Effect of spatial variability on the slope stability using Random Field Numerical Limit Analyses

This paper presents a probabilistic approach to evaluating the geotechnical stability problem by incorporating the stochastic spatial variability of soil property within the numerical limit analyses (NLAs). The undrained shear strength and unit weight of soil are treated as a random field which is c...
