This reference guide from an international team of experts shows how uncertainty quantification and numerical modeling can complement each other to enhance decision making in geotechnical practice, filling a critical gap in guiding practitioners to address uncertainties directly.

In the last decade, reliability-based design methodologies have been adopted or are close to adoption by design codes in USA, Europe, and Japan, especially as ISO 2394 now relies more on risk-based design. This book explains how calculations can be carried out using simple tools, and by presenting illustrative or actual examples. It presents all the "need-to-know" information for a non-specialist to calculate and interpret the reliability inde...

This work makes reliability and risk methodologies more accessible to practitioners and researchers by presenting soil statistics which are necessary inputs, by explaining how calculations can be carried out using simple tools, and by presenting illustrative or actual examples showcasing the benefits and limitations of these methodologies.
