Basic Foundation Design 

Page 5: River Bank Foundation - UMN CCAPS · 2016-11-09 · Objective and Basis • Presentation of design and construction considerations for river bank and river crossing foundations on

Loading Factors

Significantly higher load due to wire 

selection (strength) and tension.

Resulting ground line moments significantly 

higher.

Total loading may result in alternative 

designs.

Loading Considerations

• Guyed vs. self‐supporting• Deadend vs. tangent• Required additions• Markings, lighting, maintenance, underbuild

• Geotechnical (soils/rock)• Environmental concerns• Water flow, flooding, debris, wildlife

Lattice Structures

Page 12: River Bank Foundation - UMN CCAPS · 2016-11-09 · Objective and Basis • Presentation of design and construction considerations for river bank and river crossing foundations on

Structure Loads

Transverse and longitudinal load due to conductor tension

• Changes in line direction• Span length variation• Unbalanced ice• Broken wires• Dynamic loads

Page 13: River Bank Foundation - UMN CCAPS · 2016-11-09 · Objective and Basis • Presentation of design and construction considerations for river bank and river crossing foundations on

• Single Pole w/o Guys (self‐supporting)• Large overturning 

moment (M)

• Relatively small horizontal load (H) 

• Vertical load (V) driven by structure/foundation weight and wire 

• Typically use drilled piers, driven steel caissons

Foundation Design Process

Page 14: River Bank Foundation - UMN CCAPS · 2016-11-09 · Objective and Basis • Presentation of design and construction considerations for river bank and river crossing foundations on

Foundation Design Process

Lattice tower w/o guys

• Small base moment• Relatively small shear load• Large vertical load, downward or upward• Typically use caissons, spread footings, or driven piles

Page 15: River Bank Foundation - UMN CCAPS · 2016-11-09 · Objective and Basis • Presentation of design and construction considerations for river bank and river crossing foundations on

• Borings taken at each pole location:• Identify cobbles, boulders or 

other obstructions

• Drivability a concern

• Soil profile:• Low blow counts

• Soft organic swamp deposits (organic clay, organic silt, peat)

• Loose alluvial deposits (loose silty sand, silt)

• Glacial till (stiff sandy lean clay, stiff clayey sand)

Subsurface Conditions

Page 16: River Bank Foundation - UMN CCAPS · 2016-11-09 · Objective and Basis • Presentation of design and construction considerations for river bank and river crossing foundations on

River Crossing Challenges

• Potential challenges include:• Dynamic terrain changes• Unique structure loading• Poor soil conditions• Unfavorable construction 

access• Environmental restrictions

• Must use communication and collaboration to overcome challenges• Engineers, owners, and 

contractors must work together

Design Alternatives

Page 18: River Bank Foundation - UMN CCAPS · 2016-11-09 · Objective and Basis • Presentation of design and construction considerations for river bank and river crossing foundations on

Alternatives

Considerations:

• Cost• Material availability• Procurement schedule• Hauling requirements• Required construction equipment• Access requirements• Maintenance requirements

Traditional Drilled Piers

• Deep, permanent casing, spoils, many concrete trucks (access)

Vibratory Caissons

• Eliminate need for large amounts of concrete

• Minimal equipment needed

• Requires soils conducive to vibratory installation

• Concrete, pad excavation with high water table

Driven Piles with Pile Cap

Design Considerations

Page 26: River Bank Foundation - UMN CCAPS · 2016-11-09 · Objective and Basis • Presentation of design and construction considerations for river bank and river crossing foundations on

Typical Long Span Concepts

• Tension vs. Height• ↑Tension →↑ Load and ↑Galloping• ↓Tension →↑ Sag →↑Height

• Tangent vs. Deadend• Typically trade height for load and type

Operational Considerations

Terrain → access for construction and maintenance

Additional Support → lighting, supplemental power

Ground → geotech, grounding, ground water, flood plains

Flowing Water → flood plains, debris damage, erosion
