Shallow Foundation Reliability Design
The increasing awareness that soils are materials that, even in a lithologic homogeneity, show pronounced variability of their physico-mechanical properties, has given a remarkable increase to the development of probabilistic computational models in geotechnics. Significant reflexes are present also in geotechnical regulations, in which (see Eurocode 7 for example) the research of characteristic values and the use of partial coefficients prove to be a significant step forward compared to the use of Global safety factors. In this note the problems of shallow foundations are taken into account, as far as the bearing capacity and settlements are concerned, remarking some of the most significant studies carried out in the last years on probabilistic basis. The outcoming frame is that there is still a lot to study as far as the statistic structure of input data is concerned, the models to use the verification in real magnitude of the results obtained from calculations.
