Rainfall infiltration poses a disastrous threat to the slope stability in many regions around the
world. This paper proposes an extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)-based stochastic …

Conditional random field model can make best use of limited site investigation data to
properly characterize the spatial variation of soil properties. This paper aims to propose a …

The objective of this paper is to investigate the bearing capacity of spatially varying soil in
the presence of non-stationary feature of undrained shear strength. Firstly, undrained shear …

The spatial variability of soil properties is often assumed to be modeled as stationary or
weakly stationary random fields in slope reliability analyses. However, abundant site …

Based on recently published deterministic solutions as a benchmark, the random finite-
element method is used here to investigate the influence of spatial variability on the …

A conical slope is widely used in many constructions of in situ piles, piers, footings, mat
foundations, raft foundations, energy storages, or water tanks since this unsupported …

New plasticity solutions to the drained stability of conical slopes in homogeneous cohesive-
frictional soils were investigated by axisymmetric finite element limit analysis. Three …

This article proposes an efficient procedure for the probabilistic seismic analysis of slopes
and applies it to two slope examples including a real engineering project. The proposed …

Using recently obtained deterministic results as a benchmark, probabilistic slope stability
analyses have been performed on an undrained slope using the random finite element …

Circular shafts are commonly used to construct accesses to facilitate tunnel boring machine
works and can be used as ventilation systems, subway stations or emergency exits. This …
