Application of probabilistic methods in geomechanics
Suchomel, Radek ; Mašín, David (advisor) ; Šejnoha, Jiří (referee) ; Pruška, Jan (referee)
Three probabilistic methods of different complexity for slope stability calculations are in this work evaluated with respect to a well-documented case study of slope failure in Lodalen, Norway. A finite element method considering spatial random fields of uncorrelated parameters cohesion and friction angle is taken as a reference for comparison with two simpler methods based on Taylor series expansion, known as first-order-second-moment methods. It is shown that the FOSM method enhanced by a reduction of variance of input parameters due to spatial averaging along the potential failure surface leads to a significant improvement in predictions. This method is computationally inexpensive and can be used in combination with any existing finite element code, it is thus a useful approximate probabilistic method for geotechnical practice. Several limitations of the extended method for calculating probability of a slope failure are identified. An advanced hypoplastic constitutive model is used in probabilistic analyses of a typical geotech- nical problem, strip footing. The model, including horizontal and vertical correlation lengths, was calibrated using a set of experimental data on sand from horizontally stratified deposit. Some parameters followed normal, whereas other followed lognormal distributions....

Reference points distance measurement
Jedlička, Petr ; Čížek, Martin ; Staš, Lubomír ; Malík, Josef
The device is developed for measuring the deformation of natural and artificial underground spaces, especially active mines. The deformations are derived from LIDAR distance measurements of network of reference points. Each reference point consists of steel rod embedded into wall and stainless steel ball as reflector. The LIDAR is placed in a precision adjustable 2-axis mount and which can be fitted to any reference point. The system is portable, battery powered. Part of the system is software allowing reading and processing LIDAR measurement data. The measurement is usually started immediately after excavation, and then go on as long-term monitoring after the completion of the construction or mining activities.
