Stratigraphic uncertainty is widely present in nature, but it has not been well considered the stability analysis of unsaturated soil slopes past. In this study, slope evaluated based on borehole data considering stratigraphic uncertainty. Firstly, an enhanced coupled Markov chain model used to simulate Then, a finite element algorithm for automatically calculating safety factor (FS) and averag...

although some 3d slope stability algorithms have been proposed in recent three decades, still role of pore pressures in three dimensional slope stability analyses and considering the effects of pore water pressure in 3d slope stability studies needs to be investigated. in this paper, a limit analysis formulation for investigation of role of the pore water pressure in three dimensional slope sta...

One of the most effective parameters in economics of open-pit mines is the pit slope angle, so that the slope angle more than the optimum value increases the probability of a large failure in the pit wall and the slope angle less than the optimum value leads to increasing stripping ratio and reducing net present value of mine. Therefore, in this paper, considering the limit equilibrium methods ...
