This paper is motivated by the Time Capsule Project (TCP) of the International Society for
Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). The historical developments of …

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 …

Historically, seepage failure has always been the primary cause of failures and accidents of
earth dams after overtopping. However, research on the reliability of earth dams against …

In this study, the random finite element method, a finite element method with random field
generation techniques, was applied to investigate the cross correlations between the …

Coal-based power generation will continue to be the backbone of energy supply until
renewable energy sources become mainstream. Hence, management of large quantities of …

Seepage‐induced backward erosion is a complex and significant issue in geotechnical
engineering that threatens the stability of infrastructure. Numerical prediction of the full …

Natural alluvial foundations are inherently heterogeneous. To enhance seepage safety, a
cut-off wall is commonly embedded in a dam foundation. However, walls can also have …

Backward erosion piping (BEP) is an increasingly critical failure mechanism in dike systems,
often triggered by floods resulting from extreme rainfall events, which are exacerbated by the …

As a typical mechanism of internal erosion, suffusion has led to geological disasters in
engineering structures worldwide. A slight deviation in soil structures, also known as the …

In recent years, reliability analysis has become an integral part of any design work of
engineering structures to establish its success by considering the various uncertainties …
