In this paper, neural network model is used to replace the performance function of slope and the Monte-Carlo method is used to calculate the failure probability. The samples for training network are generated through orthogonal trial, and the safety factors of the samples are calculated by the strength reduction method of finite element method (FEM). The failure probability is calculated by constructing performance function by using the strong non-linear fitting ability of neural network. Through an example calculation, the failure probability of levee slope is studied with internal friction angle, cohesion force and elastic modulus as random variables. This method is proved to be simple and reasonable. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.11988/ckyyb.20190868
