Journal ArticleDOI
Probabilistic approach to design of embankments
Minoru Matsuo,Katsuhiko Kuroda +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new design factor is defined and the relation between the design factor and the probability of sliding failure of an embankment is formulated under consideration of the randomness of the soil properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental study on earth pressure of retaining wall by field tests
TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of the earth pressure acting on a retaining wall are investigated on the basis of the large scale prototype tests in a field, where the wall is made of concrete and 10 meters in height.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagram for construction control of embankment on soft ground
Minoru Matsuo,Kunio Kawamura +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the degree of safety at the present situation is ascertained and the successive failure is predicted by observing the vertical settlement at the central place just under an embankment and the horizontal displacement near the toe of the slope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probability models of undrained strength of marine clay layer
Minoru Matsuo,Akira Asaoka +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the variability of undrained strength is analyzed quantitatively from two points of view, which is the new idea of modeling the strength, one aspect is concerned with the variability due to sample disturbance which is inevitable at sampling and testing of soils, the other is, the inherent heterogeneity of a natural ground.
Journal ArticleDOI
A statistical study on a conventional "safety factor method"
Minoru Matsuo,Akira Asaoka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical structure of uncertainties in the stability problem of an embankment is considered, and the authors show that the conventional safety factor does not always give a good approximation to the presented optimum design over the full range of a probable strength of a ground.
