The minimum safety factor and the critical slip surface of a slope can be located using various methods of optimization or random search. However these methods have not been adopted to search for the three-dimensional (3D) critical slip surface. This paper proposes a new Monte Carlo random simulatio

The use of GIS (geographical information systems) in hydrology and water management has its roots in ideas about the relationship between climate, catchment, channel and society that emerged more than a hundred years ago. From these beginnings, hydrological GIS has come to be deยฎned primarily by mod
