Initial preload
600 kN
Material estimation:

Calculating the quantities requires some assumptions as

o Anchored bolts interface has not been considered. Grout quantity, pedestal higher stiffness concrete,
anchor bolts and templates are not included in the estimation.

o Calculating the reinforcement of anchor bolt interface is preformed according to other previous designs,
medium diameter in tower base and bending moment.

o Steel amounts have been calculated with extra 10% to cover possible deviations.
