Traditional reliability-based rock slope designs, in which the lowest-cost design is selected
from all designs meeting target reliability requirements, are often sensitive to variations in …

This paper presents a fuzzy set–based robust geotechnical design (RGD) approach for the
design of earth slopes in which uncertain soil parameters are represented as fuzzy sets. For …

This paper presents a new geotechnical design concept called robust geotechnical design
(RGD). This new design methodology, seeking to achieve a certain level of design …

This paper studies the chloride diffusivity of concrete subjected to long-term exposure in a
simulated marine environment with sustained compressive loading for up to 224 days. A …

This paper presents an update for the robust geotechnical design (RGD) methodology,
which seeks an optimal design with respect to design robustness and cost efficiency, while …

The reliability-based robust geotechnical design (RGD) approach provides an effective tool
to deal with the uncertainty in the estimated statistics of geotechnical parameters in a …

A systematic robust design optimization methodology is presented in this study for cantilever
retaining wall backfilled with shredded tire in the face of earthquake hazards. Regarding the …

Recently, the pit-in-pit braced excavations are frequently adopted in the geotechnical
engineering projects in China due to the large demand of urban underground space …

The shoring system that consists of soldier piles and anchor tiebacks is often used in deep
excavations in sandy deposits. However, uncertainties often exist in the design of such …

Drainage is a cost-effective way to stabilize slopes. However, clogging has always been a
factor that decreases the sustainability and efficiency of the drainage method in slope …
