| 1% d | Bearing capacity (kN) | 22324 | 21486 | 20432 | 20226 | 19758 | Percentage (%) | 100.00% | 96.25% | 91.52% | 90.60% | 88.51% |
| 2% d | Bearing capacity (kN) | 48298 | 40921 | 35110 | 34839 | 34365 | Percentage (%) | 100.00% | 84.73% | 72.69% | 72.13% | 71.15% |
| 3% d | Bearing capacity (kN) | 66500 | 52018 | 44000 | 43644 | 42753 | Percentage (%) | 100.00% | 78.22% | 66.17% | 65.63% | 64.29% |
