Probability prediction of true‐triaxial compressive strength of intact rocks based on the improved PSO‐RVM model

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this work, we propose an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and develop an improved PSO‐relevance vector machine (RVM) model as a substitute for traditional true‐triaxial testing. The model's high prediction accuracy was validated through comparisons with two other machine learning methods and five three‐dimensional Hoek–Brown type

Correction of Line-Sampling Bias of Rock Discontinuity Orientations Using a Modified Terzaghi Method

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2018
The Terzaghi method is widely used to correct the line-sampling bias of rock discontinuity orientations. The method includes four procedures, one of which is meshing the stereographic projection diagram into cells.
