Abstract

Several reports on Excavation in Tehran and resulted risk have been released every year. Though, no estimation of the risk has been recorded. The present paper aims to base on various Fire reports in an 18monthperiod and classifying the damages including death, physical and financial losses prepare a model firstly in order to weight these damages. Then provide a map of available risks by use of data. The model is designed according to level of injury. The results show that the worst situation belongs to regions 13 and 14. Also, due to lack of clear information the 9, 10 and 11 regions were excluded. It should be said that the obtained map could be used for urban management from one hand and constructors and contactors on the other hand. Final conclusions indicate that the problems pertaining to Excavation not rely on soil conditions however more on lack of engineering information in field of Excavation as well as economic dominance on engineering activities.
