报告简介：

This talk covers various aspects relevant to the establishments of data-centric engineering, especially in the context of geotechnical reliability assessments. These include (i) compilation of databases of triaxial test results for several common soil types across different parts of Hong Kong; (ii) development of probabilistic analysis approaches to reveal the influence of geo-material variability to geotechnical system reliability; and (iii) implementation of new instrumentation technologies, such as distributed fibre optic sensing, to create new types of monitoring data in civil and geotechnical engineering. In particular, example applications to slope engineering, deep excavations and foundation engineering will be presented to highlight the potential benefits and significance of data-informed approaches in civil and geotechnical engineering.
