1. LOAD CALCULATION
1.A SOIL BEARING CAPACITY
Since the location of the tower crane is located near on the Sludge Dewatering facility it is assumed
that the soil properties to be considered on this investigation is exactly the same to the soil parameters
that are being used on the design of sludge dewatering facility.

1.B ALLOWABLE AXIAL LOAD PERMITTED AS PER ULTIMATE BEARING CAPACITY

 F.S = 3
 q ult = 2664.54 kPa
 q all = q ult / F.S = 2664.54 / 3 = 888.18 kPa (gross allowable bearing)
 P = q all x area of footing = 888.18 kPa x 6 x 6 = 31,974.48 kN

1.C WEIGHT OF TOWER CRANE (BALLAST TYPE)

 Tower crane (ballast type) = 140 T (BASED ON PRODUCT SERVICE MANUAL)

 Maximum allowable live load = 4.3 T (on minimum radius of the crane)

Since the allowable axial force permitted on the soil based on the computation above by (terezaghi
equation) is 3,260 T (31,974.48 kN) is greater than the total gravity loads of the crane, we can say
that upon compaction and treatment of the existing soil it is safe to install the ballast type crane in
the area.
