In the last decade, reliability-based design methodologies have been adopted or are close to adoption by design codes in USA, Europe, and Japan, especially as ISO 2394 now relies more on risk-based design. This book explains how calculations can be carried out using simple tools, and by presenting illustrative or actual examples. It presents all the "need-to-know" information for a non-specialist to calculate and interpret the reliability index and risk of geotechnical structures in a realistic and robust way.
Establishes Geotechnical Reliability as Fundamentally Distinct from Structural Reliability
Reliability-based design is relatively well established in structural design. Its use is less mature in geotechnical design, but there is a steady progression towards reliability-based design as seen in the inclusion of a new Annex D on "Reliability of Geotechnical Structures" in the third edition of ISO 2394. Reliability-based design can be viewed as a simplified form of risk-based design where different consequences of failure are implicitly covered by the adoption of different target reliability indices. Explicit risk management methodologies are required for large geotechnical systems where soil and loading conditions are too varied to be conveniently slotted into a few reliability classes (typically three) and an associated simple discrete tier of target reliability indices.
Provides Realistic Practical Guidance
Risk and Reliability in Geotechnical Engineering
makes these reliability and risk methodologies more accessible to practitioners and researchers by presentingWith contributions from a broad international group of authors, this text:
Accessible To a Wide Audience
Risk and Reliability in Geotechnical Engineering presents all the "need-to-know" information for a non-specialist to calculate and interpret the reliability index and risk of geotechnical structures in a realistic and robust way. It suits engineers, researchers, and students who are interested in the practical outcomes of reliability and risk analyses without going into the intricacies of the underlying mathematical theories.
