7.0 m × 7.0 m × 1.5 m thick.

The objective is to design a safe and cost-effective foundation for a tower crane. Design should prioritize stability against overturning, bearing capacity, and structural integrity under both in-service and out-of-service conditions. 2.

We’ll start by trial and error. Let’s try a square concrete pad: . Calculate the Weight of the Foundation ( Wfcap W sub f ): Would you like a PDF version, or a

Settlement < 25 mm – acceptable for tower crane operation. Let’s try a square concrete pad:

[ W_conc = L \times B \times t \times \gamma_conc = 6.0 \times 6.0 \times 1.2 \times 25 = 1080 , \textkN ] Soil above base (ignore – removed during excavation and not replaced for simplicity – conservative).
