摘要: AbstractThis paper presents a fuzzy set–based robust geotechnical design (RGD) approach for the design of earth slopes in which uncertain soil parameters are represented as fuzzy sets. For a slope with fuzzy sets as inputs, the stability (factor of safety) of the slope is also a fuzzy set. The failure probability of the slope can readily be determined based on the obtained fuzzy factor of safety; further, the design robustness in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can also be evaluated. The purpose of the RGD is to derive a design that is robust against the uncertainty in the input parameters, with an explicit consideration on safety and cost. Therefore, a multiobjective optimization is performed and a three-dimensional or two-dimensional Pareto front showing a trade-off between objectives can be obtained, which allows for an informed design decision. The effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy set–based RGD approach is demonstrated through an illustrative example. 出版者: American Society of Civil Engineers 出版日期: 2015-01-01 出處: Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, 2015-01, Vol.141 (1) 資源來源: American Society Of Civil Engineers ASCE Journals 版權: 2014 American Society of Civil Engineers. 識別號: ISSN: 1090-0241 識別號: EISSN: 1943-5606 識別號: DOI: 10.1061/(ASCE)GT.1943-5606.0001196
