L'impact de l'incertitude sur la fiabilité de la conception et de l'évaluation de la performance
des talus est souvent significative. La pratique conventionnelle des talus basée sur le …

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 …

Conventional limit equilibrium methods are commonly used to assess the stability of
embankments. The finite-element method, as an alternative to limit equilibrium methods, is …

Slope Engineering is perhaps the geotechnical subject most dominated by uncertainty. The
impact of uncertainty on the quality of slope performance predictions is often substantial …

The paper investigates the probability of failure of two-dimensional and three-dimensional
slopes using the random finite-element method (RFEM). In this context, RFEM combines …

Different models were developed for evaluating the probabilistic three-dimensional (3D)
stability analysis of earth slopes and embankments under earthquake loading using both the …

In situ soil properties exhibit spatial variability, which is often described using a three-
dimensional (3D) random field. With site investigations, soil properties at some specific …

This paper presents a new computational tool for probabilistic stability assessment of earth
slopes/embankments. The method involves high dimensional model representation (HDMR) …

This paper presents a probabilistic study of the out-plane failure mode of long embankments
by first-order reliability method (FORM) and limit equilibrium method (LEM). The uncertainty …

Although the spatial variability of soil properties in slope stability analysis has long been
recognized, the adoption of three-dimensional (3D) probabilistic slope models has been …
