Summary and Application of Slope Stability Analysis Based on GIS

Abstract

Slope stability analysis is of great significance in geotechnical engineering, for which there are various research approaches as limit equilibrium analysis, numerical analysis, neural network based analysis, etc. Being one of the modern approaches, slope stability analysis based on GIS rises and develops swiftly. Authors give a brief introduction of the theory, research procedures, new developments and try to make it clear the new trend in slope stability analysis. Finally, the slope stability system which was developed based on GIS is introduced. The system which can analyze slope stability based on data mining including fuzzy clustering analysis, regression analysis, extension evaluation etc has provided with more powerful slope stability functions and is easy to be integrated
