DESCRIPTION:
With a structured approach, this book introduces the reader to basic principles and methods of geotechnical risk and reliability and demonstrates their relevance for improved understanding, more effective strategies and better problem-solving skills. While these are widely accepted, application has been very slow. Reference is made throughout to the latest developments in the application to geotechnical problems. Traditional methods of geotechnical engineering still dominate the approach of risk and reliability. Attention is given to the ways in
