Variance of soil parameters: some common misconceptions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper highlights some important concepts in the determination of a representative variance for use in a reliability analysis. Five basic issues are addressed. The linkage to the actual engineering problem is emphasised. These are not new concepts particular to reliability analysis, but analogous to the need for representative soil parameters for making deterministic prediction for real engineering systems. This paper is deliberately written in a somewhat provocative style to stimulate discussions.
