This paper describes random finite element analyses of anisotropic 2-D undrained clay slopes with randomly distributed shear strength. The analyses take into account the rotational orientation of the principle axes of anisotropy that might be observed in natural ...

As was the case on this project, the uncertainty of foundation performance in shale can lead to overly conservative designs, particularly with drilled shaft foundations. An extensive Statnamic axial testing program was performed to verify that the load-settlement ...
