Could any one please clarify me if the contours traced are those of different soft wares superimposed one on the others or are they the contours traced by same software over the same site. If they are contours traced from the same software over same site (and not contours traced from different soft wares superimposed one on the others), I do not see the connection between the comments made at the footnote (on the right of the load contour) to the image (on the left) regarding the difference in pile load distribution.
Again, why should the settlements recorded at the least loaded points (green shade) be greater than those recorded at the more heavily loaded points(yellow, orange, red shade)?
