abstract="Uncertainty is one of the main sources of risk of geological hazards in tunnel  engineering. Uncertainty information not only affects the accuracy of evaluation  results, but also affects the reliability of decision-making schemes. Therefore, it  is necessary to evaluate and control the impact of uncertainty on risk. In this  study, the problems in the existing entropy-hazard model such as inefficient  decision-making and failure of decision-making are analysed, and an improved  uncertainty evaluation and control process are proposed. Then the tolerance cost,  the key factor in the decision-making model, is also discussed. It is considered  that the amount of change in risk value (R1) can better reflect the psychological  behaviour of decision-makers. Thirdly, common multi-attribute decision-making  models, such as the expected utility-entropy model, are analysed, and then the  viewpoint of different types of decision-making issues that require different  decision methods is proposed. The well-known Allais paradox is explained by the  proposed methods. Finally, the engineering application results show that the  uncertainty control idea proposed here is accurate and effective. This research  indicates a direction for further research into uncertainty, and risk control,  issues affecting underground engineering works.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
