Application of the hierarchy analysis method to optimize the choice of roofing material for pitched roofs
Incoming article date: 01.11.2018Today’s in the market of building materials there are a large number of roofing materials for pitched roofs. The materials for pitched roofs on the basis of its composition can be divided into mineral (cement concrete and clay roof tiles, asbestos cement sheets and tiles), metal (metal roof tile, profiled steel sheet, clicklock, composite roof shingles) and organic (asphalt shingle, onduline). All of these materials have their advantages and disadvantages, so the task of choosing the optimal option is complex and requires special methods to eliminate the subjectivity of evaluation. The article describes the approach to selecting the best option of roofing material from the available options by the set of its quantitative and qualitative characteristics. It is proposed to carry out the evaluation of options and selection of the best option based on the analytic hierarchy process. The article presents the results of the selection of the most appropriate roofing material for pitched roofs using the specified method.
