Efficient adaptive reliability-based design optimization for geotechnical structures with multiple design parameters
Abstract Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) aims to improve the reliability of geotechnical systems while minimizing the cost of design. However, the conventional RBDO method suffers from a large computational cost and intractable convergence problem due to the double-loop structure involving numerical optimization and repeated reliability analysis. To address this issue, this paper proposes an efficient adaptive RBDO framework for geotechnical structure with multiple design parameters. The proposed framework mainly includes two parts: a novel expanded inverse first-order reliability method (E-IFORM) for dealing with the inverse reliability problem with multiple design parameters, and an adaptive surrogate model to decouple the double-loop structure and improve the efficiency. The proposed methodology is applied to four geotechnical systems (i.e., a soil slope, an excavation pit, a strip footing and a retaining wall), and the results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed framework.
