Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book shows how uncertainty quantification and numerical modeling can complement each other to enhance decision making in geotechnical practice, filling a critical gap in guiding practitioners to address uncertainties directly. It helps practitioners acquire a working knowledge of geotechnical risk and reliability methods and guides them to use these methods wisely in conjunction with data and numerical modeling. Bringing together statistical characterization, reliability analysis, reliability-based design, probabilistic inverse analysis, and physical insights drawn from case studies, this reference guide from an international team of experts offers an excellent resource for state-of-the-practice uncertainty-informed geotechnical design for specialist practitioners and the research community"--
