A Review of Surrogate Models

MARS Applications in Geotechnical Engineering Systems

Abstract

One critical aspect before assessing the geotechnical system deformation or stability conditions (responses) is the determination of the limit state surface numerically represented by limit state functions (or performance functions). In many complicated and nonlinear problems where the analyses involve the use of numerical procedures such as the finite element method, this surface may be difficult to determine explicitly in terms of the random variables, and therefore, the limit state function can only be expressed implicitly rather than in a closed-form solution.
