- Description
- This paper presents the results of probabilistic analyses in slope stability problems using the Random Finite Element Method (RFEM). The influence of spatially variable soil properties on design outcomes relating to slope stability analysis has been assessed through parametric studies, with focus on the "worst case" (critical) spatial correlation length that leads to a minimum reliability of the soil mass. This critical value is of particular interest, because it could be used for design in the absence of good site specific data.
