<enumeration value="unloading point method">
<annotation>
<documentation>Derives an equivalent static load-displacement curve from the measured force-pulse and displacement data by removing velocity-dependent (damping) resistance at the point of maximum displacement, where velocity is momentarily zero. The standard interpretation method for rapid load test data.</documentation>

<enumeration value="modified unloading point method">
<annotation>
<documentation>A refinement of the Unloading Point Method that additionally accounts for the unloading stiffness of the ground, improving the derived static resistance where the basic method under- or over-predicts it.</documentation>
