PROBABILISTIC PASSIVE EARTH PRESSURE ANALYSIS BY THE RANDOM FINITE ELEMENT METHOD (2005)
The paper initially reviews some established probabilistic analysis techniques, such as the First Order Second Moment (FOSM), and the First Order Reliability Method (FORM), and then goes on to describe a more rigorous approach called the Random Finite Element ...

RELIABILITY OF SITE INVESTIGATIONS USING DIFFERENT REDUCTION TECHNIQUES FOR FOUNDATION DESIGN (2005)
The scope of a site investigation, with an aim to accurately estimate the response of a founda-tion design, typically involves using the results of several geotechnical tests, located at various locationsaround a site. However, many of the traditional settlement ...

PROBABILISTIC SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS BY FINITE ELEMENTS (2004)
<p>Investigation the probability of failure of a cohesive slope using simple and advanced probabilistic analysis tools. Influence of local averaging on the probability of failure is evaluated.</p>

INFLUENCE OF SOIL STRENGTH SPATIAL VARIABILITY ON THE STABILITY OF AN UNDRAINED CLAY SLOPE BY FINITE ELEMENTS (2000)
By merging elasto-plastic finite element analysis with random field theory, an investigation has been performed into the stability of an undrained clay slope with spatially varying shear strength. The results of the study lead to a direct comparison between ...
