Multivariate probability distributions for index and mechanical clay parameters in Shenzhen
Abstract Probabilistic site characterization is the cornerstone of data-centric geotechnics, which underpins the digitalization in geotechnical engineering. The essential aspect of probabilistic site characterization is to reasonably infer the probability density distributions of geotechnical parameters, based on field and laboratory data. In this paper, a clay property database, SZ-CLAY/11/5130, was established by collecting geotechnical investigation reports from 52 engineering projects in Shenzhen city. This SZ-CLAY/11/5130 database was first compared with the global clay database CLAY/10/7490 and the Shanghai clay database SH-CLAY/11/4051, in terms of their sample ranges, correlations, and scatter plots. Then, the multivariate probability distribution of eight clay parameters was established using the training records selected from SZ-CLAY/11/5130, to characterize the generic correlations between multiple clay parameters. Based on Bayesian theory, the posterior distributions of clay mechanical parameters from a construction site in Shenzhen city were updated using both the site-specific correlations and the generic correlations given by SZ-CLAY/11/5130. The constructed multivariate probability density distribution is necessary for this updating step.
