| Abstract: | This paper deals with quantifying the uncertainty associated with settlement predictions that are based on elastic theory. Because of spatial soil variability, deterministic solutions cannot provide information about the likely error of the prediction. Accordingly, it is only through luck that a particular deterministic prediction coincides with the observed settlement. |
