What is Geotechnical Data Probability Distributions about?
This paper discusses the importance of selecting appropriate probability distribution functions (PDFs) for geotechnical data analysis, emphasizing that the normal distribution often does not fit the data well, particularly when coefficients of variation are high. Case studies from road and bridge projects illustrate the inadequacies of the normal PDF and suggest that alternative distributions, such as log-normal, may provide better fits. The findings highlight the need for careful statistical evaluation to
