Behaviour of reinforced embankment on soft ground and reliablity analysis

Stability analysis of slopes or embankments is greatly affected by uncertainty of soil properties. The current design practice is based on the factor of safety which cannot directly reflect the input uncertainty. Probabilistic stability analysis is a rational way to incorporate uncertainty in the de...
