1. Why Use a Tower Crane Foundation Design Spreadsheet (XLS)?

The total vertical load includes the dead weight of the crane components (mast, jib, counter-jib, and counterweights) added to the maximum rated lifting load. Horizontal Forces (

Horizontal loads are primarily caused by wind pressure acting on the crane structure and the suspended load. Dynamic forces from slewing (rotating) and traveling also contribute to horizontal shear at the base. Overturning Moments (

A 35-story residential tower in soft clay. The site team planned a 5m x 5m x 1.5m pad foundation for a crane with a 200 tm overturning moment. The geotech report said 150 kPa bearing capacity.

Incorporates breakout cone failure, pull-out capacity, and side-face blowout per ACI 349 or EN 1992-4.

Your spreadsheet should be adaptable to the three most common crane foundation types: A. Isolated Pad Footing (Gravity Base) Horizontal Forces ( Horizontal loads are primarily caused

High water tables reduce soil bearing capacity and trigger buoyancy forces that make the footing lighter, drastically lowering its resistance to overturning.
