A METHOD TO DETERMINE A DESIGN STRENGTH AND DESIGN SAFETY FACTORS FOR A STABILITY ANALYSIS OF COHESIVE SOIL DEPOSITS

By analysing the datum of the unconfined compression strength value in the Japanese coastal area, a method to determine the design strength with these values as quality indicators is proposed. The design safety factor for stability analysis is studied by considering their probabilistic characteristics. Conclusions are given to show the basis for the proposed method.
