Probabilistic Based Assessment of the Influence of Nonlinear Soil Behavior and Stratification on the Performance of Laterally Loaded Drilled Pier Foundations

abstract: This thesis presents a probabilistic evaluation of multiple laterally loaded drilled pier foundation design approaches using extensive data from a geotechnical investigation for a high voltage electric transmission line. A series of Monte Carlo simulations provide insight about the compute...
