Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of laboratory test simulations using an elastoplastic model

The role played by the soil behaviour is fundamental in geotechnical analyses. The factors that constitute the essential elements of a well modelling besides a powerful method to solve the boundary value problem are: necessary data, an appropriate constitutive model and adequate model parameters. The necessary data are obtained by laboratory tests or/and in-situ measurements. In the case where they are not available, correlations can be used.
