1 LOADS ON THE GROUND
The tables show the loads on the ground for the different crane configurations according to the
hook height and to the jib range.
In-service and out-of-service base loadings consider the effects of the 2nd Order Theory and
comprehend the static and dynamic uprated safety factors, as provided by FEM 1.001 standards.
Overturning moment with out-of-service crane may have minus sign, when the counterweight effect
prevails that of the wind blowing from the jib rear.
The data shown herein are applicable only to the specific crane configuration indicated. Do not
interpolate or extrapolate the data.
Any variation from the prescribed and recommended data and specifications could result in a
defective foundations and damage to or possible collapse of the crane.
The contractor is responsible for damage caused by an uncorrectly prepared foundation or by
neglecting the site conditions.
F As regards the tower configuration for the different crane installations, refer to chapter 2
(Technical Specifications)
F TWISTING MOMENT
The twisting moment concerns in-service crane (for out-of-service crane, twisting moment is always 0).
but doesnt consider dynamic uprated safety factor as provided by FEM 1.001 standards
(table 1.1).

F Comedil just provides some general requirements concerning the dimensions of the supports.
The actual dimensions shall be calculated by the customer according to the loads transmitted by
the crane on the supports and the bearing capacity of the ground.
The dimensions of the concrete foundation must be calculated by the designer engineer responsible
for the concrete works, who shall refer to the load values indicated in the tables (para. 1) and to the
ground resistance values measured.
The procedure to calculate the concrete foundation dimensions is as follows:
M + (H × h) M = Overturning moment
Assuming e= £ L where:
V+P 3 H = Horizontal thrust
h = Concrete foundation height
V = Axial load
P = Concrete foundation weight
P = L2 × h × ρ
L = Concrete foundation side
r @ 24 kN/m3 (150 lbs/ft3)
f = Friction factor (ground/concrete)
L 2 V+P
1) e> σ = ×
6 3 L × [(L/2) - e]
L V+P
2) e£ σ = × [1 + (6 × e)/L]
6 L2
Simultaneously check the following conditions:
F Note: R configuration (TS12 tower) allows two types of base supports:
- PBR (recuperable foundation plates - picture 2.1.1)
- PBP (expendable foundation anchors - picture 2.1.2)
a) Recent deposits:
Slip - Muds - Fine sand aggregate - Peat ................................................................ 0 (0)
b) Loose/Unstable ground:

d) Unfissured rock (1/5 of ultimate compressive stress) .................... from 10 (142) to 30 (427)
F The design dimensions given for the concrete foundation satisfy the standards stability requirements.
They prevent the crane from overturning, apart from the grounds own resistance.
Refer, then, to table 2.1.1 considering a concrete foundation height of 1.5 m (5ft).
For heights other than the design one (but never less than 1.3 m / 4 ft), consult the Manufacturer.

After excavating the foundation pit and assembling the reinforcement mesh cage of the footing,
postion as many M42 L=1300 anchor bolts as stated in paragraph 2.1.1 and place them as per
picture 2.2.1 (configuration R1) or picture 2.2.2 (configuration R2).

Screw down M42 flat nut (1) on the anchor bolt until there is 137 mm (5 in.) clearance between
the base plate bottom and the anchor bolt head (picture 2.2.5).
Place the anchor bolt in the hole of the plate.
Position washer (3) and screw M42 tall nut (2).
Now the anchor bolts stay at right angle about the surface of the base plate.

Weld or connect the anchor bolts to the reinforcement mesh cage.
Remove the shims used for leveling.
Check the base plates for proper level.
F Tower should be installed level to a tolerance of 1 : 500 (about 1 inch in 40 ft). In case of deviation
from the above value, contact Comedil Engineering Department.
Secure nuts (2) (picture 2.2.8) with M42 lock nuts, thus preventing them from loosening.

Final leveling
To correct any leveling error, remove M42 lock nuts and tall nuts. Then place shims where necessary.
Screw M42 tall nuts down to the plate without tightening them firmly.
Fill the empty spaces between the concrete slab and the base plates with high-resistance concrete.
On completing the crane erection, screw the tall nuts firmly and secure t hem with lock nuts.
Note
F Be sure that, once completed the crane erection and during the crane whole working period, the
part of the anchor bolts jutting out of the concrete foundation is always clean from deposits, earth
or mud and that it doesnt stay into the water for a long time.
After excavating the foundation pit, position the four expendable foundation anchors PBP type
A (configuration R1) or type B (configuration R2) on the four level shims, using DB TS12
special jig frame as specified at para. 2.2.1 (pictures 2.2.3 and 2.2.4).
Then place the reinforcement mesh cage of the footing.
Place no. 16 brackets x1 and no. 16 brackets x2 as shown in pictures 2.2.9 and 2.2.10.
