Improving new method to manage geotechnical risks of infrastructure projects

The infrastructure project risks represent an essential areas in engineering field due to the importance of this types of project to the comunity. For that, the present research developed an approach to assess the geotechnical project risks in Iraq. The thesis specify the north of Iraq as a case study and the risks were specified and evaluated through previous studies, questionnaires, and interviews with experts to built a geotechnical risks database for infrastructure projects. The geotechnical hazards were established using the Delphi technique, based on relevant research and expert views, in the first stage of this chapter, which was to designate the study region, which was the north of Iraq. In the second step, the researcher calculated the RII of dangers based on the region regions. In the third phase, the AHP was created which evaluates the collected data to discover and assess dangers as well as determine the risk rating. The RII and the AHP findings can be compared. The system performance was tested and the results were significant, and the risk prognosis was excellent, according to expert opinion.
