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 aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art on
railway-induced ground vibration. The governing physical mechanisms, prediction methods …

By merging elasto-plastic finite element analysis with random field theory, an investigation
has been performed into the bearing capacity of undrained clays with spatially varying shear …

By modeling soils as spatially random media, estimates of the reliability of foundations
against serviceability limit state failure, in the form of excessive differential settlements, can …

A probabilistic study on the bearing capacity of a rough rigid strip footing on a weightless
cohesive soil is carried out to assess the influence of randomly distributed undrained shear …

Conditional random field model can make best use of limited site investigation data to
properly characterize the spatial variation of soil properties. This paper aims to propose a …

Although considerable theory exists for the probabilistic treatment of soils, the ability to
identify the nature of spatial stochastic soil variation is almost nonexistent. We all know that …

This paper develops a Bayesian approach for probabilistic site characterization (ie, on both
stratigraphy and soil properties) using cone penetration tests (CPTs). The available site …

Soil and rock masses naturally present heterogeneity at various scales of description. This
heterogeneity may be of two types. On a large scale, soil properties may be considered …

Several probability-based design codes (eg, load and resistance factor design (LRFD)
codes and Eurocode 7) have been developed and implemented around the world recently …
