<p>Article shows the typical examples of mathematical models realization of probabilistic description of random variables (RV) distribution of geotechnical characteristics and the heterogeneity parameters according to data of laboratory and field tests of ...

<p>Risk analysis tools were implemented during closing activities on radioactive mill tailings disposal Bor&scaron;t, affected by a landslide. The probability of landsliding before and after remediation works was calculated and expressed through relaiability ...

The objective of this paper is to examine the influence of correlation length and hydraulic conductivity distribution on the probability of failure of a clay liner system. To achieve this objective, a two-dimensional (in plan) clayey liner system is simulated ...

A risk study was carried out at the Cerrejon coal mine in order to assess the impacts of pit slope failure in terms of safety of personnel and destruction of equipment with economic consequences. Results of the assessment enabled the definition of risk treatment ...

By merging elasto-plastic finite element analysis with random field theory, an investigation has been performed into the stability of an undrained clay slope with spatially varying shear strength. The results of the study lead to a direct comparison between ...
