The paper presents the results of the Osterberg load tests performed at Belgrade Waterfront test site. Test results enabled evaluation of side friction and end bearing of the limestone/marlstone formation otherwise difficult to access. Mobilized side friction is several times larger than the side friction commonly used in design by practitioners for the large diameter drilled shafts. High pressure O‐cells manage to achieve 60 MN load (30 MN in each direction) which is significantly higher than specified design load.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
