Reliability and Statistics in Geotechnical Engineering

Author: Gregory B. Baecher, Gregory B. Baecher | Size: 8.24 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2003 | pages: 619 | ISBN: 0471498335

Probabilistic reasoning, statistical methods, and measures of engineering judgment are combined to develop a quantified approach for analyzing and managing risks in civil engineering systems and the applied earth sciences. The resulting risk analysis approach described in this book reflects an emerging trend in geotechnical engineering, natural hazards mitigation, infrastructure protection, and other civil engineering fields to directly and quantitatively deal with uncertainty.

The book is organized in four parts:
Part I introduces concepts of uncertainty, probability, reliability, statistics, and risk. It discusses both practical considerations and philosophical issues that have existed as long as probability theory itself.
Part II deals with uncertainty in a geologic or geotechnical context. It deals with issues of uncertainty in engineering properties and the spatial variation of soils and rocks.
Part III describes how reliability analyses are performed. It surveys important methods and provides detail on various models.
Part IV presents applications of reliability and probabilistic methods to practical problems.

It also addresses how probabilistic information is obtained and managed. These major parts of the book could be viewed in an alternate way as well: they deal, in turn, with (1) the nature of uncertainty in geotechnical engineering and how uncertainty is modeled; (2) inference and estimation from data involving the use of statistical techniques; (3) predictions of the uncertainty in engineering performance involving.
