Construction risk assessment by linguistics: authors´ reply to comments by J.M. Gleason

In replying to J.M. Gleason´s comments (see ibid., vol.38, no.2 p.177-8, 1991) the authors admit that an initial error in calculation of the example that affected subsequent calculations was made in the original paper (see ibid., vol.36, no.2, May 1989). The corrected equations are presented. Taking into account the corrections, it is concluded that among the three predefined fuzzy sets, the set `high´ has the closest Euclidean distance to the fuzzy set [S]. Therefore the total risk of this project is `high´
