Abstract: The present study pertains to the probabilistic assessment for analysis and design of uplift capacity of transmission tower foundation reinforced with horizontal anchor using the radial basis function (RBF)-based response ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytical study considering the effect of uncertainties in the seismic analysis of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) walls is presented. Using limit equilibrium method and assuming sliding wedge failure ...

Abstract: In the present study, results of reliability analyses of four selected rehabilitated earth dam sections, i.e., Chang, Tapar, Rudramata, and Kaswati, under pseudostatic loading conditions, are presented. Using the response ...

Abstract: The present study proposes a procedure to determine partial factors in reliability based design format for pile foundations, considering bias as well as uncertainty in the parameters that represent soil-pile interaction. ...

Abstract: Modeling the spatial variability that exists in pavement systems can be conveniently represented by means of random fields; in this study, a probabilistic analysis that considers the spatial variability, including the ...

Abstract: Use of natural fibers in civil engineering construction practice is often advantageous as they are cheap, locally available, biodegradable, and ecofriendly. Among the available natural fibers, coir is produced in large ...

Abstract: Reliability analysis of the buried flexible pipe-soil system is performed from three different failure criteria: (1) deflection; (2) buckling; and (3) wall thrust. The response surface methodology is used to establish ...

Abstract: Although uncertainties in material properties have been addressed in the design of flexible pavements, most current modeling techniques assume that pavement layers are homogeneous. The paper addresses the influence of the ...
