Sequence placement logic plays a significant role in construction simulation of high arch dams and directly affects the simulation process and results.To establish a sequence logic for dam block placement,the construction scheme,real-time construction process,and random factors of the site all need to be considered in detail.There are few studies available currently that take all these factors into consideration.To address this problem,a real-time update of sequence placement logic for high arch dams based on evidence weight discount is proposed in this study.First,the subjective weight of the dam block sequence priority criteria is built using a consistent matrix method based on the construction scheme.Second,using evidence theory,dynamic objective weight of the priority criteria and basic probability assignment is built.Finally,using a weight self-adaptive adjustment method and comprehensive evidence discounting,the placing probabilities of different dam blocks are obtained.A case study indicates that this method can realize realtime update of sequence placement logic.
