This report surveys the published literature in geotechnical engineering and related disciplines for applications of probabilistic and statistical methods to soil and rock mechanics problems. Published references up to and including 1982 are summarized to establish the state of the art at that time. A bibliography of approximately 650 items is appended.
All geotechnical predictions involve uncertainties. These are accounted for additionally by conservative factors of safety. Risk based design, on the ...
This study aims to improve the efficiency of driven piles in IGM, which will increase the system reliability of civil infrastructures, especially brid...
