Influence of statistical sample size on evaluation of overall strength of cement-treated soil column

The quality of the cement-treated soil columns is normally assured based on unconfined compressive strength qu core samples. samples varies spatially and statistical parameters are adopted in assurance procedures. evaluated from sample strengths have a uncertainty depending size. present study investigates influence size evaluation overall column. A probabilistic framework which Bayesian inference analysis finite element method incorporated used to calculate while simultaneously considering spatial variability strength. briefly described parametric performed investigate full-scale numerical results show that correlation strength, can be reasonably using an equivalent number independent data.
