Modeling only constitutes one aspect of decision making. The prevailing limitation of
applying modeling to practice is the absence of explicit consideration of uncertainties. This …

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 …

Geotechnical characterization of a project site for engineering applications is indispensable
in engineering geology and geotechnical engineering, and there are many unavoidable …

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 …

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 …

Site characterization is a unique problem of geotechnical engineering that utilizes both prior
information (including engineering judgment) and project-specific information from test …

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 paper develops Bayesian approaches for facilitating the determination of characteristic
(or nominal) values of geomaterial properties in geotechnical analysis and design when …

This paper presents a new geotechnical design concept, called robust geotechnical design
(RGD). The new design methodology seeks to achieve a certain level of design robustness …

Uncertainty of geomechanical parameters is an important consideration for rock engineering
and has a very important influence on safety evaluation, design, and construction. Back …
