Abstract
This work shows the variability of the friction angle based on the geological history, over the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This study was developed through the generation of random fields of friction angle using the matrix decomposition technique for a self-correlated [...]
Abstract
It is widely acknowledged that many geotechnical properties are correlated over space and/or time. Consequently, crosscorrelated random fields play a pivotal role in geotechnical reliability analysis for properly modeling both the auto- and cross-correlation structures of correlated [...]Abstract
The non-linear analysis of historic masonry structures can be difficult to perform due to the highly irregular geometric features, the inherent variability within the materials, as well as the limited amount of experimental data available. The present work details a specific methodology [...]
