Abstract

The specification of underground structures, and  investigation of earth-penetrating weapons, and ultimately the major and minor impacts resulted from an invasion on these structures is one of the significant issues that each country may encounter. In other word, understanding the materials and applicable methods in the construction of buried components, to defend against the potential threats, has an important role in terms of the management construction’s principals, like time management, expenditure, and quality. Moreover, according to questionnaires and the experts’ opinions, utilization of the quantitative methods such as AHP, and the EXPERT CHIOCE software provide the opportunity to identify such indexes and alternatives. This study shows that the fiber concrete materials, reinforced concrete, nano materials, and FRP, introduce the best efficiency and function compare to other alternatives. As such, these materials are highly applicable not only in the construction of reinforced or fiber concrete, and Lattice Panel, but also in the process of retrofitting.
