CHARACTERISATION OF MODEL UNCERTAINTY FOR RELIABILITY-BASED DESIGN OF PILE FOUNDATIONS (2007)
To keep pace with international trends, the introduction of geotechnical limit state design in South Africa is inevitable. To pave the way for implementation of limit state pile design in the country, the study quantifies model uncertainty in the classic static pile design formula under the Southern African geologic environment. The generated model uncertainty statistics are used to calibrate partial resistance factors in a reliability-based design framework.
