Probabilistic Analysis of a Nailed Wall: Use of the Random Field Theory and Ordered Weighted Averaging Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study aimed to emphasize the significance of spatial variability in soil strength parameters on the behavior of nailed walls, highlighting the necessity of probabilistic design approaches. The investigation involved ...
LRFD Calibration of Simple Soil-Structure Limit States Considering Method Bias and Design Parameter Variability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
NURBS Surface-Altering Optimization for Identifying Critical Slip Surfaces in 3D Slopes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The evaluation of slope stability of a three-dimensional slope requires identifying the critical slip surface with the minimum factor of safety, which is a complex optimization problem. Failure to identify the critical ...
Spline Search for Slip Surfaces in 3D Slopes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A novel method involving the transformation of spline surfaces is introduced to search for the critical slip surface in a three-dimensional (3D) slope, which corresponds to the minimum limit equilibrium method factor of ...
Noncircular Deterministic and Stochastic Slope Stability Analyses and Design of Simple Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Slopes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the behavior of simple soil slopes reinforced with geosynthetics using deterministic and stochastic as well as circular and noncircular limit equilibrium method (LEM) of slope stability ...
