DESCRIPTION
VALUE
Foundation Type
Shallow foundation
Bearing Material
2,500 psf
1 inch
Approximately 1/2 of total settlement
The recommended net allowable bearing pressure is the pressure at the base of the
shallow foundation in excess of the adjacent overburden pressure. Assumes any
unsuitable materials, if encountered, will be undercut and replaced with engineered fill.

Crane Capacity
and Proper Configuration
The new cranes with super lift counterweights are
often misunderstood by the lay person.
They have to achieve somewhere between 80 and
90 percent of capacity to float the auxiliary
counterweight.
