uniaxial compressive strength (ucs) is one of the most significant factors on the stability of underground excavation projects. most of the time, this factor can be obtained by exploratory boreholes evaluation. due to the large distance between exploratory boreholes in the majority of geotechnical projects, the application of geostatistical methods has increased as an estimator of rock mass pro...

Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) is one of the most significant factors on the stability of underground excavation projects. Most of the time, this factor can be obtained by exploratory boreholes evaluation.

Reference Evapotranspiration (ET0) is a basic parameter for determination of irrigation program. It is one of the most important factors in water resources management and considers as a requirement for every irrigation and drainage plans. Because of the spatial variations of ET0, it is necessary to use from intrapolation methods in order to estimation of this parameter in regional studie. Using...

A new methodology has been developed to design optimal monitoring network to estimate the transient pollution plume resulting from active pollution sources in a contaminated aquifer. An optimization algorithm is linked with geostatistical kriging model as well as a numerical simulation model. Simulated annealing is used as the optimization tool. The physical process in the aquifer, i.e., the fl...

In this article objective have been made to reviews different geostatistical methods available to estimate and simulate petrophysical properties (porosity and permeability) of the reservoir. Different geostatistical techniques that allow the combination of hard and soft data are taken into account and one refers the main reason to use the geostatistical simulation rather than estimation. Uncert...

In this paper we show the usage of robust multivariate statistical methods in geostatistics. A usual procedure to estimate the values of variables (e.g. geochemical variables) measured at certain points of a region is to apply geostatistical methods like Krige estimation (based on the estimation of variograms). Here we emphasize robust principal component and factor analysis for the preliminary...

This paper focuses on an overview of kernel density estimation especially for what concerns the choice of bandwidth and intensity parameters according to local conditions. A case study inherent seismic risk analysis of the old town centre of Potenza hilltop town has been discussed, with particular attention to the evaluation of the possible local amplifying factors. This first integrated applic...
