The present paper describes about the application of one of the well structured technique called Fuzzy Delphi Method for the selection of factors influencing the selection of best bridge site. Selection of bridge site depends on various factors and it requires expertise knowledge of the domain Experts. Fuzzy Delphi Method which relies on expert opinion is one of the efficient technique to identify the influential factors which are to be considered for the selection of bridge site. Fuzzy Delphi Method involves two stages. The first stage involves set of interviews with the experts and responses are collected using Likert scale which is then reduced to 1-10 point scale for the selection of influential factors. In the second stage some of the non influential factors are eliminated by appropriate threshold value.
Author Keywords: Fuzzy Delphi, Expert, Threshold, Knowledge, Domain.

Selection of bridge site depends on various factors and it requires expertise knowledge of the domain Experts. Fuzzy Delphi Method which relies on expert opinion is one of the efficient technique to identify the influential factors which are to be considered for the selection of bridge site. Fuzzy Delphi Method involves two stages. The first stage involves set of interviews with the experts and responses are collected using Likert scale which is then reduced to 1-10 point scale for the selection of influential factors. In the second stage some of the non influential factors are eliminated by appropriate threshold value.
