| Abstract | The paper presents a computational procedure for reliability analysis of earth slopes in which the probabilistic critical slip surface is located using a mathematical programming formulation similar to that used to search for the deterministic critical slip surface in a conventional slope stability analysis. The procedure is based on the First Order Reliability Method (FORM) in conjunction with the Spencer method for evaluation of factor of safety of general slip surfaces and the Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) technique of optimization. When applied to two benchmark illustrative examples, the procedure yields the probabilistic critical slip surfaces which are reasonable and the values of the associated minimum reliability indices are close to or lower than those reported by different investigators using different methodologies, and compare well with those from the direct Monte-Carlo simulation method (MCS). Further, the developed procedure has been made use of to investigate another important aspect of reliability analysis, namely, how the results of reliability analyses vary with the probability distributions assumed for the basic random variables. Three most commonly assumed distributions, namely, normal, lognormal and truncated normal distributions have been considered. The results indicate that the lognormal assumption used solely to ensure non-negativity of the basic variables might lead to non-conservative prediction of probability of failure. Whether the effect of such distributional assumption is consistent when the coefficients of variation (COVs) of the basic random variables vary within their respective ranges has also been investigated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
