J.V. Retief Department of Civil Engineering, Stellenbosch University, Matieland, South Africa
This book provides data, methods and examples that can be used for probabilistic design of geotechnical structures in line with the topics covered in Annex D (Uncertainty representation of geotechnical design parameters, statistical characterization of multivariate geotechnical data and model factors, and implementation issues in geotechnical reliability-based design). The book unlocks the general principles of reliability as presented in the revised version of ISO 2394 for extended application in geotechnical practice effectively. The resulting systematic application of reliability based geotechnical design will consequently be soundly founded on the reputable international standard.
