Issues of Reliability in Stability of Slopes
Reliability methods have found increasing use throughout geotechnical engineering, including the evaluation of slope stability. The current state of practice incorporates several computational methodologies. Much work has been devoted to establishing the appropriate values of the input parameters and to identifying the sources and types of uncertainty. However, most people, whether technically trained or not, have considerable difficulty understanding the meaning of results expressed as probabilities of failure. Some methods of presentation, such as the F-N plot, can enhance the presentation reliability results, but getting across their meaning and implications remains a challenge. Much work remains to be done in this area.
