Abstract: A probabilistic model for evaluation of differential settlements of a tripod platform founded on a clay deposit is formulated based on conventional methods for prediction of consolidation settlements. The model accounts ...

Abstract: A probabilistic model for one‐dimensional consolidation analysis of a clay deposit is formulated based on conventional theory for prediction of time history and magnitude of consolidation settlements. The model accounts ...

Abstract: A probabilistic model for analysis of the pullout capacity for a tension pile installed in clay is formulated, based on conventional methods for prediction of the axial capacity of a pile, the pile forms a part of the ...

Abstract: A reliability-based calibration of a design code for offshore tension pile foundations in clay is presented by an example. The design against pullout in ultimate loading is considered. The calibration is performed by means ...

Abstract: An introduction is given to the concept of nested reliability analyses in structural engineering. This concept is useful for the reliability assessment of structures subjected to time‐varying loading conditions. The ...

Abstract: Two different models for reliability analyses of foundation failure problems are presented, one where only average soil‐strength properties are modeled, and one where the soil strength is represented more accurately as a ...

Abstract: An adequate representation of model uncertainties is important for reliability analyses based on geotechnical analysis models of unknown credibility. A procedure is outlined for calibration of the probability distribution ...

Abstract: A probabilistic model for stability analysis of a deep‐water, gravity‐ based platform foundation on clay is defined, based on theory for wave loading in conjunction with conventional shear surface considerations. An advanced ...

Abstract: The paper demonstrates that a simple method exists, by which easily accessible information aggregated in national statistics can be used to derive acceptance criteria for use in cost effectiveness ...
