This paper describes the Random Finite Element Method along with a few of its significant results over a variety of common geotechnical problems. The latter include groundwater modeling, shallow foundation settlement and bearing capacity, deep foundation capacity, ...

The reliability-based design of shallow foundations is generally implemented via a load and resistance factor design methodology embedded in a limit states design framework. For any particular limit state, the design proceeds by ensuring that the factored ...

Worldwide, there is growing interest in the development of a rational reliability-based geotechnical design code. The reasons for this interest are at least two-fold; first, geotechnical engineers face significantly more uncertainties than those faced in other ...
