The article concerns the random dispersion of deformation indicators, especially the influence of subsidence fluctuation on the distribution of inclinations and curvatures. Surface curvatures have significant influence on building objects. The article includes the probability studies of displacement fluctuation for two arbitrarily close but different points. It was determined, if the probability is dependent on each other or not. Therefore, the separate deformation indicators can be considered to damage hazard assessment of building objects, if their standard variation of fluctuation is well determined (dependent on the fluctuation of vertical and horizontal displacements). Consequently, it is possible to determine the confidence intervals of fluctuation for all separate deformation indicators. Even in a case of low values of predicted separate curvatures, their values can be significant higher when considering their natural dispersion.
