Bayesian Model Calibration Using Geotechnical Centrifuge Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The predicted performance using a geotechnical prediction model is expected to deviate from reality. A practical approach to assess the model error is through calibration with observed performances in physical model tests. ...
Uncertainties of Field Pullout Resistance of Soil Nails
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A large number of field pullout tests on soil nails have been carried out to provide valuable information for enhancing the understanding of pullout resistance of soil-grout interface and for reliability evaluation of ...
Reliability Evaluation of Cross-Hole Sonic Logging for Bored Pile Integrity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Defects present in a pile may not be encountered during a cross-hole sonic logging (CSL) test. Even when defects are indeed encountered, they may not always be detected. This paper proposes a probabilistic analysis procedure ...
Impact of Routine Quality Assurance on Reliability of Bored Piles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Quality assurance (QA) tests, such as integrity tests, are routinely conducted to ensure the safety of pile foundations. QA tests provide additional information and result in changes in estimated reliability of pile ...
