ARYEN MÜHENDİSLİK RAFT FOUNDATION DESIGN

1 - GENERAL
Ultimate strength design method is used for reinforced concrete design.
For the stability check of foundation earth cone method is used.It is assumed that
sides of the cone make an angle (frustrum angle) with vertical.
Foundation design is checked according to overturning and compression.

2 - MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS
Concrete : BS20 (C20)
Characteristic compressive strength of concrete 200 kg/cm2
Design compressive strength of concrete 130 kg/cm2
Design tensile strength of concrete 10,0 kg/cm2
Shear stregth of concrete 10 kg/cm2
Specific weigth of concrete 2400 kg/m3

Reinforcing steel bar :

St IIIa Yield strength of steel 4200 kg/cm2
Max.Allowable Design Stress 3.652 kg/cm2
St I Yield strength of steel 2200 kg/cm2
Max.Allowable Design Stress 1.913 kg/cm2

3 - LOADING
Loads are taken from Structural analysis/foundation loads sheets. Moments at base are
calculated according to these loads. (At both X and Y direction.)

4 - FOUNDATION TYPE
Raft type foundation are used for this antenna type of tower.

5 - SOIL PARAMETERS
Soil parameters are on the calculation sheets for each type of antenna tower.
