Table. 4
Comparison of the calculation and test results on the horizontal bearing capacity of the DPR foundations.
| | Horizontal bearing capacity of the piled raft foundation with a cushion | Vertical load 800 N (DPR4) | Vertical load 1600 N (DPR6) | | Test result (N) | Calculation result (N) | Relative error (%) | Test result (N) | Calculation result (N) | Relative error (%) |
