Slope stability is always a very important topic in many developed and highly congested cities, particularly for many cities in China where slope failures have killed many people with significant loss of properties. The author has also participated in different types of slope stability research and consultancy works in different countries, and has published two books entitled Soil Slope stability analysis and stabilization new methods and insights and Frontier in civil engineering, vol.1, Stability analysis of geotechnical structures which are well favoured by many students, engineers and researchers. The author also frequently receives email about the details of the more innovative slope stability analysis methods, stabilization and monitoring system, as well as the procedures in the numerical implementation of some of the stability analysis methods. In views of the various improvements in the theory of slope stability analysis over the years, the author would like to write a new book on slope stability analysis and slope reliability analysis, and the new materials will be useful to both students, engineers as well as researchers. In this book, different methods of slope stability analysis will be discussed in a broad sense. Following that, the limit equilibrium and finite element methods will be discussed in more details, as these two methods are the methods commonly used for practical works. Detailed procedures for limit equilibrium analysis will be provided to aid the students in learning, while the program SLOPE2000 will be introduced for the solution of more complicated problems. Some interesting engineering cases will be illustrated in this book. The author will also try to introduce the use of distinct element slope stability method, which is a technique still far from practical applications, but it does offer some insights which are not possible with the other methods. Following that, the author will introduce the importance of reliability slope stability analysis, which is an important issue for cities with complicated ground conditions and high water table. Due to the intensive computation required for reliability analysis, the author has proposed many improvements to various reliability assessment methods in order to maintain a balance between accuracy and time of computation. The central core of SLOPE 2000 and SLOPE 3D for two-dimensional and three-dimensional slope stability analysis as introduced in this book are developed mainly by the author, while there are many research personnel who have helped in various works associated with the research works. The authors would like to thank Yip C.J., Wei W.B., Li N., Li L. Li D.Z. and Liu L.L. for the helps in preparing parts of the works and the preparation of some of the figures in this book.

The study and analysis of slopes are essential for understanding their performance and, in particular, their stability, reliability, and deformations. Traditional slope stability analysis involves predicting the location of the critical slip surface for a given slope and computing a safety factor at that location, which belongs to the deterministic frame. It is found that multiple sources of uncertainties often exist in the evaluation of slope stability. When assessing the stability of slopes in the face of risks, it is desirable, and sometimes necessary, to adopt reliability-based approaches that consider these uncertainties explicitly. The thesis develops an efficient methodology of soil modeling using maximum entropy based quantile distribution constrained by probability weighted moments, conducts field vane shear soil testing in the Nipigon river area and establishes the soil strength models. The research proposes a new reliability-based method to study the stability of the Nipigon river slope and carries out a reliability-based design of slopes by combining quantile-based reliability and multi-objective optimization. In general, the probability distribution describes the randomness of soil parameters collected empirically or tested by the few numbers of collected soil samples. However, the substantial effect of sample size on the estimation of random properties of the soil strength requires an extensive data to explore uncertainties, which is uneconomical and sometimes impossible to obtain. This study aims to consolidate recent advancement in probabilistic characterization and develops an inverse cumulative distribution function (ICDF) or quantile distribution, for direct quantification of the actual variability of various soil samples. Based on the analysis, a framework is developed that streamlines the formulation of probability weighted moments (PWM), and maximum entropy (MaxEnt) based distribution function for various soil properties when estimated using different field or laboratory tests, leading to a reliable procedure for applications of the proposed framework to different site characterization problems. Examples are provided to illustrate the implementation and step-by-step procedures of the proposed framework. This research further extends the reliability approach for slope stability problems and utilizes the first-order reliability method (FORM) with quantiles for improving the efficiency of the FORM with relatively small samples. Reliability analysis is combined with deterministic slope stability analysis and implemented using an efficient algorithm. The analysis is validated through comparison with other reliability methods and used to explore the effect of variability of the soil properties on slope system. It is found that, when variability of soil properties is defined by assuming a conventional distribution, the variance of factor of safety is overestimated or underestimated. The approach not only provides sufficiently accurate reliability estimates of slope stability but also significantly improves the computational efficiency of soil slope design in comparison with conventional design methods.
