Abstract
HIDALGO MONTOYA, César Augusto and PACHECO DE ASSIS, André. Tools for reliability analysis in geotechnical engineering: The theory. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.18, pp.69-78. ISSN 1692-3324.
In this work, many sources of uncertainty in geotechnical design as the estimation of mechanical parameters and the premises for models and theories are analyzed. Subsequently, three probabilistic tools for valuation of the uncertainty in many geotechnical processes are presented and compared.
Keywords : reliability; confidence; uncertainty; soil mechanics; rock mechanics.
