DESIGN OF PAD & CHIMNEY FOUNDATION

Tower Type "A10"
(Towers Include: # PI - 21)
1. INTRODUCTION:
* The purpose of the foundation is to transfer the loads from the structure to the ground without causing the ground to
fail in shear or to allow excessive settlement of the structure to occur. These requirements are met by ensuring the
bearing pressure below the foundation does not exceed permissible bearing pressure.
* The purpose of this calculation is to design Pad & Chimney foundation for "A10" type lattice steel tower structure.
* The foundation is subjected to upward, downward and horizontal forces.
* Foundation loads will be obtained from the tower reactions multiplied by over load capacity factors. These factored loads will be
used in the sizing of the foundation. However, to design steel reinforcements reactions without the OCFs will be used.

In order to calculate the iteraction curve due to the uplift force, it is necessary to calcuate the bending capacity
of the section Mu0 when the axial load is zero, Also we need to determine Pu00 the maximum axial capacity of
the section in the absence of the moment.
we will assume the x value " distance of the center of rotation from the center line of the section" and then it
will be adjusted to be as foolow

7.11 REQUIRED DOWEL BARS BETWEEN COLUMN AND FOOTING:
Even though bearing on the column and footing concrete is adequate to transfer the factored loads, a minimum area
of reinforcement is required across the interface.

Provide 5 Bars of 25 dia ( As = 2290.9 0 )
7.12 DEVELOPMENT OF DOWEL REINFORCEMENT IN COMPREESION:
Shorter development lengths are required for bars in compression than in tension since the weakening effect of
flexural tension cracks in the concrete is not present. The development length for deformed bars or deformed wire in
compression is dc = (db.fy) / (4.Sqrt (f c)), but not less than 0.04.db.fy or 200mm.

4×√ f c
'
dc1 = 496.08 mm
dc2 = 0 . 04×f y ×db

= 420 mm
dc3 = 200 mm
⇒ dc = max ( dc1 , dc2 , dc3 )

= 496.08 mm
This length may be reduced to account for excess reinforcement.
As ( required ) / As ( provided ) = 1800 / 2290.9 = 0.786
Reqiured dc = 496.08 x 0.786 = 389.782 mm
By: MAK
Available length for development in footing :
= Footing Thickness - Cover - 2.( Footing Bar Diameter ) - Dowel Bar Diameter
= 600 - 85 - 40 - 25
= 450 > 389.782 OK Therefore, the dowels can be fully developed in the footing
Note: If case the avilable development length is less than the required length, either increase footing depth or
use larger number of smaller size dowels. Also note that if the footing dowels are bent for placement on top of
the footing reinforcement , the bent portion cannot be considered effective for development the bars in
compression.
