Research on Slope Excavation Stability Based on PSO-BP Reinforcement Optimization Algorithm

With the acceleration of urbanization, the demand for construction land has increased sharply. High and steep slope excavation has become an important way to provide construction sites, but its stability is directly related to engineering safety and the surrounding environment. Therefore, the difficulty of how to maintain slope stability during excavation is the focus of our current research. In this paper, based on the high and steep rock slope of a special building in a city in southern China, the PSO-BP (particle swarm optimization-back propagation neural network) algorithm is used to predict the support parameters of the slope, whose safety factor does not meet the requirements. The numerical simulation results show that the safety factor after optimized support is 21.1% higher than that before support, the slope dissipation energy is reduced by 53.1%, the displacement in the direction of zz and xx is reduced by 99.3% and 98. 7%, and the fitting degree between the support parameters predicted by the algorithm and the actual support parameters is good, which shows that the algorithm can provide a scientific and reliable basis for optimizing the slope reinforcement parameters, shortening the time of slope reinforcement design and improving the slope stability.

Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization, the demand for construction land has increased sharply. High and steep slope excavation has become an important way to provide construction sites, but its stability is directly related to engineering safety and the surrounding environment. Therefore, the difficulty of how to maintain slope stability during excavation is the focus of our current research. In this paper, based on the high and steep rock slope of a special building in a city in southern China, the PSO-BP (particle swarm optimization-back propagation neural network) algorithm is used to predict the support parameters of the slope, whose safety factor does not meet the requirements. The numerical simulation results show that the safety factor after optimized support is 21.1% higher than that before support, the slope dissipation energy is reduced by 53.1%, the displacement in the direction of zz and xx is reduced by 99.3% and 98. 7%, and the fitting degree between the support parameters predicted by the algorithm and the actual support parameters is good, which shows that the algorithm can provide a scientific and reliable basis for optimizing the slope reinforcement parameters, shortening the time of slope reinforcement design and improving the slope stability.
