Interest and use of probabilistic methods and risk assessment tools in geotechnical engineering has grown rapidly in recent years. The natural variability of soil and rock properties, combined with a frequent lack of high quality site data, makes a probabilistic approach to geotechnical design a logical and scientific way of managing both technical and economic risk. The burgeoning field of geotechnical risk assessment is evidenced by numerous publications, textbooks, dedicated journals and sessions at general geotechnical conferences. Risk assessments are increasingly becoming a requirement in many large engineering construction projects. Probabilistic methods are also recognized in some design codes as a way of delivering reasonable load and resistance factors (LRFD) to target allowable risk levels in geotechnical design.
Topics for Geo-Risk 2017 will include, but are not limited to:
Practice of risk assessment and management in all fields of geoengineering
Geohazards such as landslides, slope failures, dams and levees, earthquakes, and geoenvironmental hazards including those caused by human activity
Reliability-and risk-based code developments
Advances in geotechnical Reliability Based Design
Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) developments and applications
Acceptable risk and risk communication including applications to insurance and financial decision-making
Impact of spatial variability and probabilistic site characterization
Uncertainty relating to geotechnical properties, models and testing methods
Advances in the applications of theory and practice of statistics and probability in geoengineering
