Abstract

Simplification of the geotechnical model and soil parameters is common in engineering practice however review of the performance to verify and updated the prediction is seldom. However, oversimplification may not capture the appropriate conditions for reliable settlement prediction. Bayesian back analysis provides a way to update the adopted prior parameters using monitored data. Parameters such as the compression ratio, recompression ratio, creep strain rate and the coefficient of compressibility were treated as random variables. Prior predictions for a three layered model were analysed using two numerical analysis programs for comparison. Posterior predictions using a simplified model showed the surface settlement was well predicted utilising about 117 to 215 days of observed data. The settlement data was used to update the selected parameters through Bayesian back analysis to fit the time-settlement history.
