This paper aims at providing engineers with understandable load (stress) movement curves whenever load tests are available. The idea is to allow correct interpretations of test results. When they are not available, the idea is to predict what would have been their results on basis of conventional field tests, the Standard Penetration Test, SPT, the Cone Penetration Test, CPT or the Menard Pressuremeter, PMT.
