Piles are widely used to increase the stability of piles. Probabilistic methods can be used to
explicitly consider the uncertainties involved in a slope stability analysis. Currently, most …

Conventionally adopted deterministic slope stability analyses do not consider the influence
of uncertainties related to geotechnical properties as well as failure mechanism in slope …

Subsurface formations with multiple soil/rock strata are a common geological condition for
shield-driven tunnel (ie, tunnel constructed using shield-driven machines) construction. The …

Toppling failure of rock slopes is a complicated mode due to a combination of both
continuous and discontinuous deformation, especially in dealing with anti-dip rock slopes. In …

In this paper, deterministic stability analyses for soil slopes reinforced with pile of different
locations and lengths were conducted firstly to calculate the factor of safety through limit …

This paper develops a multiple response surfaces approach to approximate the limit state
function for slope failure by second‐order polynomial functions, to incorporate the variation …

Many uncertainties exist in pile-stabilized slopes which make their design substantially
complicated. In this paper, a first-order reliability method (FORM) based on a support vector …

The flexibility matrices of transversely isotropic saturated viscoelastic soils are obtained by
the extended precise integration method. We use the finite element method (FEM) to derive …

An analytical model defining soil nail walls' probability of failure with respect to external and
internal stability is developed in the present study. Unit weight, shear strength properties and …

In the reliability analysis of the landslide-stabilizing piles system (LSP), the most commonly
used uncertainty models of geotechnical parameters mainly include the homogeneity model …
