STANDARD DESIGN DATAUnfactored Loads*
The following values are for reference only andrepresent the typical design loads applicable to a standard Metal Foundations design and installation method.
• Shear Force – 55.0 Kips• Axial Force Up – 50.0 Kips• Axial Force Down – 70.0 Kips• Torsional Moment – 300.0 Kip-ft• Overturning Moment – 3,000.0 Kip-ft
*In the event a higher value than those listed above and/or a restrictive condition of allowable deflection is required, our highly-trained engineers will custom design a steel foundation, with specific installation procedures and equipment, to meet your needs.
