Application of Multi Criteria Decision Making tools in Selection of Concrete Mix

Abstract

Nowadays decision making plays a major role in deciding the execution of any task. For this purpose, two widely known key tools are available to us. These include AHP as well as TOPSIS, both falls under MCDM tools. These techniques are now also brought in the field of civil engineering. Both techniques are used to analyze the results with the help of comparative data studies related to different concrete mixes. The study includes the analysis of results of compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexure strength and then validate the results obtained with AHP and TOPSIS techniques. These techniques will help in identification of best to worst concrete mix.
