Along many Dutch dikes (residential) buildings are present. These buildings may influence the reliability of the dike positevely and or negatively. In this study a probabilistic method is developed to determine the influence of a building, located inside the slope of a dike, on the macro stability. The developed method is also applied to a case-study. The method could be used as a first step for an advanced assessment of buildings located inside the soil profile of a dike.
