Abstract:Because spatial variability often exists in natural soil slope,which is mainly dominated by its geologic origin under the same soil parameters statistical variability,the slope stability is not really same. Traditional deterministic slope stability analysis method and reliability slope stability analysis method based on random variable model can not deal with the geologic origin of slope mass. The scale of fluctuation of soil parameters can be estimated by its geologic origin. Thus geologic origin can be included in the slope stability analysis framework by means of scale of fluctuation of soil parameters. Reliability analysis of soil slope stability considering geologic origin employing 1D random field and first order reliability method(FORM) is proposed and its specific analysis flow is also introduced. The proposed analysis method is illustrated by an example of embankment. Example calculation results indicate that spatial variability of parameters of rock and soil has great influence on slope stability. Estimation of scale of fluctuation of soil properties through geologic origin provides a realistic solution for the reasonable consideration of spatial variability of soil parameters in reliability analysis of slope stability. The proposed method is practically applicable and quite valuable for practice.
