Thanks for the video. In the PBR, you mentioned the mat is to be checked for 330kn/m2. If that's the pressure from the tracks, shouldn't you apply a factor of safety and test up to that pressure? E.g if you use a FoS 2.0, then it should be 2 x 330 = 660kn/m2. Also, what is the settlement criteria? Is there an acceptable maximum limit? Thanks

[@SITENG]

It probably was with the factor of safety included, although I can't remember now. Results were sent to piling contractor and the client for interpretation and acceptance. We did not have a clear number/limit which could make us sure, as this also depends on the weather conditions - I bet the client wanted to make the final decision taking everything into consideration
