Guest Seminar on Uncertainty and Probability in Rock Slopes Stability
There will be a guest seminar by Professor Renato Macciotta held on 12 April 2019 3:30pm at the School of Civil Engineering within the University of Queensland (UQ, Brisbane) targeting "Uncertainty and Probability in Rock Slopes Stability Assessment and Design". This lecture presents an overview of sources of uncertainty in rock slope analysis and design, available tools to quantify this uncertainty, and how these need to be considered when selecting acceptability criteria. It will be part of the Workshop on Acceptability Criteria in Rock Slope Engineering that was delivered by Hoek, E., Lorig, L., Macciotta, R., Martin, D., Varona, P., Hawley, M. In Santiago, Chile, November 18, 2018. Professor Renato Macciotta [Read more]
