RANDOM FIELD MODELING OF FOUNDATION FAILURE MODES

Two series of probabilistic stability analyses for two basically different foundation types, namely a tension pile and a gravity-base foundation, respectively, are reported. Both types were analyzed with respect to their stability, the pile against pull-out, and the gravity-base foundation against horizontal sliding. Static soil strengths were assumed, and the stabilities were expressed in terms of reliability methods. The important soil property for both foundation types is the undrained shear strength. The results of the study are presented and discussed.
