Number, depth and spacing of boreholes7: geotechnical testing9. Appendix f: standard unconsolidated undrained and triaxil compression test (tx uu)24. B - second approach: bearing capacity based on weighted average29. C - third approach: bearing capacity based on cpt test32. Checking the deign bearing capacity against the ultimate load of the tower33. Figure 1 : position of new tower related to pisa tower3.
