Abstract

The information value method is widely used in predicting the susceptibility of geological disasters. However, most susceptibility evaluation models assume that the weight of each influencing factor is equal, which is inconsistent with the actual situation. Therefore, this paper studies the optimization effect of weight calculation method on the information value model. Engineering disturbance disasters are developing in the Himalayan alpine valley in southeastern Tibet. First of all, this paper takes this as the research object and builds a database of engineering disturbance disasters in southeast Tibet through long-term on-site investigation. Then, the relationship between the influencing factors such as slope, aspect, relief, elevation, engineering geological rock formation, rainfall, temperature, and seismic peak acceleration and the distribution of engineering disturbance disasters is analyzed. Finally, the principal component analysis method and logistic regression method are employed to calculate the weight coefficients. Moreover, the susceptibility of engineering disturbance disasters is predicted using the information value model (IV-Only), as well as two weighted information value models (PCA-IV and LR-IV). In addition, the accuracy of these three susceptibility evaluation models is assessed based on two evaluation indexes. The results show that: compared with the equal weight method and the principal component analysis method, the logistic regression method has the highest accuracy. According to the weight coefficient, the control factors of engineering disturbance disasters in the Himalayan alpine canyon area are determined to be slope, aspect, rainfall, and elevation. The research results provide a reference method for the optimization of susceptibility evaluation model.
