Probabilistic design: The future of rock engineering

A brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. The variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. However, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

PO Box 513, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands Introduction Osteoporotic fractures mainly occur at sites with relatively large amounts of trabecular bone. The devastating effects of such fractures can be prevented with accurate predictions of trabecular bone strength. Micro-finite element (μFE) models have been successfully used to study and predict trabecular bone elastic and yield properties....
