Regarding the geotechnical aspects, it is very important to correctly estimate a slope's safety
factor against failure. Slope failures, in general, cost a lot of money, hinder transportation …

Little research can be found in relation to the stability of anisotropic and heterogenous soils
in three dimensions. In this paper, we propose a study on the three-dimensional (3D) …

At present, there are two problems in 3D slope reliability analysis:(1) the slope stability
analysis method;(2) how to effectively extend the reliability analysis method from 2D to 3D …

The suitable performance of nail walls during strong ground movements as well as flexibility
than to other guard structures such as retaining walls makes it more evident that this system …

Three-dimensional (3D) limit analysis of stability of slopes is presented. Such analyses are
not common, because of the difficulties in constructing three-dimensional mechanisms of …

An upper bound (UB) and lower bound (LB) finite element limit analysis cooperating with a
machine learning method is adopted as a new solution for predicting the bearing capacity of …

A long slope consisting of spatially random soils is a common geographical feature. This
paper examined the necessity of three-dimensional (3D) analysis when dealing with slope …

The spatial variability is an inherent characteristic of soils. In addition to isotropic and
transversely anisotropic soils, rotated anisotropic soils can also be observed in nature owing …

Most slope collapses have three-dimensional (3D) characteristics due to the uniform soil.
The traditional plane-strain analyses neglect the 3D effects and could yield an …

This paper aims to propose an auxiliary random finite element method (ARFEM) for efficient
three-dimensional (3-D) slope reliability analysis and risk assessment considering spatial …
