GEOTECHNICAL SITE DESCRIPTION USING STOCHASTIC INTERPOLATION

A probabilistic site description method is described which minimizes and quantifies the uncertainty introduced by mapping. The method is based on the evaluation of the spatial correlation structure of a soil property and the application of the kriging technique for interpolation. Kriging is a stochastic interpolation method that accounts for the uncertainties associated with the soil properties. A few examples of the application of this method for North Sea sites are presented.
