TLDR
In this paper, the factors of safety and the locations of critical failure surfaces obtained by the limit equilibrium method and strength reduction method are compared for various slopes, and it is found that the results from these two methods are generally in good agreement except when ϕ′ is zero.

Probabilistic stability analyses of slopes using the ANN-based response surface

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical procedure for integrating a commercial finite difference method into a probabilistic analysis of slope stability is presented, where an artificial neural network (ANN)-based response surface is adopted to approximate the limit state function, thereby reducing the number of stability analysis calculations.

Three-dimensional slope failure analysis by the strength reduction and limit equilibrium methods

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D slope stability analysis is performed by the strength reduction method (SRM) and the limit equilibrium method (LEM) for simple slopes, and the authors have discovered many interesting results which appear to be surprising, but a more detailed analysis by the SRM and LEM along with some physical insight have suggested that these results may be true for simple slope.

Slope stability prediction for circular mode failure using gradient boosting machine approach based on an updated database of case histories

TL;DR: In this paper, a gradient boosting machine (GBM) was used to predict the slope stability of the circular slope in the R Environment software, trained and tested with the parameters obtained from the detailed investigation of 221 actual slope cases between 1994 and 2011 with circular mode failure available in the literature.

Slope stability analysis using the limit equilibrium method and two finite element methods

TL;DR: In this article, the factors of safety and critical slip surfaces obtained by the limit equilibrium method (LEM) and two finite element methods (the enhanced limit strength method (ELSM) and strength reduction method (SRM)) are compared.

Strength reduction analysis for slope reinforced with one row of piles

TL;DR: In this article, the critical slip surface is divided into two parts when the pile spacing is small, and these two parts gradually get connected with the increase of pile spacing until a clear critical slip surfaces is formed.

Associated and non-associated visco-plasticity and plasticity in soil mechanics

TL;DR: The visco-plastic model is established as a realistic general description of soil behaviour as well as a computationally convenient fiction for solving any properly formulated plasticity problem as discussed by the authors.

Slope stability analysis by strength reduction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of the shear strength reduction technique with the method of slices for a homogeneous embankment and showed that the latter is more accurate than the former.

Finite element slope stability analysis by shear strength reduction technique

TL;DR: In this paper, a shear strength reduction technique for finite element slope stability analysis was developed by the authors, where the slope failure is defined according to the shear strain failure criterion.
