The feasibility of implementing K-L expansion as a practical simulation tool hinges crucially on the ability to compute a large number of K-L terms accurately and cheaply [...]

Spatial variability is a realistic phenomenon for soil shear strengths. Based on statistical analysis, Vanmarcke (1977) showed that the averaged property of a random fiel [...]

Uncertainty and risk are essential features of geotechnical engineering. A complex geotechnical problem would only admit numerical solutions and the material parameters s [...]
