Reliability analysis of soil slope based on upper bound method of limit analysis
The upper bound numerical method for reliability analysis of soil slopes is proposed
by combining the theory of upper bound limit analysis
finite element discretization
stochastic programming theory and Monte Carlo method. Firstly
three-node finite element is used to discrete the soil slope
and then shear strength parameters of soil are set as random variable. According to the upper bound theorem
kinematically admissible velocity fields are established to satisfy the plastic flow constraint conditions of triangular finite elements
the plastic flow constraint conditions of velocity discontinuities and the velocity boundary conditions. The objective function is established based on the internal and the energy-work balance equation. Then the upper bound limit method stochastic programming model of soil slope reliability analysis are established. The Monte Carlo method is used to solve the upper bound stochastic programming model. At the same time
an estimation method for coefficient of slope failure risk based on velocity field of upper bound method is proposed
it is especially suitable for slope risk analysis with multiple failure modes. Finally
two examples of soil slope are selected
and the results prove the correctness of the method.
