• Description:
  Reliability-based design of deep foundations such as drilled shafts has been increasingly important due to the
  
  heightened awareness of the importance of risk management. The load and resistance factor design has been
  
  implemented by FHWA since 2007. Nevertheless, there are still many unsolved issues regarding the
  
  implementation of load and resistance factor design. In an attempt to address these issues, a performancebased design approach has been developed in which Monte Carlo simulation is employed to conduct reliability
  
  analysis. A series of computer codes were developed and validated. It was found that the spatial variability of
  
  soils is an important consideration in reliability analysis.
