Causal discovery and reasoning for geotechnical risk analysis

A simplified reliability-based design method for multiple design variables considering different limit states

“…Chen et al [ 14 ] analyzed failure characteristics of the tunnel collapse influenced by cavities in phyllite strata. Besides, in addition to aleatory uncertainties, epistemic uncertainties are getting more attention in reliability analysis [ [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] ]. Since any numerical or theoretical model is inevitably influenced by epistemic uncertainties, it is advisable to pay more attention to the modeling uncertainty non-probability uncertainty, and other epistemic uncertainties for a robust analysis [ [20] , [21] , [22] ].…”
