Abstract

This paper details a method for investigating the stability of a layered slope that combines random field theory with horizontal integration. Both the cohesion and friction coefficient are treated as a Gaussian random field. The closed-form solution of the factor of safety and the probability of failure of the layered slope are derived, in which the effects of spatial correlation lengths and spatial correlation parameters on the stability of the layered slope are considered. The derived probability of failure is greatly affected by the input spatial correlation length of the soil parameters. The effectiveness of this proposed method is validated with the results of the Monte Carlo simulation.
