Abstract

Construction work is a risky undertaking. Risk management, therefore, is essential in dealing with potential exposure to risks. One of the possible options in any risk management approach is to identify and measure the potential risks of various activities. However, it is also necessary to visualize the risks for all parties involved in order to communicate the risks to all parties and to control the risks efficiently. This paper offers a risk visualizing method using an object-oriented model for reinforced concrete construction. The method uses WBS (work breakdown structure) and RBS (risk breakdown structure) to develop a risk management process model. The model applies the weight of each risk factor and the degree of each element's risk to make the process objective, quantitative, consistent, and reliable. The weight of each risk factor is estimated from AHP (analytic hierarchy process) and fuzzy integral. The degree of risk factors for each building element is calculated from an object-oriented model. Through this process, the risk of each element is visualized using the object-oriented modeling tool.
