Abstract
The paper will review the state-of-the-art in the use of finite element methods for modeling geotechnical engineering problems involving non-typical geometries and highly variable soil properties. Examples will focus on slope stability analyses in which traditional limit equilibrium methods, and even well-established probabilistic methodologies may lead to misleading results.
