Probabilistic safety evaluation of earth slopes is the most widely studied subject in geotechnical reliability literature. In the majority of these studies the formulation is based on the plane strain assumption. Three-dimensional (3-D) probabilistic models of slope stability have been investigated by Peintinger and Rackwitz (3), Vanmarcke (5,6), Veneziano et al. (7) and Yucemen (8,9). These studies as well as some other deterministic analyses (see for example Mejia and Seed (2)) confirm the importance of the 3-D effects. In almost all of the previous studies only static loads were taken into consideration and the uncertainty associated with load effects were consistently ignored.
