Reliability Assessment of Eurocode 7 Spread Foundations Design Methodology
This paper is a contribution for the application of Eurocode 7 design methodology and analysis of related features in geotechnical engineering, such as uncertainty, risk and reliability. The design methodology of Eurocode 7 is applied to a strip foundation resting on a relatively homogeneous c-φ soil, and the different design approaches are compared to deterministic and semi-probabilistic solutions. A reliability assessment is performed for different conditions, particularly selecting different characteristic values and coefficients of variation of soil properties. Several uncorrelated and correlated random variables are considered, and probabilistic solutions are achieved and compared with a target reliability index. For this purpose, reliability techniques such as the first-order reliability method (FORM) and the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) are applied and compared to other methodologies. Based on the obtained results, the Eurocode 7 design methodology is discussed, and the indispensable engineering judgment is outlined.
