..., by linking random field theory for modelling spatial variability with finite elements for computing geostructural response. Specifically, a double-hardening soil model has been calibrated against data from 74 triaxial tests on Erksak sand, for a wide range of sand states, while state parameter statistics...

... differential settlement between different supports (Fenton & Griffiths, 2002), and consequently the possible damage of the structure. Soil–structure interaction increases the effect of spatial variability. Usually, the designer applies the load and checks the dimensions of shallow foundations, which...
