A Study on the Statistical Determination of Design Parameters Considering the Original Distribution Characteristics

In this study, design parameters were determined statistically with and without consideration of original distribution characteristics. Obtained parameters were applied to test numerical analysis and the results were compared. Distribution characteristics of statistically treated parameters show the similar characteristics of original distribution. Mean values show more than 19% of errors between the two cases. Regarding the characteristics as normal distribution can cause distorted results, it is proper to consider the original distribution characteristics of the parameters.
