The two data sets are used as inputs to a linear elastic 3D finite element numerical model to estimate the initial lateral pile-soil stiffness. The question of how much the pile deflection curve depends on the different Gmax derivation methods is discussed throughout the paper. The study reveals a high importance of stratigraphy for this task, and shows that average input stiffness differences up to 20% throughout the profile do not lead to pile deflection changes at the mudline for the discussed regime.enconference paper
