Applications in Geotechnical Engineering

The following soil and rock engineering reliability problems are solved efficiently in this chapter on the cell-object-oriented spreadsheet platform. EXAMPLE 9.1 A vertical cut in cohesive soil EXAMPLE 9.2 Reliability against rotational slope failure in cohesive soil EXAMPLE 9.3 Horizontal displacement of offshore platform in a storm EXAMPLE 9.4 System reliability analysis of a pile foundation with two failure modes EXAMPLE 9.5 Hasofer–Lind index for slope sliding along a single plane EXAMPLE 9.6 Probability-based design facilitated by the ratio Φ(–β)/P f,exact EXAMPLE 9.7 Efficient RBD-via-FORM resolves load–resistance duality in a rock slope EXAMPLE 9.8 A tale of two factors of safety in tunnel roof wedge, and resolution via FORM EXAMPLE 9.9 Load–resistance duality of a vertical load on retaining wall foundation
