This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, grade: 3.74, Arba Minch University, language: English, abstract: Probabilistic methods of slope stability analysis accompanying conventional analyses provide the means for the reliability and probability of failure of the slope in a quantifying way. They provide us an important knowledge for stability condition of the slope. The essential requirement of the soil parameters is determined in the laboratory for the analysis of the slope meeting the insitu conditions. For the location of the phreatic surface three different scenarios were considered for the profile of the water surface to carry out the analysis. Effective strength parameters were considered to assess the long-term stability condition. The spatial variability of the random variables was incorporated into this model and by considering the contributions of the end resistance of 3-D probability of failure. The 3-D aspects of failure were investigated using FLAC3D software incorporating all the parameters of the soil to visualize the failure probability for the scenarios. Both normal and lognormal distribution of FOS were considered in order to compare and contrast the reliability and probabilities of failure in a measurable ways using NORMDIST and NORMSDIST program which is integrated in MS-EXCEL and from the probability density function table. The analysis gave that Probability of failure for normal distribution is higher than that of probability of failure for lognormal distribution. It was also attempted to investigate the best combination of the slope parameters to have the desirable target probability of failure for the scenarios and recommendation were made to provide geosynthetic reinforcement for stabilization and construct appropriate retaining wall with proper drainage as well as provision of sheet pile to achieve the desirable postulated probabilities of failure.

This book was released on with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stability of natural rock slopes is influenced by a wide spectrum of factors, such as mechanical properties of bedrocks and spatial distribution of discontinuities. Their specific values are typically incomplete, due mainly to the lack of effective and comprehensive methods to accurately characterize these factors, especially those inside of the slopes. The neutrosophic number is a useful tool to solve problems in indeterminate environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rainfall-induced landslides are common around the world. With global climate change, their frequency is increasing and the consequences are becoming greater. Previous studies assess them mostly from the perspective of a single discipline—correlating landslides with rainstorms, geomorphology and hydrology in order to establish a threshold prediction value for rainfall-induced landslides; analyzing the slope’s stability using a geomechanical approach; or assessing the risk from field records. Rainfall Induced Soil Slope Failure: Stability Analysis and Probabilistic Assessment integrates probabilistic approaches with the geotechnical modeling of slope failures under rainfall conditions with unsaturated soil. It covers theoretical models of rainfall infiltration and stability analysis, reliability analysis based on coupled hydro-mechanical modelling, stability of slopes with cracks, gravels and spatial heterogenous soils, and probabilistic model calibration based on measurement. It focuses on the uncertainties involved with rainfall-induced landslides and presents state-of-the art techniques and methods which characterize the uncertainties and quantify the probabilities and risk of rainfall-induced landslide hazards. Additionally, the authors cover: The failure mechanisms of rainfall-induced slope failure Commonly used infiltration and stability methods The infiltration and stability of natural soil slopes with cracks and colluvium materials Stability evaluation methods based on probabilistic approaches The effect of spatial variability on unsaturated soil slopes and more

Book excerpt: Dams are critical structures in the sense that damage or breach of even a small dam may cause an unacceptable loss of life and property. Therefore, the safety of dams over the intended lifespan is of utmost importance for unrestricted operation. The basic prerequisites for any safe and successful operation of a dam include state-of-the-art design, experimental investigations of the construction material and properties of the foundation, a refined theoretical analysis of relevant load cases, and high-quality construction. In the past decades, many advancements have been achieved in both construction technologies and design, including those for the prediction of the long-term behavior of dams under various loading conditions. As such, this book examines these advancements with respect to the design, construction, and performance of earth, rockfill, and concrete dams. Over eight chapters, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest progress and research in dam engineering.

This book was released on 2016-08-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to revisit geotechnical site characterization from a probabilistic point of view and provide rational tools to probabilistically characterize geotechnical properties and underground stratigraphy using limited information obtained from a specific site. This book not only provides new probabilistic approaches for geotechnical site characterization and slope stability analysis, but also tackles the difficulties in practical implementation of these approaches. In addition, this book also develops efficient Monte Carlo simulation approaches for slope stability analysis and implements these approaches in a commonly available spreadsheet environment. These approaches and the software package are readily available to geotechnical practitioners and alleviate them from reliability computational algorithms. The readers will find useful information for a non-specialist to determine project-specific statistics of geotechnical properties and to perform probabilistic analysis of slope stability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slope instability is one of the most common forms of dam failure. The commonly used slope stability analysis methods ignore the uncertainty and randomness of dam materials, which may overestimate the stability of dams. In this chapter, a deterministic slope stability analysis based on strength reduction finite-element method is introduced first. After that, the slope is investigated using simple probabilistic concepts and classical slope stability techniques, and the shear strength is treated as a single random variable. Further, the random finite-element method (RFEM) is shown, in which spatial correlation and local averaging are illustrated in detail. Finally, the RFEM is applied to slope stability risk assessment, and the results can lead to higher probabilities of failure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW PROBABILISTIC APPROACHES FOR REALISTIC RISK ASSESSMENT IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING. This text presents a thorough examination of the theories and methodologies available for risk assessment in geotechnical engineering, spanning the full range from established single-variable and "first order" methods to the most recent, advanced numerical developments. In response to the growing application of LRFD methodologies in geotechnical design, coupled with increased demand for risk assessments from clients ranging from regulatory agencies to insurance companies, authors Fenton and Griffiths have introduced an innovative reliability-based risk assessment method, the Random Finite Element Method (RFEM). The authors have spent more than fifteen years developing this statistically based method for modeling the real spatial variability of soils and rocks. As demonstrated in the book, RFEM performs better in real-world applications than traditional risk assessment tools that do not properly account for the spatial variability of geomaterials. This text is divided into two parts: Part One, Theory, explains the theory underlying risk assessment methods in geotechnical engineering. This part's seven chapters feature more than 100 worked examples, enabling you to develop a detailed understanding of the methods. Part Two, Practice, demonstrates how to use advanced probabilistic tools for several classical geotechnical engineering applications. Working with the RFEM, the authors show how to assess risk in problems familiar to all geotechnical engineers. All the programs used for the geotechnical applications discussed in Part Two may be downloaded from the authors' Web site at www.engmath.dal.ca/rfem/ at no charge, enabling you to duplicate the authors' results and experiment with your own data. In short, you get all the theory and practical guidance you need to apply the most advanced probabilistic approaches for managing uncertainty in geotechnical design.

Simplified Reliability Analyses for Geotechnical Problems written by E Kavazanjian (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, several approximate methods for determining the first and second moments of the probability density function of a random design variable have been presented. Once these moments are known, the probability of failure or reliability of the system can be calculated by assuming a distribution shape and using standard probability tables. This technique can be used on a variety of geotechnical problems to transform existing deterministic analyses into probabilistic design analyses. Examples of the application of the methodology developed herein are presented in the areas of shear strength, bearing capacity, and slope stability. The examples are used to illustrate how a reliability type of design analyses might be performed, the influence of the choice of distribution on calculated results, and the contrasts between conventional factor of safety analyses and probabilistic analyses. The point estimate method presented in this report is a simple and powerful tool that can be used in conjunction with any numerical analysis. By identifying the N random variables in a design analysis and assigning to them one sigma bounds to reflect subjective uncertainty or parameter variability, the mean and variances of the design parameters can be estimated from 2 to the nth point estimates. The primary obstacle to successful implementation of the techniques presented in this report is the lack of information on appropriate distribution shapes for various geotechnical design parameters.
