Probabilistic Approaches for Geotechnical Site Characterization and Slope Stability Analysis

This is the first book to revisit geotechnical site characterization from a probabilistic point of view and provide rational tools to probabilistically characterize geotechnical properties and underground stratigraphy using limited information obtained from a specific site. This book not only provid...
