<p>The component and system reliability based design of bridge abutments under earthquake loading is presented in the paper. Planar failure surface has been used in conjunction with pseudo-dynamic approach to compute seismic active earth pressures on an abutment. ...

Reliability tools have been applied to slope stability analysis more than<br>any other geotechnical application on account of the readily understood oncept of “probability of failure” as an alternative or complement to the traditional “factor of safety”. ...

The reliability-based design of shallow foundations is generally implemented via a load and resistance factor design methodology embedded in a limit states design framework. For any particular limit state, the design proceeds by ensuring that the factored ...

<p>This paper presents recent advances in response sensitivity, probabilistic response and reliability analyses of structural and geotechnical systems. These developments are integrated into general-purpose nonlinear finite element (FE) software frameworks ...

Evaluating the reliability of slopes against sliding failure is complicated by the fact that most slope soils are spatially variable. This means that instead of nice circular failure surfaces, slope failures tend to be more complex, following the weakest path ...

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 ...

<p>Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) is the standard structural design practice. In order for foundation design to be consistent with current structural design practice, the use of the same loads, load factors, and load combinations would be required. ...

There is little dispute that the current geotechnical design process could be improved significantly by integrating the various design components (loads, soil parameters, calculation models, and factors of safety) in a more logical and self-consistent way. ...

<p>In anchor pullout design, conservative soil and rock shear strength parameters are usually adopted. Presumptive values of soil/grout and rock/grout bond strength are available in different design manuals. In this study, in-situ pullout test data for anchors ...
