Surrogate model methods are attractive ways to improve the efficiency of Monte Carlo
simulation (MCS) for structural reliability analysis. An intelligent surrogate model based …

Earthquakes are one of the most significant external factors that induce the failure of anti-dip
bedding rock slopes (ABRSs). The pseudo-static method is currently (and is likely to remain …

A slope fails if it slides along any slip surface. Proper assessment of slope failure risk in
geological and geotechnical engineering needs to account, rationally, for a large, or even …

Piles are widely used to increase the stability of piles. Probabilistic methods can be used to
explicitly consider the uncertainties involved in a slope stability analysis. Currently, most …

To assess the risk of slope failure, this study employs a rigorous method that is referred to as
the random finite difference method (RFDM). The RFDM is capable of considering the …

This textbook systematically introduces the theories, methods, and algorithms for
geotechnical reliability analysis. There are a lot of illustrative examples in the textbook such …

The input parameters of dynamic numerical models for landslide run-out distance
simulations cannot be measured accurately, which results in significant uncertainties in the …

Flexural toppling is a common mode of instability of anti-dip bedding rock slopes. However,
there is currently no theoretical method available for determining the failure surface …

Soil nail wall is a compound system which for safety margin determination, consideration of
safety factors of its components and their correlations is required. In this paper, considering …

To enhance the computational efficiency in slope reliability analyses, a binary classification
method (BCM) that takes advantage of a judgement-based strength reduction method (SRM) …
