| Abstract | Determining the joint probability distribution of correlated non-normal geotechnical parameters based on incomplete statistical data is a challenging problem. This paper proposes a Gaussian copula-based method for modelling the joint probability distribution of bivariate uncertain data. First, the concepts of Pearson and Kendall correlation coefficients are presented, and the copula theory is briefly introduced. Thereafter, a Pearson method and a Kendall method are developed to determine the copula parameter underlying Gaussian copula. Second, these two methods are compared in computational efficiency, applicability, and capability of fitting data. Finally, four load-test datasets of load-displacement curves of piles are used to illustrate the proposed method. The results indicate that the proposed Gaussian copula-based method can not only characterize the correlation between geotechnical parameters, but also construct the joint probability distribution function of correlated non-normal geotechnical parameters in a more general way. It can serve as a general tool to construct the joint probability distribution of correlated geotechnical parameters based on incomplete data. The Gaussian copula using the Kendall method is superior to that using the Pearson method, which should be recommended for modelling and simulating the joint probability distribution of correlated geotechnical parameters. There exists a strong negative correlation between the two parameters underlying load-displacement curves. Neglecting such correlation will not capture the scatter in the measured load-displacement curves. These results substantially extend the application of the copula theory to multivariate simulation in geotechnical engineering. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
