Robust Design in Geotechnical Engineering

Robust Design in Geotechnical Engineering, Volume 1, provides a comprehensive analysis of uncertainty within the field of civil engineering. Because ground conditions are naturally variable and based on limited data, traditional geotechnical design often faces errors in construction. This technology and engineering text examines how poor parameter data and solution models impact system performance.

The author focuses on probabilistic analysis, utilizing the reliability index and the probability of failure to improve design outcomes. This volume explores various methodologies, including load and resistance factor design and reliability-based design. Specifically tailored for researchers and engineers, Robust Design in Geotechnical Engineering, Volume 1, offers detailed examples and methodologies regarding soil and rock mechanics to ensure more stable and predictable geotechnical systems.
