... in the form of rainfall and the resistance such as suction of the embankment material being variable leads to a variability in the displacements; therefore, reliability analysis has been carried out using hydraulic permeability and soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) parameters as random variables...

...H. Alhajj Chehade; X. Guo; D. Dias; M. Sadek; O. Jenck; F. Hage Chehade A reliable design of geotechnical structures requires an appropriate estimation and consideration of the parameter's uncertainties. Traditional design codes account for the uncertainties by using conservative factors...

... angle of the soil, interface friction between the geomembrane and the cover soil, and tensile strength of the geomembrane. An analytical expression based on the Euler-Eytelwein equation is derived for the mobilized tension in the anchor. This paper proposes a new procedure for the target reliability...

... distribution functions can be used for quantitative reliability-based assessment of wall facing deformations and reinforcement strains under operational conditions for walls matching the physical test walls used in the initial numerical model verification. Numerical models based on the finite-element method...

... reliability indices against the tension and pullout failure modes, and the real dynamic nature of earthquake accelerations cannot be considered. The work presented in this paper makes use of the horizontal and vertical sinusoidal accelerations, amplification of vibrations, shear wave and primary wave...
