Geotechnical engineering is strongly associated with large uncertainties. Geotechnical site investigations are made only at discrete points and most of a soil volume is never tested. A major issue is therefore how to cost effectively reduce geotechnical uncertainties with respect to structural performance. Managing the geotechnical uncertainties is thus an important aspect of the design process. Guidance on this subject is given in the European design code for geotechnical design, Eurocode 7 (EN 1997), which advocates the use of the partial-factor method, with the added possibility to use the observational method if the uncertainties are large and difficult to assess.This thesis aims to highlight, develop and improve methods to assess the q...
