Structural Design Calculations

This document contains structural calculations for the design of a foundation and pedestal. Input data includes the dimensions and loads applied. Calculations are shown for bearing pressure, load eccentricity, stability in the x and z directions, and sliding. The bearing pressure is determined to be below the allowable maximum. Factors of safety for overturning and sliding are calculated to be adequate. The summary is that a foundation of size 5.1m x 5.1m x 3.3m deep is selected, with a pedestal of size 2.5m x 2.5m x 0.2m high offset to one edge.
