Tower Crane Foundation Design: Xls

Provide a comprehensive, actionable reference and checklist for designing tower crane foundations and implementing a usable Excel workbook ("Xls") to perform calculations, checks, and documentation for typical tower crane projects.

For a square footing, the width ( B ) should be roughly ( B = \sqrt\frac3 \times Mq_all ). If the XLS output differs by more than 20%, investigate the input assumptions. Tower Crane Foundation Design Xls

Check P-max and P-min at the base.

Include a section for rebar spacing and concrete grade (C30/37 or higher) to handle the shear forces at the crane’s mast connection. Is your foundation ready to carry the load? Check P-max and P-min at the base
