The impoundment of the 660-km long reservoir behind the huge Three Gorges Dam, the
world's largest hydropower station, increased regional seismicity and reactivated severe …

Modeling only constitutes one aspect of decision making. The prevailing limitation of
applying modeling to practice is the absence of explicit consideration of uncertainties. This …

Spatial variability of soil properties was rarely taken into account directly in traditional slope
stability analyses, rather some “average” or suitably “pessimistic” properties are assumed to …

Landslide is one of the repeated geological hazards during rainy season, which causes
fatalities, damage to property and economic losses in Korea. Landslides are responsible for …

This paper proposes a multiple response-surface method for slope reliability analysis
considering spatially variable soil properties. The scales of fluctuation of soil shear strength …

Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) provides a conceptually simple and robust method to
evaluate the system reliability of slope stability, particularly in spatially variable soils …

The random field finite element method (RF-FEM) provides a robust tool for carrying out
slope reliability analysis that incorporates the spatial variability of soil properties. However, it …

This paper proposes a non-intrusive stochastic finite element method for slope reliability
analysis considering spatially variable shear strength parameters. The two-dimensional …

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 …

Random finite element method (RFEM) provides a rigorous tool to incorporate spatial
variability of soil properties into reliability analysis and risk assessment of slope stability …
