The correct answer is (b) A.F. Van Weele

The best explanation: The separation of Q at any stage of loading into Rp and Rf in cyclic test is based on experimental found value of A.F. Van Weele (1957) that the load on the pile toes (1957) that the load on the pile toe (i.e. RP) increases linearly with the elastic compression of the soil.
