Review and validation of settlement prediction methods for organic soft soils, on the basis of three case studies from the Netherlands

Organic soft soils pose technical challenges in construction industry due to their extraordinary compressibility and deformability, which is an issue of particular relevance in the densely populated Netherlands, of which more than half of the land surface is covered by such soft soils. Uncertainty and variability in settlement predictions for...

Probability distribution functions for geomechanical properties from well log data

Reliability based calculations and the identification of uncertainties in geomechanical calculations are receiving an increasing amount of attention to evaluate risk. This poses multiple challenges, of which one is the variability of input parameters such as geomechanical properties, geological structures and distribution of material properties....
