System-level reliability evaluations of CRWs under static conditions through SCM and hybrid ensemble learning
摘要
This study presents a reliability and system reliability assessment framework for cantilever retaining wall under limit equilibrium conditions using hybrid ensemble-learning techniques integrated with sequential compounding method. Variability in soil and material properties was incorporated using a Latin Hypercube Sampling-Monte Carlo Simulation (LHS-MCS) method, while deterministic formulations are used to generate datasets for training hybrid ensemble-learning model. External failure modes such as sliding, overturning, and bearing capacity are considered across six coefficients of variation (COV) sets. Results indicate that bearing capacity governs dominant failure mode in the system reliability analysis, exhibiting high probabilities of failure (POF = 0.40–0.49) and low reliability indices (β = 0.16–0.33), whereas sliding and overturning show comparatively higher reliability (
