Some Remarks on the Use of Deterministic and Probabilistic Approaches in the Evaluation of Rock Slope Stability [PDF]
The rock slope stability assessment can be performed by means of deterministic and probabilistic approaches. As the deterministic analysis needs only representative values (generally, the mean value) for each physical and geo-mechanical parameter ...
