The slope stability analysis is routinely performed by engineers to estimate the stability of river training works, road embankments, embankment dams, excavations and retaining walls. This paper presents a new approach to build a model for the prediction of slope stability state. The support vector machine (SVM) is a new machine learning method based on statistical learning theory, which can so...

geographical position, topographic conditions and climatic variety have caused the ‎province of zanjan to be known as the province of four seasons. its unique ‎ecological conditions, forest and pasture coverage, numerous water resources, ‎wildlife, several hunting zones, protected areas, caves, waterfalls, springs and tens of ‎other beautiful unique landscapes have caused this province ...

The objective of this paper is to present a new rock mass classification system which can be appropriate for rock slope stability assessment. In this paper an evaluation model based on combining the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Fuzzy Delphi method (FDM)was presented for assessing slope rockmass quality estimates. This research treats the slope rockmass classification as a group deci...

In this paper, we propose the use of second-order slope compensation for a current-mode PWM buck converter. First, the current feedback loop in a current-mode PWM buck converter using a conventional slope compensation is analyzed by the small-signal transfer function. It becomes clear that the stability and frequency bandwidth of the current feedback loop is affected by the external input volta...

The problem associated with use of statistical methods for determining a best linear relationship of the form Y = AX +B have been examined for a condition quite prevalent with experimental research, i.e., when the values of both variables are subject to essentially unknown errors. Under this condition standard least-squares regression analysis underestimates the value of the slope A. A very sim...

In this paper, stability of slopes with a shallow foundation located on top including the shape of the failure mechanism is investigated in static and seismic states. This is a three dimensional problem which is analyzed two dimensionally because 3D analyses are complex and appropriate softwares are not available. The conventional method of bearing capacity evaluation of foundations on top of ...
