Abstract
Reinforced slopes with horizontal layers of geosynthetic reinforcement can have different mechanisms of failure. In this paper two major mechanisms of failure of reinforced slopes are investigated. External mechanisms occur when the critical slip surface passes beyond the reinforced zone. Internal mechanisms are characterised by failure surfaces that intersect all of the reinforcement layers. For a target value of the factor of safety and a specific value of the reinforcement length, there is a minimum value of the reinforcement tensile strength that will generate only external mechanism types. For greater reinforcement strength values, there is no change in the mechanism of failure and the value of the factor of safety. On the other hand, increasing the minimum reinforcement length, while keeping the reinforcement tensile strength equal to or less than the minimum value obtained for an external failure mechanism, will generate an internal mechanism type with the same mean value of factor of safety. In this study, probabilistic slope stability analysis of these two mechanisms is carried out using Monte Carlo simulation of slopes with different purely frictional and cohesive-frictional (c − ϕ) soils and different slope angles. Margins of safety are expressed in terms of a conventional factor of safety and in terms of maximum probability of failure. Cross correlation between soil strength parameters is also considered in this paper. It is shown that considering practical values of cross correlation coefficient reduces the maximum probability of failure for both internal and external failure mechanisms.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
