Novel Intelligent Approach for Peak Shear Strength Assessment of Rock Joints on the Basis of the Relevance Vector Machine

This study mainly establishes a novel intelligent assessment model for peak shear strength of rock joints based on the relevance vector machine (RVM). RVM is a state-of-the-art soft computing technique that has been rarely utilized in joint shear strength assessment. To establish the hybrid intellig...
