NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF POROSITY AND VOID SIZE ON SOIL STIFFNESS USING RANDOM FIELDS (2011)
The purpose of the study is to investigate the influence of porosity and void size on equivalent geotechnical engineering properties. The paper uses random field theory to generate models of geomaterials containing spatially random voids with controlled porosity ...

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 ...

PROBABILISTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF STRIP FOOTING BEARING CAPACITY EVALUATED BY RANDOM FINITE ELEMENT METHOD (2011)
The Random Finite Element Method has been employed for calculating the random characteristics of bearing capacity of a strip foundation. The study has been carried out for two different soils; a greyblue clay from Taranto in Italy, which is well defined from ...

SHALLOW FOUNDATION DESIGN THROUGH PROBABILISTIC AND DETERMINISTIC METHODS (2011)
<p>The design of a shallow foundation with eccentric loading is presented for the ultimate limit state of the bearing resistance, according to the formulation presented in annex D of NP EN 1997-1:2010. Probabilistic and deterministic methods were used. Concerning ...

THE ROLE OF CORRELATION LENGTH ON PROBABILITY OF FAILURE FOR SOIL LINER SYSTEMS (2009)
The objective of this paper is to examine the influence of correlation length and hydraulic conductivity distribution on the probability of failure of a clay liner system. To achieve this objective, a two-dimensional (in plan) clayey liner system is simulated ...

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 ...

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 ...
