In probabilistic slope stability analysis, the similarity and differences of the surface of
minimum factor of safety (FS) and the surface of minimum reliability index (β) have not been …

The paper presents a numerical procedure for locating the surface of minimum reliability
index βmin for earth slopes. The procedure uses a formulation similar to that used to search …

In probabilistic slope stability analysis, the influence of cross correlation of the soil strength
parameters, cohesion and internal friction angle, on the reliability index has not been …

Focusing on low-rise steel buildings supported by shallow isolated foundations on dense
silty sand, this study demonstrates the effect of uncertainty in soil parameters on seismic …

An analytical model defining soil-foundation probability of failure with respect to total system
stability was developed in the present study. Soil geotechnical properties of the internal …

The present paper responds to the challenge of modeling uncertainty in soil strength
parameters concerning its spatial variability in a situation of limited soil information …

Multiple sources of uncertainties often exist in the evaluation of slope stability. When
assessing stability of slopes in the face of uncertainties, it is desirable, and sometimes …

A case study is presented of the Adige River embankment, a segment of which experienced
instability of the landside slope due to the development of uplift pressures. Soil profile and …

The paper presents a computational procedure for reliability analysis of earth slopes for
which the probabilistic critical slip surfaces have been determined considering spatial …

Earthen levees are important earthen structures built along waterways for flood protection.
Many of the levees have lived out their design life. The reliability of these levees under …
