Construction safety risk assessment method of construction engineering based on improved SVM

In this study, SVM was improved to complete the design of a building safety risk assessment method. This method selects the index to design the scientific evaluation system and completes the calculation of the index weight. Then, the support vector machine is improved and optimised. The judgement matrix is established according to the nine-level scale method, and it is standardised as the input of SVM, and the building safety risk assessment grade is output through the optimal hyperplane classification. The results show that the generalisation error of this method is between 0.034 and 0.053, and the evaluation time is between 1.5 h and 2.5 h, which can better evaluate the safety risk of engineering construction. © 2023 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd..
