Question
It is required to evaluate the ability of the foundation system of a telecommunication tower to satisfy the bearing capacity requirements. The tower is high steel structure supported on three legs and each leg is supported by a shallow foundation system known in the industry as "Pad and Pier", as shown in Figure The geometrical configuration and structural design of the foundation is as shown in Figure
The soil profile at the site is as follows: Top soil from to ; Sandsilty till from to ; Sandy silt from to ; Fine sand from to ; and Silt
The water table elevation is below ground surface.
The soil design parameters are as follows:
Bulk unit weight: from to ; from to ; submerged unit weigh, from to ; for depth
Angle of internal friction, from to from to ; from to ; and for depth Take angle of wall friction,
Two load cases are to be considered for each foundation: shear with tension; and shear with compression. The axial compressive load is and the corresponding shear load is The axial uplift load is and the shear load is The analysis is to be done following the simplified analysis approach using the bearing capacity equations.
