Limit State Imprecise Interval Analysis in Geotechnical Engineering

The first applications of nonprobabilistic interval analysis in geotechnical engineering have been recently explored. In fact, the solution of practical problems in this field often requires judgement based on limited data and interval analysis has become a research area formally motivated by input information characterised by imprecision....

Limit State Imprecise Probabilistic Analysis in Geotechnical Engineering

The treatment of imprecision attracted continuous interest since the origin of probability as the science of uncertainty. As a matter of fact, probability has been developed to deal with uncertainty and the first argument supporting precise rather than imprecise probability counts on the nature of ordinary measurements. Starting from only a few...
