Résumé : |
Because soils and rocks are among the most variable of engineering materials, they are highly amenable to a probabilistic treatment. This text therefore presents state-of-the-art probabilistic techniques for solving problems in geotechnical engineering. The authors introduce you to the underlying theories and provide you with a wealth of practical applications.
The book begins with a review of the statistical theories needed to develop the methodologies and then interpret the results of probabilistic analysis. Next, the authors explore established probabilistic methods of analysis, such as the first order second moment method, the point estimate method, the first and second order reliability methods, and random set theory. The book also describes numerical methods of probabilistic analysis based on the finite element method, such as the stochastic finite element method. Lastly, you learn about important new developments concerning the random finite element method. |
