The influence of correlation between strength indicators of soil properties on the results of slope stability calculations

One of the most important areas of substantiating and ensuring the safety of buildings and structures is the risk assessment of originating geological processes. For more reliable assessments when solving problems of Engineering Geology, calculating not only the deterministic component of some engineering-geological process (as it has been often done so far), but also its random component is necessary. No risk analysis or design on the basis of the reliability theory can be performed without probabilistic analysis with the use of only the stability coefficient. Therefore, further development of probabilistic approaches to the calculations is required. The presented article demonstrates the efficiency and necessity of stochastic analysis by the example of slope stability calculation.
