EFFICIENCY OF THE MONTE CARLO SIMULATION METHOD IN EVALUATION OF LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL

reliability analysis is a useful and comprehensive approach for estimation of liquefaction potential in soil layers . The most commonly used methods in reliability analysis are first order second moment FOSM and hasofer& lind approaches . These methods are based on some simplified assumptions such as the use of a linear performance function or the numerical estimation which often lead to less accurate results.
