Abstract: This paper develops an approach that utilizes kriging surrogate models for the reliability-based design of geotechnical structures. Surrogate models improve the computational efficiency and reduce the complexity of ...

Abstract: Prototype bioreactor studies are becoming an increasingly common approach to assessing municipal solid waste degradation in landfills, owing to their greater potential for monitoring and control. Though reports of several ...

Abstract: Geotechnical design considers different limit states of design. Conventional deterministic design methodology uses the factor of safety approach, while reliability-based design and robust design methodology use probability ...
