This paper follows on previous paper "numerical model of the dynamic load response in the soil using Latin hypercube sampling method". In this paper the Latin Hypercube Sampling method (LHS) is used in order to evaluate the values of input parameters of real rock environment. The resulting values of the models were compared with the experimental in-site measurements. Twenty input values were generated for each input parameter. The peak oscillation velocities were calculated for 15 different surface points. The results were statistically analyzed in each distance (the basic statistical characteristics were evaluated). Based on this stochastic analysis the attenuation curve of the vibration velocity with the certain level of probability were determined.
