Stability Analysis of a Weathered-Basalt Soil Slope Using the Double Strength Reduction Method by Xiaoliang Liu, Xin Chen, Mei Su, Shilin Zhang, Dengfeng Lu

“…Once the critical stress state of the slope was exceeded, the plastic sliding block slipped at high speed over a long distance along the rock-soil layer interface, and along the way, it scraped out and carried away the original loose topsoil and gravel blocks, which finally piled up in the form of a debris flow. In addition, the attenuations of the cohesion and friction angle are different. …”

The Performance Study on the Long-Span Bridge Involving the Wireless Sensor Network Technology in a Big Data Environment by Liwen Zhang, Chao Zhang, Zhuo Sun, You Dong, Pu Wei

“…The PSO-BP neural network model converges to the set critical error after it is iterated to the 226th generation, while the other two neural network models are not converged. In addition, the relative error of predicted values using PSO-BP neural network is only 2.71%, which is obviously less than the predicted results of other two neural network models. …”
