Overhead Power Lines

Abstract

Foundations of supports are designed to transfer the foundation loads resulting from the structures according to the individual load cases into the subsoil with sufficient reliability, while inadmissible movements of the foundation body may not occur. Standards such as chapter 8 of EN 50431–1 [13.1] stipulate the rules for selection, analysis, structural design and verification of foundations.
