Multivariate probabilistic characterization of hydraulic and physicochemical soil properties

Abstract

Probabilistic characterization of soil parameters is an essential pre requisite for reliability based design RBD in geotechnical engineering projects A lot of work in probabilistic characterization is focused on conventional mechanical or strength parameters for saturated soils Studies accounting for hydraulic parameters e g soil water characteristic curve SWCC chemical properties such as cation exchange capacity CEC are relatively sparse However these are equally important aspects...
