Beyond safety factors: Leveraging probabilistic analysis tools for smarter decisions

SPONSORED WEBINAR provided by Lumivero

From roadways to environmental, civil engineering disciplines may vary, but they all share a core priority: safety.

Traditionally, safety has been assessed using deterministic methods, like safety factors and margins—often based on averages or arbitrarily chosen conservative values. While the reliability index, a probabilistic measure of safety, has been recognized for decades, its formal integration into civil engineering codes has only recently gained momentum.

Join Naresh C. Samtani, President at NCS GeoResources, LLC, for a webinar where you’ll compare traditional deterministic methods with probabilistic approaches and explore the methods and tools that improve reliability-based design and decision-making in civil engineering.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• Move beyond deterministic safety factors by leveraging probabilistic, reliability-based methods
• Apply appropriate probability distribution functions (PDFs) to better capture uncertainty
• Use Monte Carlo simulation and correlation modeling to deliver clear, actionable results
• Employ probabilistic tools to improve design reliability and decision-making
