Measurement and Modeling of Anisotropic Spatial Variability of Soils for Probabilistic Stability Analysis of Earth Slopes

Geotechnical engineering design has relied upon deterministic methods of analysis whereby values for analysis parameters and conditions are selected subjectively based on judgment with the intent of providing acceptable margins of safety. The objective of this research was to improve the use of pro...
