... the initiation pile was installed, the suction pile installation records were reviewed, before the FLETs installation, to back-analyze the design inputs, such as the design shear strength profiles of the soil, as discussed by Won et al.

... tests consolidated to in-situ pressures. The use of piezocone data in this manner allows the development of a site-specific family of undrained shear strength profiles that are continuous throughout the depth of testing. This profile can complement data from the soil sampling program which inherently...
