Application of Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and Fuzzy Finite Element (FFEM) for Investigating the Uncertainty of Seepage in Homogeneous Earth Dams by Milad Kheiry, Farhoud Kalateh

“…In the analysis of saturated and semi-saturated soil media, the use of the finite element method results in more realistic analyses than deterministic methods due to the random nature of porous media properties. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of uncertainty in the prediction of seepage flow through earth dams using the Fuzzy Monte Carlo Simulation (FMCS) new hybrid algorithm, which is implemented with the help of the finite element method and monte carlo simulation. …”
