Traditional active earth pressure evaluations considering seepage are typically deterministic, assuming uniform soil layers. However, soil hydraulic properties exhibit the obvious spatial variability due to geomorphological processes or poor construction control. To address this, the random limit analysis method (RLAM) is employed to investigate the influence of spatial variability of saturated hydraulic conductivity on active earth pressure. To combine random field simulations with the limit analysis-based evaluation method, this study discretizes the conventional three-dimensional (3D) rotational failure mechanism. Owing to the energy dissipation principle, the explicit expression of 3D active earth pressures can be derived. The proposed method's validity is demonstrated through comparisons with available analytical solutions, deterministic numerical calculations, and random finite difference method (RFDM). RLAM integrating with Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) in MATLAB, facilitates the probabilistic analysis of the active earth pressure to be evaluated. The findings indicate that the present method not only incorporates the spatial variability of hydraulic properties, but also enhances the computational efficiency of calculating active earth pressures compared to the RFDM. Based on extensive uncertainty analyses, this study proposes a system reliability evaluation method for semi-gravity retaining walls, accounting for the spatial variability of saturated hydraulic conductivity. The results reveal that under different random field design scenarios, all decay curves of system failure probabilities for a semi-gravity retaining wall intersect within a specific range, referred to herein as the "turning region". Furthermore, as the normalized horizontal autocorrelation distance, anisotropic ratio and coefficient of variation increase, the effective influence zone of the wall design index on system failure probability gradually expands, offering valuable guidance for the design and construction of semi-gravity retaining walls.
