This reference guide from an international team of experts shows how uncertainty quantification and numerical modeling can complement each other to enhance decision making in geotechnical practice, filling a critical gap in guiding practitioners to address uncertainties directly.

Uncertainty, Modeling, and Decision Making in Geotechnics shows how uncertainty quantification and numerical modeling can complement each other to enhance decision-making in geotechnical practice, filling a critical gap in guiding practitioners to address uncertainties directly.

The book helps practitioners acquire a working knowledge of geotechnical risk and reliability methods and guides them to use these methods wisely in conjunction with data and numerical modeling. In particular, it provides guidance on the selection of realistic statistics and a cost-effective, accessible method to address different design objectives, and folƒ%
