The resistance factor for pile foundations in load and resistance factor design (LRFD) is traditionally calibrated considering target reliability index (βT) and statistics of load and resistance bias factors. However, the resistance bias factor is hard to quantify statistically. Consequently, the design obtained using the calibrated resistance factor can still miss βT if the variation in resistance...
In this paper, we modify the classic manifold separation technique (MST), aiming to reduce its dependence on high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measuring environment. According to the analysis of the array response, it is demonstrated that to maintain a correct phase relationship between the received data at different calibration angles is indispensable for the application of MST. Thus, we slightly...
