The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship among multivariate process capability indices, expected losses and design reliability for the nominal-the-better case so the likelihood and consequence resulting from the failure of a multi-characteristic engineering design can be evaluated simultaneously. This new approach provides reliability practitioners a decision making tool in p...

Numerical modeling is a widely used method in geotechnical engineering to understand the interactive responses of infrastructures with soils or/and rocks both civil and mining [...]

CA2 (Continuum Analysis, 2- dimensional) is a computer program developed by the author. CA2 can solve a variety of complex geotechnical problems using explicit finite difference method. In this paper, an introduction will be given to the theoretical and numerical basis of the program and the capability of the code will be shown by solving a few interesting nonlinear and transient problems. Fina...

INTRODUCTION Every structure requires foundation for its stability. A simple failure of may lead to the a even though all codal provisions are met in analysis and design super structure. prompt exchange ideas innovations is essential between structural geotechnical engineers build safe Hence single platform knowledge experts materialized The first National Conference on “Structural Geotechnical...

Geotechnical engineering is a relatively new discipline that has developed rapidly over the past 30 years. It deals with a wide spectrum of natural geological materials ranging from low strength soils to high strength rocks. Earth movements are common in many parts of the world and, as a result, present serious safety and mortality risk to humans in addition to affecting construction activities...

Abstract Geotechnical engineering work contributes to the total environmental impact and monetary cost occurring from construction sector. Decisions made regarding geotechnical aspects have a profound effect on of structure during its life cycle. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Cost Analysis (LCCA) are established methods for assessing impacts works. This paper presents results literature review 56...

one of the main distinctions between geomaterials and other engineering materials is the spatial variation of their properties in different directions. this characteristic of geomaterials -so called heterogeneity- is studied herewith. several spatial distributions are introduced to describe probabilistic variation of geotechnical properties of soils. among all, the absolute normal distribution ...
