... ABSTRACT: This paper presents some preliminary results from a comprehensive study on the application of the finite element method for reliability analysis in geotechnics. Some remarks on the stochastic nature of soil properties are given together with typical values for their stochastic...

While there are other self boring instruments that were purpose built for measuring permeability, it is obviously desirable to obtain a direct measurement of the coefficient of permeability as one of a number of fundamental soil properties from...
