As shown by the examples presented herein, the spatial correlation of shear strength can have an important influence on slope performance expressed by the probability of failure. This is a significant observation, since ignoring the influence of spatial correlation in design may lead to unconservative estimations of slope reliability.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:00 AEDT ]]> Numerical modeling of pore pressure influence on fracture evolution in brittle heterogeneous rocks https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16726 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:32 AEDT ]]> Prediction of pile settlement in an elastic soil https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20772 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:00:21 AEDT ]]> Initiation pressure, location and orientation of hydraulic fracture https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21819 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:44 AEDT ]]> Simplified quantitative risk assessment of rainfall-induced landslides modelled by infinite slopes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20905 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:54 AEDT ]]> Spatial correlation length of normalized cone data in sand: case study in the north of Denmark https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19839 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:04 AEDT ]]> Integrating Eurocode 7 (load and resistance factor design) using nonconventional factoring strategies in slope stability analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19138 d ≤ Rd — the effects of all the actions, Ed, with the corresponding resistance of the ground, Rd. Although this method considers different loading conditions by using suitable combinations of design values, it is still based on direct comparison of the available shear strength with the mobilized stresses. In the present paper, various factoring strategies (in addition to the traditional one with respect to shear strength of soils) are integrated into a limit-state method framework. Eurocode 7 has been chosen for this purpose. The whole procedure aims at giving a more comprehensive insight into the design of slopes and the sensitivity of safety level of slopes to the various parameters. In addition, the proposed methodology, as shown, may result in a safety level of slopes significantly lower than the respective one obtained using the limit-state method in its traditional form. As man-made slopes that conform to design standards often fail in practice, even though conservative input values are used, these failures must be treated with more skepticism by practitioners adopting supplementary design practices such the one presented herein.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:56 AEDT ]]> Quantitative risk assessment of landslide by limit analysis and random fields https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16837 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:25 AEDT ]]> Risk assessment in geotechnical engineering: stability analysis of highly variable soils https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21341 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:49 AEDT ]]> Homogenization of geomaterials using the random finite element method https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19180 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:17 AEDT ]]> Effect of spatial variability on failure mechanism location in random undrained slopes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26863 48°, both correlation length and slope angle have no influence on the proportion of toe failures.

Subset simulation is one of most efficient variance reduction techniques for the simulation of small pf. It has been recently proposed to use subset simulation instead of direct Monte Carlo simulation in RFEM. It is noted, however, that subset simulation requires calculation of the factor of safety (FS), while direct Monte Carlo requires only the examination of failure or non-failure. The search for the FS in RFEM could be a tedious task. For example, the search for the FS of slope stability by the strength reduction method (SRM) usually requires much more computational time than a failure or non-failure checking. In this paper, the subset simulation is combined with RFEM, but the need for the search of FS is eliminated. The value of yield function in an elastoplastic finite element analysis is used to measure the safety margin instead of the FS. Numerical experiments show that the proposed approach gives the same level of accuracy as the traditional subset simulation based on FS, but the computational time is significantly reduced. Although only examples of slope stability are given, the proposed approach will generally work for other types of geotechnical applications.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:48 AEDT ]]> Determining an appropriate finite element size for modelling the strength of undrained random soils https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22894 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:18 AEDT ]]> A general solution for 1D consolidation induced by depth- and time-dependent changes in stress https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24286 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:14:42 AEDT ]]> Homogenization of geomaterials containing voids by random fields and finite elements https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23820 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:12:50 AEDT ]]> Random Field Analysis of Laterally Loaded Monopile Foundations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53718 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:27:28 AEDT ]]> Numerical analysis of effective elastic properties of geomaterials containing voids using 3D random fields and finite elements https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18637 Mon 20 Jul 2015 16:45:14 AEST ]]> Stability of earth slopes.
