Abstract
The probabilistic description of the undrained strength of cohesive soils is important in the reliability analysis of short-term slope stability. In this paper the undrained strength is derived to be identically beta-distributed with depth. The approach is through consideration of particle-to-particle effects in the soil and the overall contribution of both cohesion and friction to the undrained strength. The final result confirms experimental investigation in these soils.
