The Sensitivity and Reliability Analysis of Slope Stability Based on Strength Reduction FEM

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new method for reliability and sensitivity analysis of slope stability is proposed in this paper, which is based on strength reduction FEM. In this proposed method, the safety factor of slope can be calculated without assuming the shape and position of failure surface beforehand, and the randomness of physical and mechanical parameters of slope are considered in the calculation process. Meanwhile, the slopes failure probability is researched when the coefficients of variability change, and some useful conclusions are achieved.
