Seepage failure of high earth-rockfill dams have devastating consequences, and its safety
analysis is of great importance in the design phase. However, the highest safety standards …

This paper presents a practical approach for reliability analysis of steady-state seepage by
modeling spatial variability of the soil permeability. The traditional semi-analytical method; …

The maintenance of safety and dependability in rail and road embankments is of utmost
importance in order to facilitate the smooth operation of transportation networks. This study …

The use of probabilistic analysis (PA) of slopes as an effective method for evaluating the
uncertainty that is so pervasive in variables has become increasingly common in recent …

Historically, seepage failure has always been the primary cause of failures and accidents of
earth dams after overtop**. However, research on the reliability of earth dams against …

The safety of embankments under seismic conditions is a primary concern for geotechnical
engineering societies. The reliability analysis approach offers an effective tool to quantify the …

Decomposition of concrete calcium compounds in the leaching process constantly changed
the concrete gravity dam's sliding and resisting forces, which endangered project safety …

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 …

Assessing the overtop** risk has become a necessity in face of ever-changing, extreme
weather conditions. This study proposed a novel probabilistic framework to evaluate the …

Spatially correlated random field realizations are often required in geotechnical applications.
Examples include (1) modeling soil inherent variability and (2) representing earthquake …
