Aims & Scope

This Special Collection (SC) aims to provide a dedicated space for in-depth exploration and dissemination of advancements in uncertainty modeling and quantification of numerical methods in geotechnical engineering. The primary goal of this SC is to feature emerging developments, which address the calibration of soil or rock constitutive models developed in recent time, data-driven and physics-informed models for soil or rock constitutive relations, database assessment of the variability in geotechnical numerical predictions, and benchmark exercises for geotechnical analyses by commercial software. The contributions are supposed to provide a deeper insight into the calibration and verification of numerical models in geotechnics, as well as the quantification of variability in numerical predictions of geo-structural response (e.g., deformation, capacity or stability). By establishing this SC, we aim to foster a collaborative environment that encourages researchers to contribute high-quality works, sharing insights and innovations in the field of uncertainty in geotechnical numerical methods.

Topics

  • Calibration and verification of recent soil/rock constitutive models
  • Data-driven and physics-informed soil/rock constitutive models
  • Physics-informed learning machines in geotechnics (e.g., encode physics into the neural network architecture or add physics soft constraints in the neural network optimization process)
  • Simulation of geotechnical spatial variability in numerical analyses
  • Database assessment of the accuracy of numerical predictions in geotechnics
  • Incorporation of monitoring data into geotechnical numerical methods
  • Numerical methods for offshore geotechnics
  • Benchmark exercises for numerical analyses in geotechnics
