One needs to be careful with the use of index data from routine testing (such asuniaxial tests and the fall cone) to the interpretation of the cuA profile. The mostlikely cuA profile shall follow a ranking of the measurements and the empirical dataas follows:1. Triaxial tests of good quality (very good to excellent quality)2. CPTU (class 1)3. Fall cone/uniaxial test/vane test4. Experience-based cuA/po or SHANSEP.The selected cuA profile should normally lie between the estimated lower andupper bounds of cuA profiles.
