Reliability-based design is the only engineering methodology
currently available which can ensure self-consistency in both
physical and probabilistic terms, and which is compatible with the
theoretical basis underlying other disciplines such as structural
design. It is especially relevant as geotechnical design becomes
subject to increasing codification and to code harmonization across
national boundaries and material types. Already some codes of
practice describe the principles and requirements for safety,
serviceability, and durability of structures in reliability terms.
A major challenge is to encourage geotechnical engineers to apply
reliability-based design in a realistic context that recognises the
complex variabilities in geomaterials and model uncertainties
arising from a profession steeped in empiricism.This book presents
practical computational methods in concrete steps that can be
followed by practitioners and students. It also provides
geotechnical examples illustrating reliability analyses and design.
By focusing on learning through computations and examples, this
book serves as a valuable reference for engineers and a resource
for students.
