When is it appropriate to use APEM - Alternate Point Estimation Method?
One of the primary drawbacks to a Monte Carlo analysis is the large number of model runs required in order to determine the relative confidence of each input variable on impacting the factor of safety. The Alternate Point Estimation Method (APEM) allows…
When is it appropriate to use dynamic programming?
Dynamic Programming Advantages:
Truly unrestrained non-circular slip surface
Can be used for weak layer detection in complex systems
A conventional slope stability analysis involving limit equilibrium methods of slices consists of the calculation…
