Soil nails are extensively employed to improve slope stability. It is exceedingly difficult to analyze the reliability for a soil-nailed slope because there are numerous possible slip surfaces (SSs) and different rows of soil nails may have several different failure modes (FMs). This paper suggests a response surface methodology utilizing backpropagation neural network to assess system reliability (SR) of soil-nailed slope. To evaluate SR for soil-nailed slopes, this research proposes a response surface approach built on backpropagation neural network. How to analyze the most critical FMs govern SR of soil-nailed slope is also described. The recommended method is illustrated with an example of a soil-nailed slope. It is discovered that SR of soil-nailed slope is commonly dominated by a few representative failure modes (RFMs). Furthermore, the SR of slope increases with the number of nail rows when the soil nails are subjected to tensile failure. It also increases with the nail length when soil nails are subjected to pullout failure or deep failure. This study offers practical methods and valuable insights for the SR analysis and design of soil-nailed slopes.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.
