Reliability-based analysis of seismic bearing capacity of shallow strip footings resting on soils with randomly varying geotechnical and earthquake parameters

June 25, 2023

Seismic bearing capacity of strip footings is a challenging task for geotechnical engineers due to its stochastic framework instigated by the natural uncertainties incorporated into geotechnical properties and earthquake parameters. Consequently, the introduction of the random field theory into reliability analysis may provide power tools to succor desi...

Risk management for geotechnical structures: consolidating theory into practice (Pacheco Silva Lecture)

August 03, 2020

This paper intends to consolidate the theory of risk management into practical applications in geotechnical engineering, presenting concepts, clarifying procedures and discussing openly its difficulties and trends. It brings the evolution of the risk concept and its application to engineering, worldwide and in Brazil, showing the trend of risk managemen...
