Reliability of Geotechnical Structures in ISO2394Author(s): K.K. Phoon, J.V. Retief\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9780367574468, 978-0367574468\nSynopsis\nThe latest 4th edition of the international standard on the principles of reliability for load bearing structures (ISO2394:2015) includes a new Annex D dedicated to the reliability of geotechnical structures. The emphasis in Annex D is to identify and characterize critical elements of the geotechnical reliability-based design process. This book contains a wealth of data and information to assist geotechnical engineers with the implementation of semi-probabilistic or full probabilistic design approaches within the context of established geotechnical knowledge, principles, and experience. \n\nThe introduction to the book presents an overview on how reliability can play a complementary role within prevailing norms in geotechnical practice to address situations whe.
