Abstract

A probabilistic analysis framework in which the spatial variability and the statistical uncertainty are considered simultaneously is presented to evaluate an overall strength of a cement-treated soil column. In this framework, the statistical uncertainty is evaluated from sample data using a Bayesian inference. The inference about the statistical parameters is performed by a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. The drawn values of the parameters are adopted when making random fields of strength as realizations. Then, the finite element analysis is conducted for the generated realizations. The framework components are briefly described, and an example analysis is performed to illustrate the influence of the statistical uncertainty and the spatial variability on the evaluation of the overall strength.
