Ultimate Lateral Resistance to Piles in Cohesionless Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Several methods are available for predicting the ultimate lateral resistance to piles in cohesionless soils. However, these methods often produce significantly different ultimate resistance values. This makes it difficult ...
Closure to “Ultimate Lateral Resistance to Piles in Cohesionless Soils” by Lianyang Zhang, Francisco Silva, and Ralph Grismala
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Bayesian Rating Curve Modeling: Alternative Error Model to Improve Low-Flow Uncertainty Estimation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The estimation of hydrometric rating curves uncertainty has constituted an active topic of research on hydrology. In this regard, the BaRatin inference framework, which estimates rating curves on the basis of prior hydraulic ...
Closure to “Probability and Risk of Slope Failure” by F. Silva, T. W. Lambe, and W. A. Marr
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Reliability Analysis of Marine Platforms Subject to Fatigue Damage for Risk Based Inspection Planning
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The probability of failure of steel jacket platforms subjected to fatigue damage is computed by means of Monte Carlo simulations using limit state functions in which wave, wind, and deck ...
Probability and Risk of Slope Failure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper aims to demystify the use of risk assessment as a decision management tool and present a methodology that places quantitative risk assessment within reach of every geotechnical engineer, even for routine engineering ...
