About This Course

Part 1: This video is a part of a series of short educational videos on geotechnical reliability and risk initiated by ISSMGE TC304. This video provides an introduction about how to perform the reliability analyses using the first-order reliability method (FORM) implemented on a spreadsheet. It starts with the discussion of basic FORM algorithm, followed by a case study of a real-world supported excavation problem illustrated with the step-by-step implementations on a spreadsheet. The video is supposed to be educational while related references are provided for interested audiences.

Part 2: This video is a part of a series of short educational videos on geotechnical reliability and risk initiated by ISSMGE TC304. This video provides an introduction about how to perform the advanced probabilistic analyses including probabilistic inverse analysis and robust geotechnical design on a spreadsheet. It starts with the principles of probabilistic inverse analysis and its application in the supported excavation problem for updating the excavation-induced ground responses. Then the robust geotechnical design methodology is introduced using the drilled shaft design in clay as an example. The video is supposed to be educational while related references are provided for interested audiences.
