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 …

Geotechnical reliability analysis provides a novel way to rationally take the underlying
geotechnical uncertainties into account and evaluate the stability of geotechnical structures …

Abstract The Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) is one of the most important areas for
landslide prevention and mitigation in China. Rational reliability analysis of reservoir slope …

Abstract The Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) is one of the most important landslide-
prone regions in China, and rational stability evaluation of reservoir slopes in it is of great …

The inherent spatial variability of soil properties is the main sauces of uncertainties in the
site investigation, and it is commonly characterized using random field theory. In the context …

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 …

The representation of spatial variation of soil properties in the form of random fields permits
advanced probabilistic assessment of slope stability. In many studies, the safety margin of …

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 …

A novel methodology that involves the coupling of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
and a data augmentation technique is proposed for slope reliability calculations. The …

Geological uncertainty is common in nature due to complex depositional processes as one
layer appears to be randomly embedded in neighbouring layers. However, the geo …
