Know about the book -

Limit State Design In Geotechnical Engineering Practice, Proceedings Of The International Workshop Lsd2003 (With Cd-rom) is written by Kok Kwang Phoon and published by World Scientific. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9814483044 (ISBN 10) and 9789814483049 (ISBN 13).

This publication contains the abstracts of 20 papers, the majority of which were presented at the International Workshop on Limit State Design in Geotechnical Engineering Practice (LSD2003). The complete contributions are available in the accompanying CD-ROM (special lecture not included). The topics covered include: performance-based and limit state design philosophies; issues arising from the implementation of limit state design codes; elaborations of “measured values”, “derived values” and “characteristic values”; reliability-based methodologies for analytical calibration of partial factors; and application of partial factors in FEM where highly nonlinear force-deformation behaviors may govern.
