I'm confused by the 20 meters and 14 meters..


So, you have a 20m tower now that is sitting on a concrete foundation 
block of some sort.

You want to add concrete to the *top* of the existing block?  (so the 
distance from top of concrete to top of tower will become less?)

Are you trying to shorten the tower (from a bending standpoint), by 
embedding the bottom 6 meters of the tower in concrete?

Seems there are easier ways to solve this problem.

Is the tower freestanding or guyed?
