No data
Are you comfortable with a small
number of data?
A few data
Abundant data
in horizontal direction
Look at water content distribution
Cheap tests
Tested on disturbed soil
Sensitive to change in soil types
Importance of Redundancy
There are variety of uncertainties
testing methods and procedures
sample disturbance
spatial variation of soil properties
Double check and triple check by:
using different method of investigations
increasing number of tests
Statistical consideration
Design value = average value?
Design value = average value one standard deviation?
