LIMIT STATE DESIGN IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING PRACTICE
(With CD-ROM)
Proceedings of the International Workshop
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA 26 June 2003
edited by Kok-Kwang Phoon (National University of Singapore, Singapore), Yusuke Honjo (Gifu University, Japan) & Robert B Gilbert (University of Texas at Austin, USA)
This publication contains the abstracts of 20 papers, the majority of which were presented at the International Workshop on Limit State Design in Geotechnical Engineering Practice (LSD2003). The complete contributions are available in the accompanying CD-ROM (special lecture not included). The topics covered include: performance-based and limit state design philosophies; issues arising from the implementation of limit state design codes; elaborations of "measured values", "derived values" and "characteristic values"; reliability-based methodologies for analytical calibration of partial factors; and application of partial factors in FEM where highly nonlinear force-deformation behaviors may govern.
