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 …

This report discusses the challenges associated with geotechnical design through a review
of research on the reliability analysis of geotechnical structures. This report is organized into …

Reliability analysis approach provides a rational means to quantitatively evaluate the safety
of geotechnical structures from a probabilistic perspective. However, it suffers from a known …

Recently, the random field finite element method (RF-FEM) has attracted significantly
increasing attention in the field of geotechnical engineering, especially for the purpose of …

Geotechnical characterization of a project site for engineering applications is indispensable
in engineering geology and geotechnical engineering, and there are many unavoidable …

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

This study investigates the occurrence and evolution of various slope failure modes during
large deformation in spatially variable soils using Monte Carlo simulation combined with …

In geotechnical engineering, the number of measurement data obtained from in situ or
laboratory tests is usually sparse, especially for projects of small or medium size …

Abstract Random field Monte Carlo (MC) reliability analysis is a robust stochastic method to
determine the probability of failure. This method, however, requires a large number of …

Based on the strength reduction method, the laws of slope displacement and the changing
positions of the sliding surface during the filling process are studied. The model of multistage …
