Abstract

Based on the analysis of the classification criteria from various factors,a comprehensive evaluation system of the erosion stability of the vegetated eco-slope protected by 3D geomat is established. To solve the problem of uncertainty in the slope erosion stability analysis and consider the feature of both of random and fuzziness, the theory of Cloud Model has been applied into comprehensive evaluation to realize the uncertainty conversion between the qualitative concept and the quantitative data. By constructing the qualitative rule generator, the specific score of the evaluation index is determined according to the uncertain reasoning. The weights of the evaluation indexes are determined with the help of the Analytic Hierarchy Process developed by Cloud Model (CM-AHP), and then the overall score of the comprehensive evaluation system is obtained. The results of engineering examples demonstrate the practicability and effectiveness of the assessment model, which provides a new way for the evaluation of the erosion stability of the vegetated eco-slope protected by the 3D geomat.
