Why Aster’s Tower Foundation design
At Aster we design customized foundation of towers as per the customer requirements.
While designing foundation for telecom towers, live loads such as wind are considered. Winds tend to create tensile uplift forces in the foundation. Design parameters like diameter, length and spacing are normally determined to ensure the overall stability of foundations in a given rock mass, allowable displacement and the risk of tendon corrosion.
Assessment of the overall safety factors is arrived at from:
- Construction drawings with Concrete volume and Bar bending schedule
- Excavation plan with pit dimensions
- Estimations during tender stages
