The field of statistics and reliability is closely related to probability and uncertainty. Statistics is the gathering and interpretation of the behavior of particular quantities and reliability is the ability of a person or system to perform and maintain its functions in routine circumstances, as well as hostile or unexpected circumstances.

SYSTEM RELIABILITY-BASED GEOTECHNICAL DESIGN OF BRACED EXCAVATIONS IN SOFT CLAYS (2016)
Li Y. , Luo Z. et al.  
<p>This paper presents a preliminary study on the system reliability for the geotechnical design of braced excavations in soft clays. In this system reliability geotechnical analysis, both ultimate limit state (ULS) and serviceability limit state (SLS) are ...

RELIABILITY UPDATING IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING INCLUDING SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF SOIL (2012)
<p>At geotechnical sites, deformation measurements are routinely performed during the construction process. In this paper, it is shown how information from such measurements can be utilized to update the reliability estimate of the geotechnical site at future ...

CHALLENGES IN GEOTECHNICAL RELIABILITY BASED DESIGN (2011)
<p>The author has been proposing a reliability based design (RBD) scheme for practicing geotechnical engineers. The essence of the proposed scheme is the separation of the geotechnical design part rom the uncertainty analysis part in geotechnical RBD. In this ...

KNOWLEDGE BASED RISK CONTROLLING (2011)
<p>Safety, reliability and risk analysis and management are the keywords in engineering these days. Yet while technical solutions are in many respects extended by safety margins of 30 to 70% commercial risks are limited to surcharges of the order of 1% forced ...

PROBABILISTIC ANALYSIS OF BEARING CAPACITY OF STRIP FOOTINGS (2011)
<p>Predicting bearing capacity of shallow foundations is a common practice in geotechnical engineering and an accurate estimation of its value is essential for a safe and reliable design. Traditional deterministic methods of estimating bearing capacity of ...

RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF BEAMS ON RANDOM ELASTIC FOUNDATIONS (2011)
The classical problem of a beam on an elastic foundation (BOEF) has long been of practical interest to geotechnical engineers, because it provides a framework for computing deflections, not only of foundations, but also of vertically oriented laterally loaded ...
