Geotechnical reliability-based design using generalized subset simulation with a design response vector

This study proposes an efficient full probabilistic design method using an advanced Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) algorithm, so-called generalized Subset Simulation (GSS), for which a concept of design response vector is proposed. The proposed design response vector contains responses of all possible designs and is used to, simultaneously, explore failure domains of different designs. With the design response vector, the proposed approach...
