Practical second-order reliability analysis applied to foundation engineering

A practical and efficient approach of implementing second-order reliability method (SORM) is presented and illustrated for cases related to foundation engineering involving explicit and implicit limit state functions. The proposed SORM procedure is based on an approximating paraboloid fitted to the...
