The slope of the force x deformation curve at any point is the tangent (T) obtained from the initially derived equation (T=d+2e.x+3f.[x.sup.2]), where the maximum tangent is obtained at the curve
inflexion point, and x=-e/3f is considered as an indicator of product hardness.
For test piles #2 and #3,
inflexion points appear on the Q-s curves when the loads reach 2007 kN and 2053 kN, respectively; according to Chinese code GB 5007-2011 [12], take the load value as ultimate bearing capacity of the pile, the load value corresponds to the
inflexion point.
(2) Lordotic angle ITL-ILS (max') (lordotic angle
inflexion point thoracic lumbar-
inflexion point lumbar-sacral max[degrees]): this is the maximum lordotic angle measured between the tangents to the surface of the thoracic lumbar
inflexion point ITL and the lower lumbar-sacral
inflexion point ILS.
