There are typically three types of models involved in a geotechnical analysis, ie, the
geologic model, the ground model, and the geotechnical model, each of which may be …

The concept of Value of Information (VoI) has attracted significant attentions within the civil
engineering community over especially the last decade. Triggered by the increasing focus …

A method is proposed for simultaneously estimating the trend and random component of soil
properties at arbitrary locations using Gaussian process regression with the superposition of …

Due to the inherent spatial variability of the geological bodies, limited boreholes
(constrained by budget), and data interpretation errors, the subsurface conditions (in terms …

This report discusses the challenges associated with geotechnical design through a review
of research on the reliability analysis of geotechnical structures. This report is organized into …

Since cone penetration test (CPT) is reasonably rapid, affordable, and repeatable, it has
been widely used in situ for subsurface soil stratification and classification in geological and …

In site investigation, it is common to conduct some soundings to explore greater depths that
are not explored by remaining soundings. This produces the scenario of nonlattice data …

Site investigation is widely used for uncertainty reduction and design improvement in slope
engineering. Before the site investigation is implemented, it is important to assess and …

Assessing the spatial variability of the liquefaction-induced settlement at a site often involves
spatial interpolation based on some stochastic models (eg, random fields). Accuracy of the …

Subsurface geological profiles often contain multiple soil layers, and spatial variability of soil
properties within such a profile plays a crucial role in geo-structure analysis. Such spatial …
