Abstract: In order to evaluate seismic stability of rock and soil slopes correctly, based on the intuitionistic fuzzy set TOPSIS, an evaluation model for seismic stability of slopes was built. By comprehensive consideration of qualitative and quantitative indicators, six indexes were identified, including the characteristics of the geotechnical body, the characteristics of the neotectonics, slope height, slope angle, the annual average precipitation, and site seismic intensity. For the fuzziness of qualitative indicators and index weights, intuitionistic fuzzy sets were used to represent them. A seismic stability evaluation model of slope was built based on TOPSIS. The model was used to evaluate the seismic stability of 16 slopes. The evaluation results conform with the actual situation. The results show that the evaluation model of seismic stability of rock slope based on intuitionistic fuzzy set TOPSIS can be used to deal with the fuzziness of weights of indexes and qualitative indexes, and evaluation results obtained by using the model are more accurate than those by the catastrophe progression method, the attribute mathematical theory, the grey clustering method, the comprehensive index method, and the fuzzy factors method.

Key words: slopes, seismic stability, intuitionistic fuzzy set, hesitancy degrees, technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution(TOPSIS)
