Abstract EN
Designing the geometry of soil slope is an effective treatment for preventing slope failure.
How to deal with the uncertainties involved in soil parameters in geotechnical design is a main concern of geotechnical engineers.
In this study, a robust geotechnical design for soil slopes (RGDS) approach was proposed, in which the Uncertainty Theory was introduced to describe explicitly the uncertainties involved in soil parameters.
The uncertain reliability is often used to describe the risk of slope failure.
The design robustness describing the insensitivity between the variation in the system response and the variation of input uncertain soil parameters was evaluated by the signal-to-noise ratio.
The objectives of this design are to maximize the design robustness, minimize the excavation cost, and guarantee the safety (maximize the uncertain reliability).
Therefore, the RGDS was formulated as a multiobjective optimization, and the optimal design can be determined based on the concepts of Pareto front and knee point.
The proposed RGDS approach was illustrated through a numerical case of a two-layer slope design.
The numerical results indicate that the RGDS approach is not only more intuitive and easier to follow but also more computationally efficient.
