Copula-Based Slope Reliability Analysis Using the Failure Domain Defined by the g-Line

The estimation of the cross-correlation of shear strength parameters (i.e., cohesion and internal friction angle) and the subsequent determination of the probability of failure have long been challenges in slope reliability analysis. Here, a copula-based approach is proposed to calculate the probabi...
