Calculation of the Effective Value of the Uplift Depth for the Tower Foundation in Sloping Ground

Abstract:

Uplift capacity is the main design control parameter of tower foundations. There are many factors to be considered in the design of tower foundations, such as the choice of models and the combination of different factors. The research on the uplift capacity of tower foundation is mainly focused on the foundations built on flat ground, while there is no mature method for the tower foundations placed in sloping ground. Base on the theory of earth pressure and the Mohr Coulomb law, This paper tries to establish the equations to calculate the uplift capacity of tower foundation placed in sloping ground and get the equation to obtain the effective value of the uplift depth for the tower foundation. At the end of the paper, a calculation example is presented using the simplified equation.
