Fragility functions and demand hazard curves are important metrics for assessing the
seismic damage and risk of an engineering system. This study aims at conducting seismic …

The surrogate models become increasingly used in slope reliability problems, in which the
expensive-to-evaluate slope deterministic analysis model is replaced with the cheap-to …

The results of slope seismic safety evaluation are affected by the uncertainty of geotechnical
material parameters, seismic dynamic characteristics, safety evaluation indexes and other …

This study addresses the complexities encountered when integrating site-specific field data
into the Bayesian inverse analysis of soil parameters in geotechnical structures. Traditional …

In engineering practice, Bayesian model updating using field data is often conducted to
reduce the substantial inherent epistemic uncertainties in geomaterial properties resulting …

The uncertain mechanical parameters of clay layer under torrential rain are the key to the
dynamic evolution process and stability assessment of landslide geological hazards. Due to …

Slope failure mechanism and reliability assessment under rainfall usually not only ignores
the nonstationary characteristics of soil hydraulic and shear strength parameters, but also …

A three-dimensional representation of the random distribution of fractures in rock masses,
known as the discrete fracture network (DFN), is widely used to analyze the stability of …

The safety assessment of structural defects in operational shield tunnels is crucial for
ensuring their serviceability and safe operation. This study developed a novel …

Generic models for estimating the earthquake-induced displacement of Earth slopes are
developed based on a numerical approach. A number of 14,112 slope models with different …
