Thajeel, J. (author), Al-Bittar, T. (author), Ahmed, A. (author), Soubra, A-H. (author)The failure probability of geotechnical structures with spatially varying soil properties is generally computed using Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) methodology. This approach is well known to be very time-consuming when dealing with small failure probabilities. One alternative to MCS is the subset simulation approach. This approach was mainly...conference paper 2015

Al-Bittar, T. (author), Michael, M. (author), Soubra, A.-H. (author)In this paper, a probabilistic analysis is presented to compute the ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing resting on a spatially varying rock mass. The rock is assumed to follow the generalized Hoek-Brown failure criterion. The uniaxial compressive strength of the intact rock (σc) was considered as a random field and the Geological...conference paper 2015
