Due to large-scale geological deposition processes, slope structures are often stratified, which means that the spatial distribution of parameters involved in reliability evaluation is statistically anisotropic. This paper studies effect statistical anisotropy undrained shear strength on probability failure (pf) based Monte Carlo simulation. The results show for horizontally layered slope, larg...

Soft soils are commonly located in many regions near seas, oceans, and rivers all over the world. These vital attractive for population governments development. soil is classified as problematic owing to sustaining low shear strength high settlement under structures. Constructing structures and/or infrastructures on soft a considerable risk that needs great attention from structural engineers. ...

This paper evaluated the influence of Standard Penetration Test (SPT) correction factors, namely hammer energy efficiency, borehole diameter, drill rod length, and sampling method, on correlations between SPT resistance (SPT-N) undrained shear strength (Su). Comparisons were made new equations (with without corrections), which derived from soil data collected Penang Island, Malaysia. The coeffi...

Abstract In geotechnical engineering, transformation models are often used as first estimates of parameters and to verify the order magnitude field laboratory tests, which reliability might be constrained by many uncertainties. The undrained shear strength has been for long particular interest such models. traditional rather simple. Still, community does not seem have agreed upon use. particula...
