BAYANAL code in geotechnical design based on Eurocode 7

Abstract
Geotechnical problems that are characterized by a high degree of complexity and uncertainty with respect to the input data are solved recently, using the Bayesian analysis (for instance the problem of a cautious estimation of the geotechnical characteristic parameters according to the Eurocode 7 requirements). The applicability of the Bayesian approach to geotechnics via a simple examples related to determination of characteristic values of geotechnical parameters for design structures is in the paper addressed. In order to select the characteristic parameters for the geotechnical design a new numerical code called BAYANAL was developed. Example of applying the BAYANAL code to analyse the DMT tests demonstrates that it is a powerful and promising tool in evaluation of ground properties and geotechnical parameters.

Testing of reactive materials for phosphorus removal from water and wastewater – comparative study
Excess of phosphorus in surface water is a global problem. Phosphorus found in rivers, streams, agricultural ditches and lakes comes from both point and diffuse sources. To keep water bodies in a good ecologi...
Risk assessment of climate change impacts and the post-mining land reclamation on the example of the “Brzeziny” Natural Aggregate Mine
Mitigation of climate change and adaptation to its effects manifested in increasingly extreme meteorological phenomena are one of the most important contemporary global challenges. In the face of new hazards, numerous me...
Determination of the Resilient modulus MR for the lime stabilized clay obtained from the repeated loading CBR tests
The main aim of this paper is to prove that CBR repeated test is useful to give an adequate like Unconfined Cyclic Triaxial test parameters for design the pavement and subgrade soils. That parameter is the Resilient modu...
