Description - Reliability-Based Design in Geotechnical Engineering by Kok-Kwang Phoon
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. Geotechnical engineers need encouragment 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 for engineers and students. It also provides geotechnical examples illustrating reliability analyses and design. By focusing on learning through computations and examples, it serves as a valuable reference for engineers and a resource for students.
