Spatial variability is one of the major sources of uncertainty in geotechnical applications.
This variability is characterized customarily by the scale of fluctuation. Scale of fluctuation …

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 …

This second edition of The Illustrated Wavelet Transform Handbook: Introductory Theory and
Applications in Science, Engineering, Medicine and Finance has been fully updated and …

Site characterization, which aims to characterize the subsurface stratigraphic configuration
and the associated geo-properties, has long been a significant challenge in geological and …

Les sols ayant des résistances au cisaillement variables dans l'espace sont modélisés au
moyen de la théorie de champ aléatoire et d'une analyse élasto-plastique en éléments finis …

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 …

Research activity in the mechanics of landslides has led to renewed interest in the infinite
slope equations, and the need for a more general framework for giving insight into the …

Describing how soil properties vary spatially is of particular importance in stochastic
analyses of geotechnical problems, because spatial variability has a significant influence on …

The spatial variation of seismic ground motions denotes the differences in the seismic time
histories at various locations on the ground surface. This text focuses on the spatial …

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 …
