Probabilistic Approach to the Design and Test of Hardened Facilities.

Abstract

The general approach to probabilistic structural design is applied to the particular case of hardened ground facilities. The basic probabilistic concepts required for design are presented and illustrated by application of the methodology to the design of a composite steel/concrete liner for a deep-buried tunnel. An evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of the probabilistic approach compared to the deterministic approach is made. (Author)
