WU Ying-xiang, LIU Dong-sheng, SONG Qiang-hui, et al. Reliability analysis of slope dynamic stability based on strength reduction FEM[J]. 2013, 34(7).DOI:
The traditional strength reduction finite element method (SRFEM) is widely used in numerical analysis of slope stability. However
for the lack of considering geotechnical uncertainties
it still cannot be directly applied to the reliability analysis of slope stability
especially the dynamic stability problems. Thus
based on the SRFEM
the reliability analysis method of slope dynamic stability under seismic loading is proposed. In this method
the finite element limit analysis
dynamic analysis and reliability analysis are included to analyze the reliability problems of slope under seismic loading; and above process is realized in the numerical calculation program. For the traditional method
the acquirement of slope safety factor should be based on continuous manual pilot calculations
which makes batch processing impossible. But in the proposed method
above problem is solved through the improved slope dynamic failure criterion and the corresponding calculation program. The case study shows that the proposed method is significantly different from the general methods; it can relatively comprehensively reflect the dynamic characteristics of rock mass
the variability and correlation of material parameters. The results are closer to the reality. The proposed method not only widens the application scope of SRFEM
but also provides a new effective way for the reliability analysis of slope dynamic stability.
