Direct search for minimum reliability index of earth slopes

Bhattacharya, G. / Jana, D. / Ojha, S. / Chakraborty,, S.

AbstractThe paper presents a numerical procedure for locating the surface of minimum reliability index βmin for earth slopes. The procedure uses a formulation similar to that used to search for the surface of minimum factor of safety FSmin in a conventional slope stability analysis. The advantage of the formulation lies in enabling a direct search for the critical probabilistic surface by utilizing an existing deterministic slope stability algorithm with the addition of a simple module for the calculation of the reliability index β. Applications to several cases have helped to elucidate the successful working of the procedure.
