The blast-induced damage of a high rock slope is directly related to construction safety and the operation performance of the slope. Approaches currently used to measure and predict the blast-induced damage are time-consuming and costly. A Bayesian approach was proposed to predict the blast-induced damage of high rock slopes using vibration and sonic data. The relationship between the blast-induced damage and the natural frequency of the rock mass was firstly developed. Based on the developed relationship, specific procedures of the Bayesian approach were then illustrated. Finally, the proposed approach was used to predict the blast-induced damage of the rock slope at the Baihetan Hydropower Station. The results showed that the damage depth representing the blast-induced damage is proportional to the change in the natural frequency. The first step of the approach is establishing a predictive model by undertaking Bayesian linear regression, and the second step is predicting the damage depth for the next bench blasting by inputting the change rate in the natural frequency into the predictive model. Probabilities of predicted results being below corresponding observations are all above 0.85. The approach can make the best of observations and includes uncertainty in predicted results.

The meshless methods are particularly suitable for modeling problems with discontinuities such as joints in rock mass. The meshless Shepard and least squares (MSLS) method is a newly developed meshless method, which overcomes some limitations with other meshless methods. In the present paper, the MSLS method is extended for modeling jointed rock mass and the joint is modeled as discontinuity governing the near-field stress. A substantial high rock slope by the dam shoulder of Jinping Hydropower Station is analyzed by the developed method. Safety factors are evaluated based on the stress results along potential slip surfaces and compared with the conventional slice methods. The results demonstrate the feasibility of using the MSLS method in rock slope stability analysis and also reveal some interesting differences from the conventional slice methods. Some findings and outstanding issues demonstrated in this study are discussed in the end, which can be the topics for future development.

In order to optimize the technology of the building, the damage identification of the building structure is studied. Firstly, back propagation neural network (BPNN) and information fusion technology are used to build neural network models. Secondly, the established model is trained. Finally, the displacement mode, natural frequency, Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC), and three kinds of information fusion with only one characteristic information are used as input data to analyse the results of BPNN identification damage. The results show that when the natural frequency is used as the sensitive feature of damage, the accuracy is the highest. The difference between the network output value and the expected value is the smallest, the network output is the most stable, and the network recognition effect is the best. The network output of a mixture of two damage depths is compared with the output of a single damage depth. The data of the network training set composed of the feature data with damage depth of 20 mm and 5 mm has higher accuracy and more accurate damage recognition. This research provides a reference for the optimization of building survey technology and has certain practical value.
