Advancements in Statnamic Data Regression Techniques

Until recently, the analysis of Statnamic test data has typically incorporated the "Unloading Point Method" to determine an equivalent static capacity. The Unloading Point (UP) method requires that the foundation move as a rigid body, thus excluding stress wave phenomenon from the analysis. If this requirement is met the foundation capacity can be determined using this simplified method. However, many foundations do not meet the UP criteria …
