Abstract
There is no doubt that the nature is of a stochastic multifactorial character manifesting itself by various excursions, short and long term trends and generally speaking by a scatter of any observed item. It is therefore natural that all our activities should take this fundamental fact into account and should apply methods and models exploiting the probabilistic language. Dimensioning as the process of adjusting a structure to its expected use is not an exception and consequently one should also adopt procedures reflecting the stochastic character of this problem.
