Identification of Safety Risk Factors in Metro Shield Construction

Among the construction methods for subway projects, shield method construction technology has become a more widely used construction method for urban subway construction due to the advantages of a high degree of construction mechanization, low impact of the construction process on the environment, and strong adaptability of the shield machine to the stratum, etc. However, because of the complexity of the surrounding buildings (structures) in the subway construction, coupled with the diversity of the subway shield method construction activities and the uncertainties in the construction environment, to a certain extent, it is determined that the subway construction process is very complicated. The purpose of this study is based on the text mining method, where text is mined and utilized to realize the identification, extraction, and display of safety risk factors. Thus, it guides the safety management on site and provides a basis for knowledge reuse in other metro shield construction projects. Firstly, we analyze the shortcomings of safety risk management in domestic and international metro shield construction via a literature review, especially the utilization of safety risk text data. Secondly, we collect the risk reports submitted by all parties via the “Metro Project Safety Risk Early Warning System”, and manually screen the hidden danger statements with risk characterization to establish a corpus. Thirdly, we use the Jieba word separation package to extract and display the safety risk factors, so as to guide the on-site safety management. Subsequently, with the help of the Jieba word segmentation package for Chinese word segmentation, we develop a professional thesaurus to improve the effect of word segmentation; then, we use the TF-IDF parameter assignment to achieve the structural transformation of the text to extract high-frequency vocabulary; finally, from the high-frequency vocabulary to screen words containing the semantics of the risk to establish the risk of an initial set of words, we use the existing standards and norms to form the collection of safety risk factors of subway shield construction and generate the cloud diagram for visual display.
