Towards reliability-based design for geotechnical engineering

This paper presents an overview of the evolution in structural and geotechnical design practice over the past half a decade or so in relation to how uncertainties are dealt with. For the general reader who is encountering reliability-based design (RBD) for the first time, this would provide a valuable historical perspective of our present status and important outstanding issues that remain to b...

Robust Geotechnical Design – A New Design Perspective

Supporting Geotechnical Design with Petri-Net-Based Process Patterns

The paper deals with process patterns based on Coloured Petri-Nets as a process model to coordinate planning in structural engineering, e.g. geotechnical engineering. Coloured Petri-Nets are mathematically well-founded, and are often used to solve problems concerning concurrency in processes in other engineering domains. The paper introduces a new method to represent geotechnical information in...

Evaluation of Eurocode damage equivalent factor based on traffic simulation

The Eurocodes provide a simplified fatigue design control through the use of Fatigue Load Model 3 (FLM3) and a damage equivalent factor, λ, which is now widely used. In applying the Eurocode method, the first problem arises when designers try to determine the corresponding fatigue span length, especially for bridge static systems not listed. A second problem is that in case of long bridges, the...
