a) Sufficent SI to establish general nature /
properties
ti off deposits.
d it
b) Assess Most Probable and Most Unfavourable
conditions.

c) Establish Design based on Most probable.
d) Select Monitoring parameters and calculate
values.
e) Calculate values for most unfavourable conditions.
f) Select design Modification options.
g) Monitor and evaluate actual conditions.
h) Modify design to suit actual conditions.

Peck’s
ec s OOM applications
app cat o s
Best way
y out OM applications
pp
– Cleveland Ore Terminal - soft clays – stockpiles of iron ore
– Cape Kennedy Causeway – Hydraulic fill
Ab Initio OM applications
– Harris Bank – Chicago strut monitoring
– Bay Transit Tunnels – Volume loss
Pitfalls
– Geology could be worse.
worse – buried chanels
– Monitoring – Exclude progressive failure and brittleness.
– Reporting
p g and interpreting
p g – Timely
y and robust
– Design must vary during construction – Contract issues

Geological
• eg- Complex geology and hydrogeology.
Ground treatment
• eg - Grouting, dewatering.
(Construction Uncertainty)
• eg – complex temporary work

Geological Uncertainty - Weathered Chalk
Driven piles - length variation

Parameter Uncertainty – Undrained soil

OM Limitation - Rapid Deterioration
‘...... the Method should not be used where there is insufficient
time to implement fully and safely complete the planned
modification or emergency plans.....’ (CIRIA, 1999)
