Application of SVM to Reliability Analysis of Foundation Excavations System

Abstract:

The correlation of failure modes needs to be considered in the reliability analysis of foundation excavations system. Because it is difficult to calculate the correlation coefficient of failure modes, the computational efficiency of traditional method is low. In this paper, the response surface (RS) is established by using the uniform test and support vector machine (SVM). On this basis, in order to obtain the index of each failure mode, the random parameters generated by Monte Carlo simulation are predicted. Combined with the Pearson correlation analysis, the correlation coefficient of failure modes is obtained. And then, the Breadth Border Method, Narrow Bounds Method and PNET method are used to calculate system failure probability of foundation excavations. The reliability analysis method of the foundation excavations system based on the response surface of the support vector machine (RSSVM) is put forward. The instance analysis shows that the method is simple in calculation, and provides a convenient way for the system reliability theory of foundation excavations.
