Risk and Reliability in Geotechnical Engineering

"Risk and Reliability in Geotechnical Engineering ...was, originally, to be an update of the 2008 book Reliability-based Design in Geotechnical Engineering - Computations and Applications (edited by K. K. Phoon). The update turns out to be a completely new book, and is a 'must-read', not only for those interested in risk and reliability in geotechnical engineering, but also for the geotechnical practitioner."
-Suzanne Lacasse in Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers: Geotechnical Engineering

"This is a welcome continuation of the very successful volume, Reliability-Based Design in Geotechnical Engineering... Practitioners will find very useful information that range from simple to advanced methods, and from site characterization to design and decision. The book will certainly encourage the use of reliability in practice."
-Georisk, 2015

"This is an excellent book, written by acknowledged experts in the field for practicing engineers interested in geotechnical reliability analysis. The presentation is very clear and the subject matter delivered at just the right level - not too mathematical, yet still rigorous in approach. Practical matters, such as designing site investigations and selecting parameters for design, are covered well. Highly recommended."
-Dr. Andrew Bond, Geocentrix Ltd.

"The main strength of the materials I have reviewed is that they address the needs and questions of users of many different backgrounds, from practicing engineers who are curious about the added value of doing risk and reliability analyses, but are intimidated by the terminology and mathematics, to professional risk analysts who are more concerned about safety philosophy and application of more advanced analysis methods in assessing the value of information."
