| Abstract | ||
| Reliability analysis of pile groups is a hot issue in geotechnical engineering. Pile groups with dissimilar pile lengths can be adopted to alleviate the differential settlement among foundation piles and to ensure the consistency of reliability index of each foundation pile. This paper presents an approach for analyzing the reliability of pile groups with dissimilar pile lengths subjected to vertical loads in spatially variable expansive soils under rainfall. The variation of soil | ||
