Brief Description
|
The Risk and Reliability Analysis in Geotechnical Engineering workshop is ideal if you are seeking to expand your knowledge of and skills in reliability analysis techniques as civil engineering or engineering geology practitioner. Analysis techniques in geotechnical engineering typically estimate the collapse load or factor of safety applicable to a boundary value problem, but does not provide information on the probability of failure. This workshop addresses and equips you with appropriate techniques for the calculation of the probability of failure as this is often (more so than the actual factor of safety) of critical importance to engineers and their clients.
