Risk Assessment in Geotechnical Engineering

Description:
This text presents a thorough examination of the theories and methodologies available for risk assessment in geotechnical engineering, spanning the full range from established single–variable and "first order" methods to the most recent, advanced numerical developments. In response to the growing application of LRFD methodologies in geotechnical design, coupled with increased demand for risk assessments from clients ranging from regulatory agencies to insurance companies, authors Fenton and Griffiths have introduced an innovative reliability–based risk assessment method, the Random Finite Element Method (RFEM). The authors have spent more than fifteen years developing this statistically based method for modeling the real spatial variability of soils and rocks. As demonstrated in the book, RFEM performs better in real–world applications than traditional risk assessment tools that do not properly account for the spatial variability of geomaterials.
This text is divided into two parts:
Part One, Theory, explains the theory underlying risk assessment methods in geotechnical engineering. This part′s seven chapters feature more than 100 worked examples, enabling you to develop a detailed understanding of the methods.
Part Two, Practice, demonstrates how to use advanced probabilistic tools for several classical geotechnical engineering applications. Working with the RFEM, the authors show how to assess risk in problems familiar to all geotechnical engineers.
