The aim of this state-of-the-art review is to present the recent progress about the design
optimization and applications of metaheuristic algorithms in civil engineering. In this chapter …

The use of synthetic fibres as reinforcement to stabilise expansive soils is gaining
momentum. As a contribution towards this growing field of research two different types of …

Anchored stabilizing pile is a typical earthquake-resistant structure in reinforced slope with
advantages of safety, reliability and low cost. It demonstrated excellent seismic performance …

Reliability-based design (RBD) of earth retaining structures has attracted considerable
attentions due to several distinctive elements, such as correlated load and resistance …

The probabilistic bearing capacity of the strip footing placed on the edge of a reinforced
cohesionless soil slope is computed by combining lower bound finite element limit analysis …

Reliability-based optimization (RBO) intends to minimize the cost involved in a design while
satisfying all technical requirements specified by using reliability theory. Although this idea is …

In this paper, an approach for target component and system reliability-based design
optimisation (RBDO) to evaluate safety for the internal seismic stability of geosynthetic …

In this paper, an analytical study considering the effect of uncertainties in the seismic
