Abstract

This paper explores the development of a Decision Support System (DSS) aimed at optimizing the use of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) bottom ash in construction materials. With increasing waste generation and the need for sustainable construction practices, the utilization of MSWI bottom ash presents an opportunity to mitigate environmental impact. The DSS integrates multi-criteria decision-making methods, environmental assessments, and material performance evaluations to provide an optimal solution for incorporating MSWI bottom ash in construction applications. The system's effectiveness was validated through case studies and sensitivity analysis, showing potential for widespread adoption in the construction industry. This paper presents the development of a decision support system (DSS) to optimize the utilization of MSWI bottom ash in construction materials. The DSS integrates expert knowledge, machine learning algorithms, and linear programming to provide a comprehensive solution for MSWI bottom ash utilization.
