Abstract

This paper presents easy-to-use tools for constructing joint distributions given multivariate geotechnical data. Two scenarios are addressed (a) complete multivariate data: the Iman-Conover method will be adopted; (b) incomplete multivariate data: the Bayes' net will be adopted. Examples of multivariate geotechnical data will be presented to illustrate the procedures for constructing the joint distributions under both scenarios and to demonstrate the practical uses of these joint distributions for the purpose of site characterization.
