Abstract
The ultimate uplift capacity of foundations with special reference to transmission tower footings is evaluated. A number of model uplift tests made by the authors and by others were studied and compared with full-scale tests. These tests showed a complex failure mechanism which varied with the depth of the foundation. Using simplifying assumptions a general theory was produced. It was shown that with suitable modification for shape and depth a useful relationship was available for computing the full-scale uplift capacity of foundations. It was further shown by model tests that the theory could be modified to take into account group action. Further research is required to evaluate the effect of combined loads and long-term effects.
