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 …

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 …

This paper performs a probabilistic stability analysis for an existing earthfill dam using a
Stochastic Finite Element Method (SFEM) and considering the spatial variability of soil …

This paper presents the results of numerical simulations of one physical full-scale
unreinforced embankment and two reinforced embankments taken to failure using a strip …

We propose a method for simultaneously estimating the trend and random components of
soil properties using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) for sparse …

This paper discusses a risk evaluation for earth-fill dams due to heavy rains. The detailed
method employs a flood analysis and land use data to calculate the costs of the inundation …

A method for evaluating the liquefaction probability of an earth-fill dam over the next 50
years is presented through the use of a geostatistical method for the measured values from …

The spatial distribution of the strength inside river dikes is generally identified through
sounding tests. In this research, the electric cone penetration test (CPT) is employed, and …

In this paper, the spatial distribution of the liquefaction probability inside the studied dam
was calculated from CPTUs including conversion errors and the spatial variability of the soil …

Recently, a three-dimensional (3-D) survey has been developed, using an unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV), which has made the rebuilding of the 3-D topography of structures easier. In …
