 INTERPRETATION CRITERIA
Method Category Definition of Interpreted Capacity (Q)
𝑄𝑉𝐷𝑉 is 𝑃𝑈𝐿𝑇 that gives a straight line when log(1-
Van Der Veen (1953) Mathematical Model P/𝑃𝑈𝐿𝑇 ) is plotted versus total settlement
𝑄𝐶𝐻𝐼𝑁 is the inverse slope (1/m) of a line s/p = 𝑀𝑆 + C
Chin (1970) Mathematical Model where P=load and s=total settlement
𝑄𝑀𝐴𝑍 is the load at the point where the approximate

𝑄𝐵𝐻 corresponds to the point of intersection of
Butler-Hoy (1977) Graphical Construction tangent sloping at 1 Ton/ 1.27 mm and tangent to the
initial straight portion of the curve
Terzaghi and Peck (1967) Settlement Limit 𝑄𝑇&𝑃 is the load that occurs at 1.0 in (25.4 mm) total
settlement
Hirany and Kulhawy’s L1-L2 𝑄𝐿1 and 𝑄𝐿2 correspond to elastic limit and failure

𝑄𝑈𝐿𝑇 is the load at the change in the slope on a
