The spreadsheet was her bible. Columns A through H held the sacred texts: concrete compressive strength (f’c), soil bearing pressure (qa), overturning moment (M), sliding factor of safety (FS). The yellow cells were inputs—the weight of the crane, the radius of the jib, the wind speed at 50 meters. The green cells were god—the calculated pad dimensions, the rebar spacing, the embedment depth.
She ran the numbers again. Adjusted the pad thickness from 1.2m to 1.4m. The safety factor ticked up to 1.41. Not enough. She increased the footing width from 5m to 5.5m. The concrete volume surged, and the project manager would yell about the cost. Safety factor: 1.44. Tower Crane Foundation Design Xls
