Abstract
HIDALGO MONTOYA, César Augusto and PACHECO DE ASSIS, André. Tools for reliability analysis in geotechnical engineering: Application. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.18, pp.79-86. ISSN 1692-3324.
In this work, in order to calculate the failure probability against sliding of a contention structure, FOSM and point estimates methods (PEM) were used. As a conclusion, it is highlighted that it is necessary to define values of acceptable failure probability in geotechnical design, because there is a void in this aspect.
