Machine learning aided stochastic slope stability analysis

Abstract

This paper presents the study in the machine learning aided stochastic slope stability analysis through the finite element method. The probability of failure of a dam with cohesive slope has been investigated. The numerical model has been built by the finite element method. An advanced machine learning algorithm called Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) is adopted to establish the regression model. The applicability and effectiveness of the presented approach are compared by the Monte-Carlo simulation method.
