Spatial Variability of the Undrained Strength of Clays
Akira Asaoka,Dimitri A-Grivas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple yet accurate procedure for the description of the spatial variability of the undrained shear strength S u of soft clays is presented. But the results of the applied analysis verify previous findings on the vertical variability of S u and demonstrates the applicability of the present procedure in the commonly encountered situations with limited data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probabilistic Model of Progressive Failure of Slopes
Robin Chowdhury,Dimitri A-Grivas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a probabilistic model for the progression of failure in a soil slope is presented, where failure progression is defined as a spatial and continuous extension of the failure zone along a potential slip surface in a statistically homogeneous medium.

Slope safety prediction under static and seismic loads
Dimitri A-Grivas,Akira Asaoka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified procedure permitting the determination of the probability of failure of natural or man-built slopes under static and seismic conditions is presented, where limit equilibrium is expressed as a function of the soil strength parameters (random variables), the numerical values of which are obtained from strength tests under drained conditions.
