Critical review and latest developments of a class of simulation algorithms for strongly non-Gaussian random fields

P Bocchini, G Deodatis - Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics, 2008 - Elsevier
A methodology is presented for simulation of strongly non-Gaussian random fields. It
involves an iterative scheme that produces sample functions that match a prescribed non …

Effects of random heterogeneity of soil properties on bearing capacity

R Popescu, G Deodatis, A Nobahar - Probabilistic engineering mechanics, 2005 - Elsevier
This study examines the effect of random heterogeneity of soil properties on bearing
capacity. The stochastic soil property considered is the undrained shear strength and two …

Evaluation of flow liquefaction and liquefied strength using the cone penetration test

PK Robertson - Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental …, 2010 - ascelibrary.org
Flow liquefaction is a major design issue for large soil structures such as mine tailings
impoundments and earth dams. If a soil is strain softening in undrained shear and, hence …

Benchmark examples for data-driven site characterisation

KK Phoon, T Shuku, J Ching… - Georisk: Assessment and …, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
Decision making in geotechnical engineering is always related to a project carried out at a
specific site. It is natural for data-driven site characterization (DDSC) to attract the most …

Simulation of highly skewed non-Gaussian stochastic processes

G Deodatis, RC Micaletti - Journal of engineering mechanics, 2001 - ascelibrary.org
In this paper, a simulation methodology is proposed to generate sample functions of a
stationary, non-Gaussian stochastic process with prescribed spectral density function and …

Direct simulation of random field samples from sparsely measured geotechnical data with consideration of uncertainty in interpretation

Y Wang, T Zhao, KK Phoon - Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2018 - cdnsciencepub.com
Random field theory has been increasingly used in probabilistic geotechnical analyses over
the past few decades, where a random field generator with random field parameters is …

The timing of liquefaction and its utility in liquefaction hazard evaluation

SL Kramer, SS Sideras, MW Greenfield - Soil Dynamics and Earthquake …, 2016 - Elsevier
The behavior of liquefiable soils, and of soil deposits containing liquefiable soils, can
change dramatically upon triggering of liquefaction. This suggests that knowledge of the …

Assessment of reclamation-induced consolidation settlement considering stratigraphic uncertainty and spatial variability of soil properties

C Shi, Y Wang - Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2022 - cdnsciencepub.com
Consolidation analysis is a key task for reclamation design. Although consolidation is a long-
term process, acceleration of consolidation is often preferred for speeding up the …

Effect of spatial variability of cross‐correlated soil properties on bearing capacity of strip footing

SE Cho, HC Park - … for Numerical and Analytical Methods in …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Geotechnical engineering problems are characterized by many sources of uncertainty.
Some of these sources are connected to the uncertainties of soil properties involved in the …
