Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of geological engineering reliability analysis, and in particular to an efficient reliability analysis method for rock slopes taking into account non-Gaussian correlated random variables. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid advancement of engineering technology and the continued advancement of scientific research, the quantitative assessment of slope stability by treating geotechnical parameters as random variables and ingeniously integrating advanced probabilistic statistical theories and techniques has become a widely practiced and highly acclaimed scientific paradigm within the industry. Despite significant achievements in probabilistic slope stability assessment, researchers continue to face numerous challenges and difficulties in their long-term practical journey. These challenges stem primarily from the extreme complexity and multi-factor nature of slope stability assessment systems, forcing researchers to continuously explore new approaches and optimize existing methods, aiming to develop more efficient, accurate, and adaptable probabilistic assessment models and procedures to meet the increasingly complex needs of slope stability assessment.
[0003] In recent years, researchers have gradually realized that relying solely on Gaussian correlation structures to model the correlations between random variables often fails to fully and accurately reflect the complex correlations between geotechnical parameters in real-world scenarios, prompting the search for more sophisticated and adaptable modeling methods. Consequently, Copula theory has attracted considerable attention for its ability to accurately model complex multidimensional joint distributions between random variables. Its core principle lies in its ingenious decomposition of the multidimensional joint distribution into independent marginal distributions and a core Copula function. This revolutionary approach not only intuitively reveals the inherent connections between random variables but also precisely quantifies their correlation characteristics, providing a powerful tool for in-depth understanding and analysis of complex systems. Particularly noteworthy is the diversity of Copula function types, each with unique correlation structure characteristics, offering a wide range of options for detailed analysis of random variable correlations in diverse application scenarios. Furthermore, first-order reliability methods, with their exceptional efficiency and practicality, have emerged as a promising approach for addressing the challenges of reliability assessment for nonlinear performance functions. This method cleverly uses the first-order Taylor expansion of the performance function in an independent standard normal space near the design point to simplify complex nonlinear functions into intuitive and easy-to-solve linear expressions. This transformation not only greatly simplifies the calculation process and reduces the calculation cost, but also ensures the high accuracy and reliability of the evaluation results, becoming an indispensable and efficient tool for dealing with such problems.
[0004] However, given that the inherent characteristics of geotechnical parameters are often nonnormal and correlated, researchers face a key challenge when applying the first-order reliability method framework based on Copula theory: the need to map these complex, correlated, nonnormal geotechnical parameters into independent standard normal random variables. This transformation process is not only difficult to understand but also significantly exacerbates the nonlinearity of the performance function, thereby introducing potential instability into the iterative solution process for the design point. Specifically, this nonlinear enhancement directly leads to a sharp decline in the iterative convergence rate and sometimes even leads to convergence failure, manifested as periodic fluctuations or chaos within a specific solution set, significantly hindering computational efficiency and the reliability of the results. In some extreme cases, the iterations may even completely diverge and fail to converge to a valid solution, requiring researchers to adopt more sophisticated numerical processing strategies or algorithm optimization measures to ensure the stability of the analysis process and the accuracy of the results. These issues have significantly restricted the widespread application and in-depth development of the first-order reliability method based on Copula theory in the field of geotechnical engineering reliability analysis, and have led to a severe challenge in the balance between accuracy and practicality.
[0005] In summary, the field of geological engineering urgently needs an innovative reliability analysis method that combines robustness, efficiency, and practicality. This method can efficiently handle non-Gaussian random variables directly in physical space. The core of this method lies in directly placing the iterative calculation of the design point in physical space, giving the iterative process an intuitive and easy-to-understand physical meaning while significantly enhancing its stability. This groundbreaking technology not only precisely meets the practical needs of geological engineering, especially slope reliability analysis, but also provides solid and reliable technical support for engineering designers. It is also committed to playing a core role in the safety assessment, stable operation, and long-term maintenance of geological engineering projects. Summary of the Invention

[0147] As can be seen from the results of this example, the rock slope reliability analysis method of the present invention, which considers non-Gaussian correlated random variables, converges quickly and accurately to the correct design point on the limit state curve in only eight iterations. The entire process is intuitively executed in physical space, completely eliminating cumbersome variable conversion steps, making it perfectly suitable for processing complex reliability analysis scenarios involving non-Gaussian correlated random variables. Therefore, the core advantage of the present invention is that it gives the iterative process an intuitive physical meaning, greatly promoting the intuitive understanding and operational convenience of researchers and engineers. At the same time, by optimizing the algorithm structure, it significantly enhances the robustness and convergence efficiency of the iterative calculation, effectively circumvents the iterative divergence problem that may be encountered in traditional methods, and ensures the reliability and accuracy of the analysis results.
