ABSTRACT: The Random Limit Equilibrium Method (RLEM) is a relatively new method of probabilistic slope stability analysis which uses a combination of 2D random field theory, circular or non-circular limit equilibrium methods and Monte Carlo simulation (or Latin Hypercube simulation). Recent studies have provided probabilistic and deterministic design charts for reinforced slopes with simple geometries. However, the importance of the non-circular Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) together with optimization techniques to find the critical failure mechanism when considering the influence of spatial variability of soil properties has not previously been addressed. In this paper, similar probabilistic and deterministic design charts for simple reinforced slopes are presented considering both circular and non-circular surfaces, and a spatial correlation length of infinity. RLEM approach is then used to investigate the influence of spatial variability of soil properties on the probability of failure.
