Abstract: Geotechnical design codes have been migrating toward reliability-based design (RBD) concepts. ISO 2394 identified the characterization of model uncertainty as one of the critical elements in the geotechnical RBD process. ...

Abstract: This paper uses finite-element formulation of the lower bound theorem to determine the bearing capacity of ring foundations on dense sand. The results are validated with the plasticity solutions, numerical analyses, ...

Abstract: AbstractPrediction is one of the core activities in geotechnical engineering. Because of our limited knowledge of ground conditions and the imperfection of predictive models, the resulting predictions would deviate from ...

Abstract: AbstractDriven cast-in-situ (DCIS) piles (e.g., Franki, Simplex, and Vibro) are classified as displacement piles and their interaction with the surrounding soil is often analyzed using the methods originally developed ...

Abstract: AbstractRecent advancements in deep learning have revolutionized constitutive model calibration in geotechnical engineering by automatically identifying complex patterns in high-dimensional data, enhancing accuracy, and ...

Abstract: AbstractAuger cast-in-place (ACIP) and drilled displacement (DD) piles are routinely considered as an alternative to drilled shafts or driven piles. However, their acceptance to support bridges has been lagging. The load ...
