Advanced Estimation Procedures for Spatially Defined Geotechnical Data

该研究计划制定基于统计分析的抽样计划和策略，以获得地质场地的地质力学特性，并将这些估计扩展到对建设项目重要的空间区域。将研究改进的统计程序，包括自协方差函数的最大似然估计，以确定它们在预测空间趋势方面的有效性。现场抽样计划将通过模拟和来自八个不同案例研究的数据进行调查。

The research program develops sampling plans and strategies based on statistical analysis to obtain geomechanic properties in a geologic site and extends these estimates to cover the spatial regions of importance to construction projects. Improved statistical procedures which include the maximum likelihood estimate of the autocovariance functions will be investigated to determine their effectiveness in predicting the spatial trends. Site sampling plans will be investigated by using simulation and data from eight different case studies.
