Slope Reliability Analysis Using Stochastic FEM with Dynamic Programming Method
Hailin Ye · Chinese Journal of Underground Space and Engineering · 2007
The dynamic programming method combined with the stochastic FEM is proposed to analyze the slope reliability problems.The reliability of element nodes are obtained from the FEM program ANSYS Mente Carlo Latin Hypercube Sampling simulation and the critical slip surface is searched by the dynamic programming method.The global minimum reliability of slip surface can be found by the critical slip surface.A numerical example is analyzed to show the feasibility of the proposed method.
