Abstract

The article explores the challenges and solutions for designing foundations for lightweight tower structures such as wind turbines and tower cranes. It introduces high-performance solid raft foundations with bottom cutouts, which effectively resist moment loads and comply with regulatory edge pressures. The research includes both symmetric and nonsymmetric cutout designs, demonstrating substantial material savings and enhanced stability. Practical examples and field tests validate the performance of these foundations, offering a compelling case for their adoption in construction projects.
