Deterministic and Probabilistic Approach in Slope Stability of a Tropical Soil
Abstract—The stability of natural slopes in tropical regions is subject to erodibility due to the high periods of drought and rainfall. Thus, slope stability analysis is of great value for places subject to erosion. In addition, consideration of the dispersion of soil parameters used in stability calculations is important for a complete understanding of the failure probability of structures. Therefore, this paper analyzes the stability of a natural slope located in Luziânia, Goiás - Brazil and a study of the Probability of Failure by the probabilistic methods FOSM and PEM. In this study was showed distinct safety factors for the analysis in question.
Index Terms—slope stability, probability of failure, FOSM, PEM
