In geotechnical engineering analysis, the uncertainties in the soil input parameters have always been a concern. Therefore, to take into account this issue, engineers are using reliability based design (RBD), which can deal with the probability of failure rather than only with the factor of safety. In this paper is presented a probabilistic analysis of a sheet pile wall penetrating clay, which has been analyzed with the limit equilibrium method. It has been studied the impact of the variation of soil parameters (friction angle, cohesion) on the values of penetration depth, maximal bending moment, safety factor and probability of failure. In this structure, according to the failure mechanism, the soil is involved as load and also as resistance due to the active and passive earth pressures.

Abstract
In geotechnical engineering analysis, the uncertainties in the soil input parameters have always been a concern. Therefore, to take into account this issue, engineers are using reliability based design (RBD), which can deal with the probability of failure rather than only with the factor of safety. In this paper is presented a probabilistic analysis of a sheet pile wall penetrating clay, which has been analyzed with the limit equilibrium method. It has been studied the impact of the variation of soil parameters (friction angle, cohesion) on the values of penetration depth, maximal bending moment, safety factor and probability of failure. In this structure, according to the failure mechanism, the soil is involved as load and also as resistance due to the active and passive earth pressures.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
