The application of reliability methods to foundation design constitutes a significant
improvement over the traditional deterministic approach. However, the number of reliability …

A probabilistic analysis of a shallow circular tunnel driven by a pressurized shield in a
frictional and/or cohesive soil is presented. Both the ultimate limit state (ULS) and …

The geotechnical engineering profession in Canada is in the process of evaluating limit
states design (LSD) for its incorporation into codes of practice for foundation engineering to …

Uncertainty and variability are inherent to pile design and consequently, there have been
considerable researches in quantifying the reliability or probability of failure of structures …
