Reliability and Risk Analysis in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering

Properties of geological materials vary significantly both spatially and temporally. Geotechnical design and practice are influenced by variations in properties and proper consideration of loads on geotechnical systems, and resistance provided by the geological systems represented by engineering properties, which are random variables/fields, is necessary. Significant developments exist in the consideration of the variability of loads and resistances, and the reliability-based design of geotechnical systems has developed very well. The objective of the paper is to present some work done by the author and his students in this area, with reference to foundations, retaining walls, slopes, dams, landslides, pavements, buried pipes, tunnels, landfill engineering, and contaminant transport in geological media. It is emphasized that probabilistic considerations play a significant role in understanding the role of uncertainties in design and provide a rational and risk-informed approach for the analysis and design of geotechnical and environmental systems. A few perceived benefits of rational design and analysis are demonstrated in this paper.
