Details
Quantifying uncertainty in ground models is essential because designs are often based on limited, variable geotechnical and geophysical data within laterally and vertically complex geology, where errors can have safety and cost consequences.
Explicitly representing uncertainty allows risk-based design, helping engineers understand the likelihood and impact of adverse ground conditions rather than relying on overly conservative assumptions. This leads to safer, more economical foundations, better-informed site investigation strategies, and improved decision-making. This workshop will focus on identifying key sources of uncertainty in offshore ground models, methods for quantifying them, and a panel session on what levels of uncertainty are acceptable.
