Comparison of Point Estimate and Monte Carlo probabilistic methods in stability analysis of a deep excavation

Abstract Geotechnical engineers have long used the lumped factor of safety approach in design of retaining walls. In recent years, uncertainty inherent in soil properties has caught more attentions from researchers, thus reliability analyses are used widely. In short, combining the probabilistic and...
