... are increased. 1 Introduction When stability of a geotechnical structure is investigated, uncertainties can be taken into account by means of a probabilistic model that in which a probabilistic tool is employed. Since there are various probabilistic methods, different probabilistic models could be created...

... a probabilistic model of joint distribution applied to the Southeast Slope of Timbopeba iron mine, the fractured rock mass was adopted homogeneous and isotropic, with joints considered as plane circular disks, with parameters like orientation, diameter and location. With the probabilistic model for each joint...
