Factor of Safety and Reliability Analysis of Rock Slope using GEO5 Software

The entire earth consist of so many varieties of rock minerals which compositely for an entire rock mass which may be natural or artificial rock slopes which are at the level of the ground itself or it may be a deepest cuts or the hill slopes above the ground level. The factor of safety plays a major role in rock slope analysis. Due to the uncertainty involved in the calculation of rock parameters the application of factor of safety is widely used in analysis. Theses factor of safety are determined here by using Geo5 demo version software based on the uncertainty involved in the various rock parameters. The simple reliability analysis will provides the means of combined effect of uncertainty involved in calculations. The additional parameters such as standard deviation, mean, reliability index are used to determine the probability of failure of the rock slope. This probability of failure will helps to determine the reliability of the rock slope which in turn gives the idea of the stability of rock slope for any future recommendations regarding the actions for their stability.
