Services / Tower crane foundations
Tower crane foundations
Crane bases designed for the cases that govern them: in-service and out-of-service reactions, applied at the slewing angles that produce the worst pile or soil pressure.
Scope
- Pad foundations on soil
- Piled bases with a pile cap
- Crane bases on or within permanent structures, by agreement
- Checks of existing crane base designs
Deliverables
- Load application of supplier reactions at 0, 45 and 90 degrees, in and out of service
- SAFE model with pile springs or soil springs from the geotechnical report
- Pile reaction envelopes in compression and tension, bearing and overturning checks
- Punching shear, one-way shear and flexure design of the cap or pad
- Calculation report and reinforcement details
What we need from you
- Crane supplier's foundation load data sheet
- Base type and mast anchorage details
- Geotechnical report and pile capacities
- Site constraints: excavation level, groundwater, adjacent structures
