Although advances in piling equipment and technologies have extended the global use of
stabilizing piles (to stabilize slope or landslide), the design of stabilizing piles remains a …

Robust design optimization (RDO) is a valuable technique in the design of engineering
structures as it can provide an optimum design solution that is relatively insensitive to input …

To investigate the influence of spatial variability of hydraulic parameters on the flow in earth
dams, saturated-unsaturated seepage is numerically simulated combining Monte Carlo …

Recently, reliability-based design is a universal method to quantify negative influence of
uncertainty in geotechnical engineering. However, for deep foundation pit, evaluating the …

This paper presents a fuzzy set–based robust geotechnical design (RGD) approach for the
design of earth slopes in which uncertain soil parameters are represented as fuzzy sets. For …

This paper presents a framework for optimization of site investigation program, within which
the robustness of the site investigation program and the investigation effort are optimized. A …

This paper presents a general framework for the robust retrofitting design for rehabilitation of
segmental tunnel linings installed using shield tunnelling, and specifically using steel plates …

Reliability design of braced excavation is still a challenge for geotechnical community.
Optimization design is a normal method to control the safety and cost of braced excavations …

This paper presents a fuzzy set-based robust geotechnical design (RGD) methodology for
the design of shield-driven tunnels. Here, uncertain geotechnical parameters required for …

This study briefly reviews the application of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm
Optimization (PSO) in geotechnical engineering since GA and PSO are widely used in civil …
