Spatial variability is one of the major sources of uncertainty in geotechnical applications.
This variability is characterized customarily by the scale of fluctuation. Scale of fluctuation …

Many analytical and numerical analysis and design methods for geosynthetic-reinforced soil
structures require a single-value (constant) estimate of reinforcement stiffness. However …

Conventionally adopted deterministic slope stability analyses do not consider the influence
of uncertainties related to geotechnical properties as well as failure mechanism in slope …

The 2D random finite element method and the one-dimensional and 2D random limit
equilibrium method are used to investigate the influence of spatial variability of soil strength …

Circular failure can be seen in weak rocks, the slope of soil, mine dump, and highly jointed
rock mass. The challenging issue is to accurately predict the safety factor (SF) and the …

Slope stability analysis based on the finite element method (FEM) is a powerful tool
compared with the limit equilibrium (LEM) methods. However, mesh distortion of the …

The maintenance of safety and dependability in rail and road embankments is of utmost
importance in order to facilitate the smooth operation of transportation networks. This study …

The successful application of geosynthetic reinforcement in granular soil motivates
additional research into the practicality of geosynthetics in cohesive soils. The shear …

This study focuses on the evaluation of stability for a typical unsaturated Soil Nailing Wall
System (SNWS), considering variations in soil shear strength, suction, and elasticity …

Probabilistic stability analyses of constructed wrapped-face reinforced slopes (or
embankments) using frictional soils were carried out using the random finite element method …
