This paper reviews previous studies on developments and applications of response surface
methods (RSMs) in different slope reliability problems. Based on the review, four types of …

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 …

A comparative study of optimization techniques for identifying soil parameters in
geotechnical engineering was first presented. The identification methodology with its 3 main …

This paper presents a system probabilistic stability evaluation method for slopes based on
Gaussian process regression (GPR) and Latin hypercube sampling. The analysis is …

Rainfall-induced landslides pose a significant threat to the public safety in many parts of the
world especially in tropical or subtropical mountainous areas. The research field of …

The need for probabilistic slope analysis that takes into account the uncertainty of soil
properties has been acknowledged by the geotechnical profession. Traditionally …

A slope may have many possible slip surfaces. As sliding along any slip surface can cause
slope failure, the system failure probability of a slope is different from the probability of failure …

This paper deals with slope reliability analysis incorporating two-dimensional spatial
variation. Two methods, namely the method of autocorrelated slices and the method of …

Response surface methods (RSMs) are attractive approaches for slope reliability analysis
because such methods can integrate deterministic numerical slope stability evaluation and …

Abstract Evaluation of the stability and determination of the Critical Slip Surface (CSS) of soil
slopes are salient topics in geotechnical engineering. On the other hand, the stability and …
