The test was performed in the centre of Warsaw on the construction site of a future high-rise building to be the tallest building in European Union. The designed building height measured from the ground level is 310 meters including an 80-metre mast. The foundation of the building was designed as a Combined Piled Raft Foundation (CPRF) utilising the barrettes and diaphragm walls technology. The test was carried out on barrettes with lengths of approx. 28 and 34 m and was aimed to estimate the stiffness (load-settlement relation) of the designed 17.5 metre-long barrette situated below the foundation level. In addition to that a series of extensometric sensors was placed inside the barrette to determine the distribution of the axial force.}, type={Article}, title={Analysis of the barrette load investigation of the tallest building in European Union}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/115624/PDF/17_ace-2018-0057.pdf}, keywords={Piled-raft foundation, barette, base injection, extensometer}, }
