| Abstract | All geotechnical predictions involve uncertainties. These are accounted for additionally by conservative factors of safety. Risk based design, on the other hand, attempts to quantify uncertainties and to adjust design conservatism accordingly. Such methods cannot rationalize all the uncertainties of geotechnical engineering, but they provide increased efficiency at modest cost. A risk-based approach is presented which is intended for practical use. Design problems from engineering practice are used to illustrate the approach. |
