Abstract: Engineering problems are often characterized by significant uncertainty in their material parameters. A typical example coming from geotechnical engineering is the slope stability problem where the soil's cohesion is modeled as a random field. An efficient manner to account for this uncertainty is the novel sampling method called p-refined Multilevel Quasi-Monte Carlo (p-MLQMC). The p-MLQMC method uses a hierarchy of p-refined Finite Element meshes combined with a deterministic Quasi-Monte Carlo sampling rule. This combination yields a significant computational cost reduction with respect to classic Multilevel Monte Carlo. However, in previous work, not enough consideration was given how to incorporate the uncertainty, modeled as a random field, in the Finite Element model with the p-MLQMC method. In the present work we investigate how this can be adequately achieved by means of the integration point method. We therefore investigate how the evaluation points of the random field are to be selected in order to obtain a variance reduction over the levels. We consider three different approaches. These approaches will be benchmarked on a slope stability problem in terms of computational runtime. We find that for a given tolerance the Local Nested Approach yields a speedup up to a factor five with respect to the Non-Nested approach.
