<p>Article shows the typical examples of mathematical models realization of probabilistic description of random variables (RV) distribution of geotechnical characteristics and the heterogeneity parameters according to data of laboratory and field tests of ...

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 ...

<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 ...

<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 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 ...

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 ...
