The strategy applied in this study is fuzzy logic based decision-making system to achieve a rapid way to assess block-toppling failure instability in discontinuous rock slopes as justified by kinematic analysis that are applied to real cases. Referring to fuzzy logic based decision-making; the best option was selected from multiple fuzzy variables through performing a comparison and by obtaining the fastest solution for approximation. The expert system offers a capable fuzzy application for engineering judgment to be utilised in geotechnical decision making for engineering design. Kinematic analysis is currently used for the stability assessment of all types of toppling failures which provides the 'occurrence possibility' and is not capable of describing the stability conditions (degree of occurrences) in discontinuous rock slopes. Application of fuzzy logic complements kinematic analyses through giving a more accurate stability assessment. This study offers a complementary method for block-toppling failure instability assessment in discontinuous rock slopes based on artificial intelligence and a fuzzy expert decision-making system.

Possibilistic interpretation of mistuning in bladed disks by fuzzy algebra
Karataş, Hamit Çağlar; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
This study aims to define the possibilistic interpretation of mistuning and examine the way of determining the worst case situations and assessing reliability value to that case by using possibilistic methods. Furthermore, in this study, benefits of using possibilistic interpretation of mistuning in comparison to probabilistic interpretation of mistuning are investigated. For the possibilistic analysis of mistuned structures, uncertain mistuning parameters are modeled as fuzzy variables possessing possibili...
Intuitionistic, 2-way adaptive fuzzy control
Gurkan, E; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erkmen, İsmet (1999-05-15)
Our objective in this paper is to develop a 2-way adaptive fuzzy control system that makes use of the intuitionistic fuzzy sets for modeling expert knowledge bearing uncertainty. Adaptive fuzzy control systems are fuzzy logic systems whose rule parameters are automatically adjusted through training. The training of such system was applied until now, to supports of rule propositions with single distribution such that they can be termed 1-way adaptive. In our system, all supports to propositions have interval...
Discontinuous rock slope stability analysis under blocky structural sliding by fuzzy key-block analysis method
Azarafza, Mohammad; Akgün, Haluk; Feizi-Derakhshi, Mohammad-Reza; Azarafza, Mehdi; Rahnamarad, Jafar; Derakhshani, Reza (2020-05-01)
This study presents a fuzzy logical decision-making algorithm based on block theory to effectively determine discontinuous rock slope reliability under various wedge and planar slip scenarios. The algorithm was developed to provide rapid response operations without the need for extensive quantitative stability evaluations based on the rock slope sustainability ratio. The fuzzy key-block analysis method utilises a weighted rational decision (multi-criteria decision-making) function to prepare the 'degree of ...
Convergence Error and Higher-Order Sensitivity Estimations
Eyi, Sinan (2012-10-01)
The aim of this study is to improve the accuracy of the finite-difference sensitivities of differential equations solved by iterative methods. New methods are proposed to estimate the convergence error and higher-order sensitivities. The convergence error estimation method is based on the eigenvalue analysis of linear systems, but it can also be used for nonlinear systems. The higher-order sensitivities are calculated by differentiating the approximately constructed differential equation with respect to the...
Reliability-Based Stability Analysis of Rock Slopes Using Numerical Analysis and Response Surface Method
Dadashzadeh, N.; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem; Yesiloglu-Gultekin, N. (2017-08-01)
While advanced numerical techniques in slope stability analysis are successfully used in deterministic studies, they have so far found limited use in probabilistic analyses due to their high computation cost. The first-order reliability method (FORM) is one of the most efficient probabilistic techniques to perform probabilistic stability analysis by considering the associated uncertainties in the analysis parameters. However, it is not possible to directly use FORM in numerical slope stability evaluations a...
