concrete protection is the best method among all other methods used to protect the body slope of the dams.
