The sentences
In Fig 8(a) with a slope ratio of 1:2, the reliability index values show a decreasing trend for all RF types (stationary RF, RF type 1, and RF type 2) with the minor autocorrelation distance, while in Fig 8(b) with a slope ratio of 1:1, the reliability index values show a slightly increasing trend.
As for the second scenario, named RF type 2, the soil property shows an increasing trend along the direction perpendicular to the bedding.
