Abstract: Bearing capacity predictions for surface footings on sand based on modifications of Terzaghi's superposition method are partly empirical and partly theoretical. Based on currently available data for surface footings on ...

Abstract: The spatial variability of soil properties in situ is often modeled by trend surfaces and residual variations about trend. With the advent of computer‐aided design, statistical procedures are now routinely applied to trend ...

Abstract: Rosenblueth's point-estimate method for approximating the low-order moments of functions of random variables is widely used in geotechnical reliability analyses. It is a special case of numerical quadrature based on ...

Abstract: The development of river basin policy and management plans involves a spectrum of concerned parties and organizations, only a small fraction of which are presented by technical professionals. Easily-used and highly-interactive ...
