Problems about Ranking Methods of Slope Failure Hazards

Influence of modeling material on undercut slope failure mechanism

A series of physical modeling tests were conducted by means of a beam type geotechnical centrifuge machine in order to investigate the drainage impact on the slope failure mechanism under centrifugal acceleration. Meanwhile, the phenomenon of stress redistribution in undercut slopes and the formation of arching effect were studied. For this purpose, a poorly graded sandy soil (Silica sand No. 6...

Evaluation of Ranking Similarity in Ordinal Ranking Problems

In ordinal ranking problems objects, alternatives, products, services, etc. are ranked by several experts and the goal is to convert a set of (generally different) rankings into the final group consensus ranking. However, this goal depends on a degree of agreement among rankings. With random rankings one cannot expect to get meaningful consensus, but if rankings are „close“ and represent agreem...
