Tower Crane Foundation: 1.1 Basic Data

This document provides details on the design of a tower crane foundation, including geometry, materials, loads, and design assumptions. It describes the foundation as having dimensions of 7.5m x 7.5m x 2m. The concrete has a characteristic strength of 30 MPa. Loads include dead and live loads from the crane and foundation. Geotechnical design assumes sandy clay soils with an internal friction angle of 20 degrees. Reinforcement requirements are calculated for bending moments and shear forces, with minimum reinforcement of 0 cubic meters.
