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

Circular shafts are widely concerned in the construction of urban underground
infrastructures and their stability is essential. Uncertainties and randomness in soil …

Slope instability can lead to catastrophic consequences. However, predicting slope stability
effectively is still challenging because of the complex mechanisms and multiple influencing …

This paper presents a methodology for constructing fragility functions to characterise slope
stability under a range of catastrophic earthquakes and rainfalls. The procedures for creating …

A knowledge-based clustered partitioning (KCP) approach is improved to determine the
reliability index and probability of failure of a rock slope. The Nataf transformation is adopted …

The paper will review the state-of-the-art in the use of finite element methods for modeling
geotechnical engineering problems involving non-typical geometries and highly variable …

Shear strength parameters in naturally alluvial deposits bear variation with depth (non-
stationarity). Probabilistic analysis of simple slopes with linearly increasing (mean) …

In recent years, many high rockfill dams have been constructed in China for the purpose of
hydropower generation. One of the critical aspects of rockfill dam design is the analysis of …

The bearing capacity of offshore foundations, subject to combinations of vertical, horizontal
and moment loading, is generally defined through failure envelopes. These envelopes are …

Reliability analysis and multivariate statistical fitting are valuable techniques that enhance
the scientific basis of regulatory decisions in geotechnical problems. This study introduces …
