Foundation with pedestal and ribs for towers
Abstract:
A foundation having a central vertical pedestal, a plurality of radial reinforcing ribs extending radially outward from the pedestal. The pedestal and ribs forming a continuous monolithic structure. An anchoring system under the ribs with anchoring the foundation to the ground by anchoring elements connected to rock anchors, soil anchors, piles or the like. The foundation design reduces the weight and volume of materials used, reduces cost, and improves heat dissipation conditions during construction by having a small ratio of concrete mass to surface area thus eliminating the risk of thermal cracking due to heat of hydration.
