Gregory Baecher & John Christian 
Reliability and Statistics in Geotechnical Engineering 

Risk and reliability analysis is an area of growing importance in
geotechnical engineering, where many variables have to be
considered. Statistics, reliability modeling and engineering
judgement are employed together to develop risk and decision
analyses for civil engineering systems. The resulting engineering
models are used to make probabilistic predictions, which are
applied to geotechnical problems.

Reliability & Statistics in Geotechnical Engineering
comprehensively covers the subject of risk and reliability in both
practical and research terms

* Includes extensive use of case studies

* Presents topics not covered elsewhere–spatial variability and
stochastic properties of geological materials

* No comparable texts available

Practicing engineers will find this an essential resource as will
graduates in geotechnical engineering programmes.
