With the prescence of Eurocode 7 standards the reliability-based design appeared and it is still spreading in geotechnics. In geotechnical design it is essential that we know the physical parameters of the soils as accurately and safely as possible. Therefore experiments and series of experiments are carried out and characteristic values are determined with the tools of statistics. Characteristic parameters are defined as cautious estimates of the soil parameters affecting the limit state. This paper aims to show the basic idea of the determination of characteritic values and describe the different definiton methods for laboratory testing and based on samples collected from larger area. In addition this paper is a contribution to show the application of Eurocode 7 design methodology, based on the limit state design.
