Abstract: | This paper attempts to quantify the amount of luck associated with accurate prediction of ground settlement. It is shown that whether the design uses the mean, or some other percentile value of the soil parameter, spatial soil variability renders the deterministic prediction incapable of providing and information about the likely error of prediction. |
