Studying the effect of a variation in the main parameters on stability of homogeneous earth dams using design experiment

Deterministic approaches such as the limit equilibrium method (LEM) especially Bishop modified method has been traditionally used to evaluate the stability of embankment dams. However, the uncertainty associated with the material properties necessitates the use of the probabilistic method to account...
