Discretization error in the random finite element method for spatially variable undrained shear strength

Computers and Geotechnics, 2019
This study decomposes the discretization error in the random finite element method into finite element and random field discretization errors. Two numerical problems are considered: a soil column and a retaining wall with spatially variable undrained ...

Random finite element method for spudcan foundations in spatially variable soils

Engineering Geology, 2016
Abstract Spudcans are large diameter (~ 20 m) conical foundations holding up mobile jack-up platforms for offshore oil and gas developments in shallow to moderate water depths. During self-installation the spudcan often penetrates several tens of meters into seabed soils, where large variations often occur in the shear strength of the soils. Although

Random finite element method for the seismic analysis of gravity dams

Engineering Structures, 2018
The seismic response of gravity dams is typically derived under a deterministic finite element model for the dam-reservoir-foundation system. In the case where uncertainty in material properties should be incorporated into overall dam performance, the ...

The Random Finite Element Method (RFEM) in Slope Stability Analysis

, 2007
The paper investigates the probability of failure of a cohesive slope using both simple and more advanced probabilistic analysis tools. The influence of local averaging on the probability of failure of a test problem is thoroughly investigated. In the simple approach, classical slope stability analysis techniques are used, and the shear strength is ...
