the slope failure probability decreases from more than 10% to about 0.1%. It is obvious
that the values of
S
uL
have significant effects on slope failure probability. Such effects are
explicitly quantified from the Bayesian analysis of failure samples. Variations of failure
results from such repeated simulation runs by open triangles. The open triangles follow
a trend similar to the open squares (i.e., the Bayesian analysis results). This validates the
Bayesian analysis results.
