System Reliability Analysis of Slope Stability of Earth Rock Dams Based on Finite Element Strength Reduction Method

To overcome the limitations of rigid body limit equilibrium methods in earth rock dam slope stability analysis, this study develops a system reliability framework using the finite element strength reduction method (FEM-SRM). An elastoplastic finite element model simulates dam construction and impoun...
