Are We Overdesigning? – A Survey of International Practice
A joint initiative by the CAPG, the YMPG, TC205 - Safety and Serviceability, and TC304 - Risk. This survey is intended to assess the consistency of calculation models and design methods for a variety of geotechnical structures and, where possible, to compare the results with full-scale tests and reliability analyses. To participate in the survey please click here. The closing date for inclusion of the responses in the report to the Asian Regional Conference is 09 September 2019.
