Second-order reliability methods are commonly used for the computation of reliability,
defined as the probability of satisfying an intended function in the presence of uncertainties …

This article presents a Kriging-based probabilistic analysis of an earth dam. The dam failure
probability with respect to the sliding stability is investigated by considering the influence of …

Face stability is an essential issue in tunnel design and construction. Layered rock masses
are typical and ubiquitous; uncertainties in rock properties always exist. In view of this, a …

Random field theory has become a very popular approach for probabilistic analysis of earth
dams. This study performs a stochastic analysis of seepage through an embankment dam to …

Quantification of structural vibration characteristics is an essential task prior to perform any
dynamic health monitoring and system identification. Anatomy of vibration in concrete arch …

Existing reliability analyses of embankment slopes usually considered the spatial
variabilities of shear strength parameters and saturated hydraulic conductivity separately …

The stability of earth-rock dam slope has always been the focus of engineers. The existing
dam slope reinforcement measures mainly include anchor rods, anchor cables, soil nails …

Uncertainty propagation under multimodally distributed random variables, called multimodal
distribution propagation for short, is a challenging problem due to the complicate probability …

In geotechnical engineering, the use of increasingly complex numerical models for design
and assessment presents a significant challenge for the application of probabilistic analysis …

Uncertainty quantification plays a crucial role in the design, monitoring, and risk assessment
of earth dams. To reduce the computational burden, we employ a combination of finite …
