Modeling only constitutes one aspect of decision making. The prevailing limitation of
applying modeling to practice is the absence of explicit consideration of uncertainties. This …

The probabilistic bearing capacity of the strip footing placed near a two-layered cohesive
soil slope is evaluated using random adaptive finite element limit analysis with anisotropic …

The field of biogeotechnics has emerged from the realization that processes intrinsic to
natural systems can provide new approaches and inspiration through which the efficiency …

This study investigates the coupled effect of the soil spatial variations and the disturbance of
ground surface on the existing tunnel using random finite difference method (RFDM). The …

Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) provides a conceptually simple and robust method to
evaluate the system reliability of slope stability, particularly in spatially variable soils …

The random field finite element method (RF-FEM) provides a robust tool for carrying out
slope reliability analysis that incorporates the spatial variability of soil properties. However, it …

Geological uncertainty is common in nature due to complex depositional processes as one
layer appears to be randomly embedded in neighbouring layers. However, the geo …

Square plate anchors are increasingly used to provide uplift bearing capacity for both
onshore and offshore infrastructures. Past research on the behavior of plate anchors mostly …

Field data have shown the fact that soil spatial variability could aggravate the uncertainty of
tunnel convergence ΔD (a key indicator for serviceability and safety of tunnels). This paper …

The basal heave stability of supported excavations is an essential problem in geotechnical
engineering. This paper considers the probabilistic analysis of basal heave stability of …
