Abstract :
The selection of shear strength parameters is significant in the analysis of slope stability. In order to improve the reliability of numerical analysis, RBF neural network model is established to predict shear strength parameters of slope rock mass and a lot of engineering data are collected to train and examine the model. The shear strength parameters of a certain slope rock mass are predicted by the model, and the result is close to the in-situ shear tests. It indicates that the model is both reasonable and convenient.
