Tóm tắt

 This paper discusses the method of evaluating the shear strength of a rock mass for the Baoquan Pumped Storage Power Station project. Formulae are presented from which numerical characteristics of the shear strength can be derived. The results are compared with those obtained by the centre point of group and least squares methods. The random-fuzzy method is shown to be the more realistic and appropriate approach, allowing for fluctuations of the parameters and corresponding well with the test values.
