Abstract
The multiplicities and uncertainties of dam safety influencing factors make the dam safety evaluation complex and difficult. As a mathematical instrument, Dempster-Shafer theory has a great advantage in the expression and combination of uncertainties. A method for dam safety evaluation was proposed based on Dempster-Shafer theory in order to improve the accuracy of dam safety evaluation. The method was verified by the analysis of the monitoring data of a concrete gravity dam. And the analysis result of Dempster-Shafer theory was compared with the Average Evidence Theory and Fuzzy Comprehensive Assessment. The result shows that the safety assessment method based on Dempster-Shafer theory is feasible, effective and superior.
