Reliability analysis of a pile foundation in a residual soil: contribution of the uncertainties involved and partial factors

Reliability evolved from other areas, such as structures, requiring special adaptation when applied to geotechnical engineering. This paper shows one way to treat geotechnical uncertainties in a simple way. A sensitivity analysis, based on a series of calculations of the probability of failure for a...
