In addition, variation in site conditions makes it difficult to combine statistical data from different sites. In the process of applying probabilistic methods to geotechnical engineering, the problems tend to be oversimplified, thus the results achieved do not reflect the real issues at the specific site.

. 51 assuring consistent reliability levels between modes of performances, so that resources may be optimally used through a balanced clesign; comparing contributions from individual sources of uncertainty and their relative impact on the reliability of geotechnical performances, thus setting guidelines for a cost-effective site exploration, testing, and instrumentation program and for allocation of further information and future research efforts; and assisting the refinement of engineers' judgment based on site data and observed performances, such that the benefits of judgmental information and observed data may be properly recognized and integrated.
