Abstract:The HL-Reliability Index is utilized to investigate the applicability of several linear and nonlinear response surface models based on design experiments techniques to evaluate the safety under random loading, against bearing capacity failure of shallow foundations resting on c-φ soils with multivariate correlated variables. The reliability results obtained using FORM/SORM coupled with these models, are checked by Monte Carlo simulation method. It is demonstrated that the application of these models significan… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
