Abstract:Approximate analytical methods have been frequently used in geotechnical engineering to estimate the reliability of geotechnical structures due to their efficiency and simplicity. The main spirit of these methods is using the moments of the limit state function to estimate the reliability index. However, the moments are strongly dependent on the form of the limit state function, resulting in the fact that these methods are sensitive to the form of limit state functions. This study aims to systematically explor… Show more
