Abstract

The factors affecting the stability of surrounding rock have fuzzy randomness, and their evaluation indicators not only show boundary ambiguity and interval discreteness but also have complex interactions. In order to reflect the distribution characteristics and interaction relationship of the indicators, and improve the accuracy of surrounding rock stability evaluation, a stability evaluation model of surrounding rock based on a fuzzy Rock Engineering Systems (RES)-connection cloud is proposed. The research showed that the introduction of linguistic hesitant fuzzy sets improves RES, resulting in experts’ compilation completely retained. Through cloud theory transformation, the subjectivity can be further weakened, and the credibility of indicator weight can be effectively improved. The two-dimensional cloud cause-effect map can reflect the indicator interaction relationship more intuitively and accurately. The joint state is found to be the most dominant parameter, and groundwater seepage is found to be the least dominant parameter. Furthermore, the connection cloud can overcome the defects of traditional cloud model which assumes the indictor follow normal distribution. Comparing the engineering application results with the matter-element extension method and the fuzzy set method, the feasibility of the present model is verified.
