well there are lots of PE's that disagree. I have formed hundreds of holes 36" round X 8 feet with 4 yards of cement and they have held up for years. When was the last time a tractor-trailer truck st

FWIW, on my HDX5106 I had a 6 ft round hole (9 ft deep) dug with a large auger truck. I had a round rebar cage fabricated by a local rebar shop, and dropped it in the hole. No problem at all. Rick N6

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to have your PEs take the following data and convert it to a 36" round hole... http://www.ustower.com/hdx572.pdf Unlike a light pole that has a 8" - 12" b

I'm going to have to argue just a bit. I suspect that whomever did the engineering on the tower base drew a square hole for the foundation. If that is the case, you have an engineered solution and i

provide (and have on here) drawing certified by PE and state contractors that disagree with your assessment. The basis is that the PE that calculated and stamped the plans has designed the hole. In t

Not necessarily. If the mass is being used as a "big weight in the ground", then that's what's important. If it's for a free standing tower, then it's mostly resisting the overturning moment, so long

I agree. Calculating equivalences (round versus square) almost for sure requires a competent engineer, and it might even (maybe even probably) be significantly different depending upon location. For
