11 Analysis 2016(v1.1) Release Notes 1. [Slope] Probability and Sensitivity Analyses Almost all input parameters can be assigned a probability distribution, and compute a probability distribution of the resulting safety factors. Once the probability distribution of the safety factors are known, other quantifying parameters, such as the probability of failure can be determined. With a uniform probability distribution, the probabilistic scheme can also be used to conduct a sensitivity analysis. Limit Equilibrium > Ground Material Property > Material Statistic [ Parameter definition related to probability and sensitivity of material ] 11 / 21

12 Analysis 2016(v1.1) Release Notes 1. [Slope] Probability and Sensitivity Analyses The point where the two sensitivity curves cross is the deterministic factor of safety or the factor of safety at the mid-point of the ranges for each of the strength parameters. Histogram, Cumulative and Convergence type are supported for graph type of Probability Result. Results > Static Results > Sensitivity/Probability Result [ Illustration of sensitivity and probability result plot ] 12 / 21

13 Analysis 2016(v1.1) Release Notes 2. [Slope] Optimization Method in LEM Optimization method is introduced in slope stability analysis using LEM. It is the method finding the safety factor of critical failure surface by generating approximation model about relationship between the movement of polygon and safety factor and changing the slice of polygonal failure surface gradually. In other words, failure surface where the lowest safety factor is occurred is searched through iterative calculation from the failure surface where minimum safety factor is occurred. Analysis Design > Design and Report Control > Analysis Case > Analysis Control Data [ Setting Optimization method ] Boundary conditions of Arc Failure Surface, Polygonal Failure Surface, Auto-search Failure Surface, Arc Passing Limit and Tension Crack can be applied together. 13 / 21
