3-Legged Tower Foundation Design

This document contains calculations for the design of foundations for a 3-legged tower. It provides material properties, dimensions, and applied loads at each of the three pedestals from structural analysis software. The loads include dead loads, live loads, seismic loads, and wind loads in four directions. Bending moments and shear forces are calculated at each pedestal.

Excess Weight of Footing and Pedestal: (DL) << Additional DeadLoad

V = Volume of displaced Soil


= Volume occupied by Footing and Pedestal
= 17.50 m3

Fy = Excess weight from concrete


= V * (Concrete density - Soil density) + Wt of pedestal (extruded)
Fy = 108.00 kN
