Abstract

Subsurface investigation results obtained from soils with strong heterogeneity sometimes show a high level of uncertainty about stratigraphy and mechanical characteristics. In these cases, important engineering judgments are dependent on the personal experiences of engineers. However, many of such problems can be solved by applying appropriate statistical approaches. This study introduces the outlier analysis as a one of the statistical solutions and a simple case study is presented as an example.
