6 Background Transforming Robust Design Concept into a Novel Geotechnical Design Tool (National Science Foundation grant No. CMMI ) 6
7 Background Current geotechnical design methods Factor of safety (FS)-based approach (Coping with uncertainties by means of experience and engineering judgment; calculated risk concept) Reliability-based design (RBD) (Incorporating uncertainties explicitly in the analysis; however, difficult to characterize uncertainties of soil parameters, model errors & construction variation) Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) (Current trend; however, uniform risk unattainable with single resistance factors for each analysis model with wide ranges of COV in the input soil parameters) 7
8 Background Robust geotechnical design (RGD) Offers a new design perspective in the field of geotechnical engineering It is not to replace existing design methods (FSbased design, RBD, or LRFD approach) Complements traditional design approaches (FSbased approach, RBD, or LRFD approach) 8
9 Outline 1. Background 2. Methodology of R-LRFD 3. Illustrative Example: Drilled Shaft in Clay 4. Conclusions 9
10 Methodology of R-LRFD Load and Resistance Factor Design Considering Design Robustness: R-LRFD (Robust design plus LRFD) Seeks an optimal design (d) that is insensitive to, or robust against, variation in noise factors (q) such as uncertain soil parameters, model errors, and construction variation. Considers simultaneously safety, robustness, and cost by means of optimization, it is a multiobjective optimization problem. 10
11 Methodology of R-LRFD Key concepts in R-LRFD Design parameters d (easy-to-control) versus noise factors q (hard-to-control) Measure of design robustness Optimization, Pareto front, and knee point 11
12 Methodology of R-LRFD Design parameters versus noise factors (1) Easy-to-control design parameters o Geometry parameters o Construction parameters Hard-to-control noise factors o Geotechnical parameters o Loading conditions o Model parameters/model errors 12
13 Methodology of R-LRFD Design parameters versus noise factors (2) (Using diaphragm-wall supported excavation as an example) Clay -1 m -3 m -5 m -7 m Clay GL -2 m GL -4 m GL -6 m GL -8 m GL -10 m Design parameters: Wall length (L), Wall thickness (t), Vertical spacing of the struts (S), Strut stiffness (EA) Noise factors: Undrained shear strength ( ), horizontal subgrade reaction ( kh v ), and surcharge behind the wall (q s ) 13
14 Methodology of R-LRFD Key concepts in R-LRFD Design parameters d (easy-to-control) versus noise factors q (hard-to-control) Measure of design robustness Optimization, Pareto front, and knee point 14
15 Methodology of R-LRFD Measure of design robustness in R-LRFD (slide 1) The system performance, in the context of LRFD approach, may be presented as: f ( d, k ) R( d, k ) S( d, k ) q q R S q where R(d, k θ ) and S(d, k θ ) are the resistance term and load term, respectively; R and S are the resistance factor and load factor, respectively; and, k θ are the characteristic values of noise factors θ. 15
16 Methodology of R-LRFD Measure of design robustness in R-LRFD (slide 2) Intuitively, the design robustness or the sensitivity of the system response to the noise factors can be mathematically measured using its gradient f ( dk, q ), expressed as follows: f (, ) f (, ) f (, ) d kq d kq d kq f ( dk, q ),,, kq k k 1 q 2 qn q k k k q q q q q 16
17 Lower vs. higher gradient Measure of design robustness in R-LRFD (slide 3) Design response, f (d,q ) Sensitive Robust Lower degree of design robustness, signaled by higher gradient f (d 1,q ) f (d 2,q ) Noise factors, q 17
18 Methodology of R-LRFD Measure of design robustness in R-LRFD (slide 4) Sensitivity index (SI) of the system response to the noise factors is defined based on the gradient f ( dk, q ), J kq f ( d, k ) k (, ) k (, ) 1 q q f d k 2 q q f d k 3 q,,, f ( d, k ) k f ( d, k ) k f ( d, k ) k q q qk q q qk q q q k 1 2 n q q q SI J JJ T A higher SI value signals a lower degree of design robustness, as it would suggest a greater relative variation of the system response due to the variation in the noise factors. 18
19 Methodology of R-LRFD Key concepts in R-LRFD Design parameters d (easy-to-control) versus noise factors q (hard-to-control) Measure of design robustness Optimization, Pareto front, and knee point 19
20 Methodology of R-LRFD Optimization, Pareto front (Slide 1) Find d to optimize: [C(d), SI(d,q)] Subject to: g i (d,q) 0, i = 1,..,m d - design parameters; q - noise factors; C - cost; SI - robustness measure; g - design constraint. 20
21 Methodology of R-LRFD Optimization, Pareto front (Slide 2) (In the context of R-LRFD) Find: d (Design parameters) Subject to: d S (Design space) f ( dk, q ) > 0 ( Design constraint) Objectives: Min ( SI) (Sensitivity index) Min ( C) (Cost) 21
22 Methodology of R-LRFD Optimization, Pareto front, and knee point (Slide 3) Multi-objective optimization may not yield a single best design with respect to all objectives. Rather, a set of nondominated designs may be obtained. This set of designs collectively forms a Pareto front. 22
23 Objective 2, f 2 (d) Methodology of R-LRFD Optimization, Pareto front, and knee point (4) If no preference is assigned in the robust design optimization, the knee point on the Pareto front that yields the best compromised solution can be selected as most preferred design in the design space. Pareto front Knee point Utopia point Feasible domain Infeasible domain Objective 1, f 1 (d) 23

26 Illustrative Example: Drilled Shaft in Clay Characterization of noise factors in R-LRFD (#1) If a noise factor follows the lognormal distribution, the corresponding characteristic value can be estimated as: 1 exp ln ln ln k q q q q i i i i where k is the characteristic value of i th q noise factor; and i i qi are the mean and coefficient of variation (COV) of i th noise factor, respectively. Note that the number of is adopted in above Equation to ensure that there is 95% likelihood of i th noise factor not greater than (for the load term) or less than (for the resistance term) the characteristic value of. k qi q 26

38 Conclusions R-LRFD, a new design paradigm, has been demonstrated as an effective tool to obtain optimal designs that are robust against variation in noise factors (e.g., uncertain soil parameters, model errors, and construction variation). R-LRFD consider safety, cost, and robustness simultaneously and is shown as an effective tool. Pareto front and knee point concepts can aid in making informed decision in the design. The proposed gradient-based robust design methodology complements all existing design methods, including the FSbased approach, RBD, or LRFD approach. 38
