PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to verify the steel grillage foundation of the
Towers 22A1.2T in Soil type III, which is 3 kg/cm of compression capacity.

2.00

STANDARDS & REFERENCES

The calculations have been done on the basis of the loads on the foundations,
according to the tower calculations provided by the tower designer.
The calculations have as a technical reference the book of R.F. Craig, Soil
Mechanics.

Earth truncated pyramid

It is defined liquid area of steel grillage as area in direct contact with soil [m2]
according to the formula
Aliq = Z1 b b1 + Z 2 b2 c 2 Z1 b1 b2

where:
Z1 Total number of L profiles used for grillage
b1 profile width [cm]
b length of L profile([cm]
Z2 total number of transverse profiles U used for grillage
b2 profile width [cm]
c length of U profile [cm] (in this case b=c=200cm)
The coefficient of liquid area is a relation between surface covered by grillage and
liquid area of the project

STRESS CALCULATION
According to "Soil Mechanics - R.F. Craig page 178", horizontal stress:
1 sin
1 sin
3 = 1
2 c
1 + sin
1 + sin

where

3 = horizontal stress
1 = vertical stress (allowable pressure)
a, b, g: geometric characteristics of grillage
h: foundation depth
a = 1.17m
g = 0.415m
b = 2m
The horizontal dimensions at top of foundation taking account the influence of
frustum angle are
l = D F tan = 1,386m

B = C = b + 2 l = 4.77 m

The soil volume influenced by the grillage [m3] is

Vt =

h
B C + b c + B C b c
3

If the soil weight is PT [kgf] and the estimated weight for foundation grillage PG
[kgf] = 280 kg. Then the safety coefficient for anchored soil:
P + PG
F .S . = T
FTi

1,5

The medium soil pressure is:
