Optimal Estimators for Soil Properties
Publication: Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division
Volume 107, Issue 5
Abstract
A recurring problem in geotechnical engineering is to estimate the properties of assumedly homogeneous zones or strata of a soil profile for use in modeling. Aside from the difficulties of measurement bias, the properties of soil themselves vary from point to point, and the question remains of how to combine the varying measurements into point estimates or “equivalent” parameters for deterministic models.
