... creep stiffness using this method is the largest of the three methods described here. Performance functions for the three limit states in this study, the four different probabilistic analysis approaches adopted, the three different methods to compute uncertainty in reinforcement stiffness...

...H. Liu; J. Zheng; R. Zhang; P. Xie Probabilistic analysis is an important step in assessing the reliability of geosynthetic reinforced slopes. In this paper, a practical procedure is developed to implement probabilistic stability analysis for reinforced slope considering both the spatial...

... Carlo simulations required to carry out probabilistic analysis of numerical models with a large number of problem parameters. A numerical model is verified using performance data from three physical full-scale laboratory walls, and is then used to generate a large synthetic database of numerical results...

... mechanisms. A wider range of simple geosynthetic reinforced soil slope cases are examined in the current study than those reported in the earlier related work by Kitch (1994) and Kitch et al. (2011) . Ferreira et al. (2016) also carried out probabilistic analysis of simple...
