Performance of reliability methods in geomechanical applications

Reliability-based design is an approach currently gaining more popularity for geotechnical engineering. Neverthless, its implementation poses several challenges, one being the additional time (usually significant) in order to perform it. An important portion of this additional time comes from the need to perform many scenarios to compute the...

Generic Form of Bayesian Monte Carlo For Models With Partial Monotonicity

This paper presents a generic method for the safety assessments of models with partial monotonicity. For this purpose, a Bayesian interpolation method is developed and implemented in the Monte Carlo process. integrated approach is the generalization of the recently developed techniques used in safety assessment of monotonic models and it...
