  • Geotechnical uncertainty, modeling, and decision making 
    Phoon, Kok Kwang; Cao, Zijun; Ji, Jian; Leung, Andy Y.F.; Najjar, Shadi S.; Shuku, Takayuki; Tang, Chong; Yin, Z. Y.; Yoshida, Ikumasa; Ching, Jianye (Elsevier B.V., 2022)
    Modeling only constitutes one aspect of decision making. The prevailing limitation of applying modeling to practice is the absence of explicit consideration of uncertainties. This review paper covers uncertainty quantification ...
  • Importance of Lower-Bound Shear Strengths in the Reliability of Spatially Random Clayey Slopes 
    Najjar, Shadi S.; Sadek, Salah M.; Farah, Zeina (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2020)
    The random finite element method is used to investigate the effect of including a lower-bound shear strength on the reliability of undrained slopes. The lower bound is represented by the remolded undrained shear strength, ...
  • Reliability-Based Structural Design of Retaining Walls Supporting Spatially Variable Soils 
    Tarhini, Batoul; Kahiel, Ahmad; Najjar, Shadi S.; Sadek, Salah M. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2022)
    The performance of retaining walls is affected by spatial variability in the properties of the retained backfill. In practice, the conventional approach for designing retaining walls is deterministic and is based on ensuring ...
