Spatial variability is one of the major sources of uncertainty in geotechnical applications.
This variability is characterized customarily by the scale of fluctuation. Scale of fluctuation …

The stochastic finite element method is an extension of the FEM that considers the
uncertainty of a system that arises through variations in initial conditions, materials or …

Tunnelling has increasingly become an essential tool in the exploration of underground
space. A typical construction problem is the face instability during tunnelling, posing a great …

Square plate anchors are increasingly used to provide uplift bearing capacity for both
onshore and offshore infrastructures. Past research on the behavior of plate anchors mostly …

Describing how soil properties vary spatially is of particular importance in stochastic
analyses of geotechnical problems, because spatial variability has a significant influence on …

Helical piles are one promising foundation option in offshore industries to support wind
turbines and floating structures. During service, the helical piles are subjected to combined …

Natural soils exhibit spatially non-uniform properties, bringing some uncertainties on the
evaluation of tunnel stability. This study therefore investigates the face instability and in …

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the spatial variability of random soil affects
the failure mechanism and the ultimate bearing capacity of foundations buried at various …

Soil is a cross anisotropic particulate medium with different strengths in various directions;
this is primarily due to its geological deposition process and the very fact that particles …

The T-bar penetrometer is extensively used in offshore field investigation and laboratory
testing to evaluate the undrained shear strength of soft clay because of its reliability and …
