Well, from U.S. Towers the Registered Professional Engineer (State of California) requires the base for the TX-455 to be a single pour. "footing shall be a continuous pour such that cold joints will

At the suggestions of another Tower Talkian I checked out the USAnchor.com website. The below web address has a product that is claimed to be useful for bonding concrete to concrete. I am not sure if

The epoxy concrete bonding adhesive I used when I had to two-pour my nine-yard tower foundation was a Five Star product. It comes in two one-gallon cans, each half full. When it is time to apply, you

Wait a minute!!! This application is NOT like a footing! I hope someone with some credentials will chime in here and keep us from doing some dumb stuff! Footings do not have to withstand overturning

Yes, but the tensile strength of concrete is very low < 1000 PSI. The rebar provides most of the strength anyway even in a monolithic pour. Rick Karlquist N6RK richard@karlquist.com www.n6rk.com www

Not necessarily. Many times in tower bases the purpose of the rebar is to keep the concrete from shrinking and cracking and is not structural. Cheers, Steve K7LXC TOWER TECH

That's interesting and gets us a little closer to the solution, provided the rebar cage design is effective for tensile loads. If the tower manufacturer has done this correctly, and the rebar is plac

Chuck is correct regarding the direction of stresses, and that the pier must be fastened to the base or it will overturn on top of the base. However, it is not difficult to achieve that with the re-b

Hi, Chuck; You are correct on both points. The moment arm I mentioned is correct for the righting moment created by the weight of the pier and structure on it. The moment arm for the re-bar is the di

You are absolutely right. If it is a guyed tower, most of the stress at the base will be a compression force. Very little if any lateral forces on the concrete as these are all taken up by the guys.

No, then you'll have a cold joint which can let water in to attack the steel rebar. Tell him to just form it up properly; it is a little more difficult to do. If you have to do two pours, then specif
