Abstract: The present work aims to be a useful information about the novel MCDM methods applied on geomembranes in order to select the best alternative for construction. Qualitative and quantitative information will be used to do the best choice. AHP method is used to calculate the weight (importance) of the different criteria which uses the subjective information to assign numeric values among 0 and 1, being better weights with values near to 1. COPRAS-G, OCRA, TOPSIS, VIKOR, EXPROM II and ORESTE methods are applied as MCDM methods in order to perform the more accurate selection using relevant information about the features of different materials. These methods use the weight obtained by AHP for ranking the best alternative, whose result contains subjective and objective information. Finally, all methods are standardised with a unique equations template, which makes it easier to understand all of them in subsequent applications.
