© 2022 Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of SciencesThe key-blocks are the main reason accounting for structural failure in discontinuous rock slopes, and automated identification of these block types is critical for evaluating the stability conditions. This paper presents a classification framework to categorize rock blocks based on the principles of block theory. The deep convolutional neural network (CNN) procedure was utilized to analyze a total of 1240 high-resolution images from 130 slope masses at the South Pars Special Zone, Assalouyeh, Southwest Iran. Based on Goodman's theory, a recognition system has been implemented to classify three types of rock blocks, namely, key blocks, trapped blocks, and stable blocks. The proposed prediction model has been validated with the loss function, root mean square error (RMSE), and mean square error (MSE). As a justification of the model, the support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), Gaussian naïve Bayes (GNB), multilayer perceptron (MLP), Bernoulli naïve Bayes (BNB), and decision tree (DT) classifiers have been used to evaluate the accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and confusion matrix. Accuracy and precision of the proposed model are 0.95 and 0.93, respectively, in comparison with SVM (accuracy = 0.85, precision = 0.85), RF (accuracy = 0.71, precision = 0.71), GNB (accuracy = 0.75, precision = 0.65), MLP (accuracy = 0.88, precision = 0.9), BNB (accuracy = 0.75, precision = 0.69), and DT (accuracy = 0.85, precision = 0.76). In addition, the proposed model reduced the loss function to less than 0.3 and the RMSE and MSE to less than 0.2, which demonstrated a low error rate during processing.

Comparative assessment of the efficiency of seismic isolation for seismic retrofitting of highway bridges in regions of low-to-moderate seismicity
Karalar, Memduh; Dicleli, Murat (null; 2019-07-06)
In this paper, the economical and structural efficiency of friction pendulum bearings (FPB) for retrofitting typical seismically vulnerable bridges in the State of Illinois is studied. For this purpose, a bridge was selected by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to represent typical seismically vulnerable bridges commonly used in the State of Illinois. A comprehensive structural model of the bridge was first constructed for seismic analysis. An iterative multi-mode response spectrum (MMRS) ana...
Fuzzy approach in preliminary design of weak rock slopes for lignite mines
Yardımcı, Ahmet Güneş; Karpuz, Celal; Department of Mining Engineering (2013)
Slope mass rating (SMR) system, which is an enhanced version of rock mass rating (RMR), is a useful tool to be utilized for the preliminary stability analysis of rock slopes. Parameter scoring systems of both conventional RMR and SMR systems are based on crisp set theory. Common problems of conventional classification systems are assigning sharp boundaries for ranges, the same values for both upper and lower limits of ranges and presence of uncertainties as a result of complex nature of rock. These problems...
Numerical modeling of cold-formed steel sheathed shear walls under lateral loading
Topçuoğlugil , Yağmur; Baran, Eray; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Cold-formed steel (CFS) structural systems have been used increasingly in seismically active regions. Shear walls consisting of CFS framing and sheathing panels constitute one type of lateral force resisting system for such CFS framed buildings. The purpose of this study is to develop an efficient numerical model to predict the lateral load response of shear walls that are framed with CFS profiles and sheathed with oriented strand board (OSB) panels. Numerical modeling of shear walls was conducted in OpenSe...
Numerical comparison of retaining system behavior for a deep excavation case with and without ground improvement
Maghsoudloo, Arash; Ahmadinaghadeh, Reza; Toker, Nabi Kartal (2012-11-02)
In the construction of deep excavations in urban areas, the safety of adjacent ground and structures becomes major concern for engineers. In soft clays, the main reason for occurrence of large deflections of soil support systems in excavations is instability of the excavation base. This paper will focus on analyzing and comparing design of an excavation with and without jet grout improvement applied to the excavation base by employing the finite-element code PLAXIS. A well-documented case study is analyzed,...
Probabilistic Slope Stability Analyses: Effects of the Coefficient of Variation and the Cross-Correlation of Shear Strength Parameters
Oğuz, Emir Ahmet; Yalçın, Yağızer ; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan (2017-03-15)
The assessment of the safety level of natural slopes, road cuts, embankments and levees require consideration of uncertainties and variability in material properties. In this study, for a number of slope geometries, including a real-life landslide case, probability of failure (PF) and the most critical failure surface are investigated with and without cross-correlation of shear strength properties. Slopes having different traditionally-defined factor of safety (FS) levels are studied. The uncertainty of soi...
