How to design foundation for steel tower?

Question

i am designing a truss, this truss is having heavy horizontal force so the moment at foundation level is high. since the structure dont required heavy or pile foundation, there seems to be some problem in analysis. please help me with this.
thanks in advance

Answer 1

It sounds to me like maybe the structure DOES require a heavy or pile foundation. The loading is what it is. Lateral loading has to be dealt with somehow. Unless you can use guy wires, you have to resist overturning with either weight or prevent uplift of the footing some way.
