Our expertise focuses on the Uncertainty, Reliability and Risk analysis for geotechnical problems:
- levee failure and flood risk,
- slope reliability,
- probabilistic analysis of settlements,
- pile capacity,
- reliability of diaphragm / sheet pile walls.
Below, a summary of the group's expertise and capabilities are presented:

The techniques that are currently being used are:
- Probabilistic Methods (FORM, Monte Carlo, Directional Sampling),
- System reliability / Fault tree analysis,
- Bayesian update (added observations, data assimilation),
- Uncertainties, spatial variability and length-effects quantification,
- Stochastic subsurface modeling,
- Response surface methods / Metamodels,
- Sensitivity analysis,
- Fragility curves.
With our expertise, we can:
- teach you how to apply probabilistics,
- develop software in order to facilitate the use of probabilistics in projects,
- support practitioners using probabilistics in projects (with or without software),
- conduct applied research to increase the field of application for probabilistics.
