Abstract
The final destination of the current initiative to covert geotechnical design from the traditional working stress design to limit state design (LSD) is semi-probabilistic limit state design or level 1 reliability-based design. An important step towards the development of a semi-probabilistic limit state design is the calibration of partial factors in a reliability theory framework. This requires a working knowledge of reliability theory and calibration models. Generally the application of reliability theory in geotechnical engineering is at an infant stage and therefore there is need to adapt existing reliability methodologies to the geotechnical discipline. Accordingly this paper presents reliability tools required for semi-probabilistic geotechnical limit state design.
