Контекст:
=============================================
The only test which can derive the ultimate resistance is the maintained load test if loads are sufficient and held constants for a long enough period. Other tests require subsequent interpretation. Similarly, dynamic testing methods cannot measures consolidation or creep under load. Any approximations made to the results for the purpose of establishing ***load/settlement relationships*** should therefore be made clear in test reports.
