Download or read book Probabilities and Materials written by D. Breysse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most industrial and natural materials exhibit a macroscopic behaviour which results from the existence of microscale inhomogeneities. The influence of such inhomogeneities is commonly modelled using probabilistic methods. Most of the approaches to the evaluation of the safety of structures according to probabilistic criteria are somewhat scattered, however, and it is time to present such material in a coherent and up-to-date form. Probabilities and Materials undertakes this task, and also defines the great tasks that must be tackled in coming years. For engineers and researchers dealing with materials, geotechnics, solid mechanics, soil mechanics, statistics and stochastic processes. The expository nature of the book means that no prior knowledge of statistics or probability is required of the reader. The book can thus serve as an excellent introduction to the nature of applied statistics and stochastic modelling.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, several approximate methods for determining the first and second moments of the probability density function of a random design variable have been presented. Once these moments are known, the probability of failure or reliability of the system can be calculated by assuming a distribution shape and using standard probability tables. This technique can be used on a variety of geotechnical problems to transform existing deterministic analyses into probabilistic design analyses. Examples of the application of the methodology developed herein are presented in the areas of shear strength, bearing capacity, and slope stability. The examples are used to illustrate how a reliability type of design analyses might be performed, the influence of the choice of distribution on calculated results, and the contrasts between conventional factor of safety analyses and probabilistic analyses. The point estimate method presented in this report is a simple and powerful tool that can be used in conjunction with any numerical analysis. By identifying the N random variables in a design analysis and assigning to them one sigma bounds to reflect subjective uncertainty or parameter variability, the mean and variances of the design parameters can be estimated from 2 to the nth point estimates. The primary obstacle to successful implementation of the techniques presented in this report is the lack of information on appropriate distribution shapes for various geotechnical design parameters.

Download or read book Practice of Bayesian Probability Theory in Geotechnical Engineering written by Wan-Huan Zhou and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces systematically the application of Bayesian probabilistic approach in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Four typical problems are analyzed by using Bayesian probabilistic approach, i.e., to model the effect of initial void ratio on the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) of unsaturated soil, to select the optimal model for the prediction of the creep behavior of soft soil under one-dimensional straining, to identify model parameters of soils and to select constitutive model of soils considering critical state concept. This book selects the simple and easy-to-understand Bayesian probabilistic algorithm, so that readers can master the Bayesian method to analyze and solve the problem in a short time. In addition, this book provides MATLAB codes for various algorithms and source codes for constitutive models so that readers can directly analyze and practice. This book is useful as a postgraduate textbook for civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, transportation, railway, engineering geology and other majors in colleges and universities, and as an elective course for senior undergraduates. It is also useful as a reference for relevant professional scientific researchers and engineers.
Download or read book Applications of Probabilistic Methods in Geotechnical Engineering Part 2 Analysis of Documented Case Histories Using a Stochastic Model for Seismically Generated Pore Pressure and Shear Strain Potential written by E Kavazanjian (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the basics of a new stochastic model for seismically-generated pore pressure and shear strain potential and illustrates its use for documented case histories. Model parameters are chosen according to available information on the variability of soil properties, and it is applied to sites where liquefaction was observed and where no evidence of liquefaction was observed and where no evidence of liquefaction was observed after major seismic events. Results of the analysis are in substantial agreement with observed field behavior, indicating that this model can be used in a predictive capacity if parameters are chosen correctly. An application of the model to a comprehensive risk analysis of seismically induced initial liquefaction is also briefly described. An example using available seismic information for a hypothetical soil site near San Francisco is presented to illustrate the use of this type of model. Two models are applied to documented case histories to demonstrate their applicability and to illustrate how the probabilistic design parameters are chosen. The probabilistic pore pressure model developed by Chameau (1980) and the probabilistic shear strain model developed by Hadj Hamou (1982) are used herein to analyze the behavior of three sites where liquefaction did and did not occur during earthquakes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first monograph to consider the possibility of utilizing probability theory in all essential fields of geotechnics. It deals in detail with in situ and laboratory tests, the evaluation of soil physical characteristics, the preparatory phase and the individual problems of design, including load bearing capacity, prediction of settlements, dimensioning of slopes and retaining walls, and quality control of earthworks.Numerous possibilities for, and examples of, the parallel utilization of deterministic and stochastic methods are given in the book, creating a connection between conventional and new, modern methodologies. It demonstrates by examples that the only possibility of meeting technical and economic requirements simultaneously is by using the methods of probability theory.The book also gives an account of new geotechnical and mathematical results of the author (post-evaluation of settlements and tilts, plotting of statistical bore profiles, elimination of the asymmetry of distribution by transformation, etc.). The book enables practitioners and to acquire new, modern design methods and research to develop methods. It will also be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate training.
