ISSMGE Technical Committee 304 (TC304) advances methods and practice for risk assessment, risk management, and decision-making in geotechnical engineering. The committee promotes risk-consistent characterisation, model uncertainty treatment, performance-based design, and transparent communication of geotechnical risk across asset lifecycles.
Risk and reliability methods for geotechnical design, assessment, and asset management
Uncertainty quantification in ground investigation, parameter derivation, and modelling
Risk-informed decision frameworks (including cost, resilience, and societal consequences)
Monitoring, data assimilation, and updating (Bayesian/ML-enabled)
Case histories and implementation guidance that support industry uptake
