Probabilistic Methods Applied to Unsaturated Numerical Modeling
Abstract The numerical modeling of unsaturated soil processes is becoming more prevalent worldwide. Although numerical modeling is becoming increasingly accepted in geotechnical engineering practice, care must be exercised and improper modeling techniques and procedures must be avoided. Many issues such as nodal resolution and imperfect convergence can result in inaccurate solutions. Unfortunately, analyses of highly nonlinear unsaturated soil flow and slope stability models can significantly increase the modeling time required. As a result, there is a trend to reduce the number of model runs. Results are often presented to client as single model runs or simplistic sensitivity analysis. This paper presents methodologies for applying probabilistic methods to unsaturated soils seepage and slope stability analysis models. The focus is on the application of the alternative point estimate method to practical problems in such a way as to minimize the number of model runs. The demonstration of a successful application to a waste rock pile is presented.
