Type 2: GWL at terrain VERTICAL SECTION Concrete grade 5 MPa

Soil conditions on site has to be checked

by a geological competent person.
Conditions can be checked visually and DS
compared to those expected in the
neighbourhood.

CONCRETE
The followind demands defines
the concrete:

0,58a
Min. cylinder strength: 30 MPa.
Enviroment class: Moderate
Control class: Normal
Max. gravel size: 32 mm.

0,29a
Min. concrete layer: 50 mm.

A vibrator must be used during concreting.

REINFORCEMENT
a
Only rib bar steel is used. Tower system
Yield stress > 550 N/mm².
Reinforcement is listed in the enclosed form
refering to positions in the drawings.
Reinforcement is tied up in every second cross point.
(no welding on reinforcement).

FOUNDATION BOLTS
Delivered by Carl C. A/S and mounted on PLAN
templet to ensure correct placement.
L1/L3 (GWL below foundation level)
REMARKS
L2/L4 (GWL at terrain)
All measurement are in mm.

Filling around and over the foundation must

take place before tower erection.

The foundation is calculated for loading, similar

to max. utilization of the tower bottom section.
CALCULATION

Loads on top of foundation according to

Eurocode.
