Abstract: The present study utilizes the Girsanov transformation-based framework for solving a nonlinear stochastic dynamical system in an efficient way in comparison with other available approximate methods. In this approach, ...

Abstract: Multilayered cover systems (MLCSs) of waste containment facilities are generally prone to translational instabilities, largely governed by their interfacial shear strength parameters. For reliability assessment of a MLCS, ...

Abstract: Measurement of the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is time-consuming for soils such as bentonites. It is desirable to develop a first-hand estimate of SWCC from a statistical generalization of the available data. A ...
