In recent years, interest in the effect of the spatial variability associated with steel corrosion
on the safety and reliability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in harsh environments has …

At present, the reliability analysis and design method of vertically loaded piles embedded in
spatially variable soils is difficult to be applied in practical engineering due to the huge …

In most limit state design codes, the serviceability limit checks for drilled shafts still use
deterministic approaches. Moreover, different limit states are usually considered separately …

The design and construction of foundations, retaining structures and slopes are usually
based on deterministic formulations that do not allow the distinction between the natural …

In reliability analysis, the crude Monte Carlo method is known to be computationally
demanding. To improve computational efficiency, this paper presents an importance …

In the context of geotechnical uncertainty characterization, the reliability‐based design
optimization (RBDO) provides an effective means to achieve the most balanced design …

In this paper, a methodology using Monte Carlo simulation method was developed in
conjunction with the modified limiting equilibrium method of slices. Additionally, the time …

This paper presents a performance-based, probabilistic framework for design of a drilled
shaft under axial and lateral loading that can consider spatial variability of soil properties at …

One of the methods to design products is reliability-based design, in which failure probability
is usually used instead of safety factors. In the technique, it should not be less than a …

To investigate the effect of spatial variability on hydraulic properties of unsaturated soils, a
numerical model is set up which can simulate seepage process in an unsaturated …
