Abstract: Uncertainties in the geotechnical design variables and design equations have a significant impact on the safety of cantilever retaining walls. Traditionally, uncertainties in the geotechnical design are addressed by ...

Abstract: Cement stabilization is a well-established technique involving the addition of cement to increase shear strength of soft soils. Studies on the prediction of cement-treated slurry clay generally do not cover a comprehensive ...

Abstract: To study the statistics of the settlement of pile foundations, the uncertainty in the Young's modulus of the soil must first be estimated. This paper considers the practical aspects of estimating the uncertainty in the ...

Abstract: Cement stabilization is a well-established technique involving the addition of cement to increase shear strength of soft soils. Studies on the prediction of cement-treated slurry clay generally do not cover a comprehensive ...

Abstract: The finite-element method provides a convenient and effective means for solving problems of seepage in unsaturated soils. However, convergence difficulties exist in numerical simulations of unsaturated flow analyses because ...

Abstract: Level 1 reliability methods have been internationally accepted as the basis for development of the new generation of geotechnical design codes. A key requirement of this design approach is the identification and quantification ...

Abstract: The stochastic finite element method is applied to study the effect of a spatially varying soil medium on the settlement of single‐pile foundations. In this study, the soil medium is assumed to be linear‐elastic, and it ...
