Effect of 2D spatial variability on slope reliability: A simplified FORM analysis

To meet the high demand for reliability based design of slopes, we present in this paper a simplified HLRF (Hasofer–Lind–Rackwitz–Fiessler) iterative algorithm for first-order reliability method (FORM). It is simply formulated in x-space and requires neither transformation of correlated random varia...
