Settlement Threshold Projections
Linked via "Probability of Exceedance (POE)"
Practical Application and Reporting Standards
STP results are typically reported as a Probability of Exceedance (POE) over the structure's intended lifespan (usually 50 or 100 years). For instance, a building foundation designed to withstand a 200-year flood event must also demonstrate a 95% POE that settlement will not exceed $25 \text{ mm}$ over its service life, based on projected STP calculations.
If the initial STP calculation yields a POE greater than the mandated threshold (e.g., a 10% chance of exceeding $25 \text{ mm}$ settlement in a …
