This contribution discusses some possible roles for reliability and risk in forensic geotechnical engineering. A preliminary statistical framework is presented to quantify the difference between expected and observed performance in the presence of unavoidable and potentially significant geotechnical variabilities. The probable ranges of geotechnical variabilities are reviewed. Other potentially useful results in the recent reliability and risk literature are highlighted. The intention of this chapter is to stimulate further discussions and research in this important but somewhat overlooked area.

Abstract
This contribution discusses some possible roles for reliability and risk in forensic geotechnical engineering. A preliminary statistical framework is presented to quantify the difference between expected and observed performance in the presence of unavoidable and potentially significant geotechnical variabilities. The probable ranges of geotechnical variabilities are reviewed. Other potentially useful results in the recent reliability and risk literature are highlighted. The intention of this chapter is to stimulate further discussions and research in this important but somewhat overlooked area.
