Grout/Concrete-filled pipe legs
Grout/Concrete-filled pipe legs
(OP)
I am looking for information regarding calculation of the compressive capacity of grout-filled pipe legs for a self-support communication tower.
The design info I have (from CSA S16.1) appears to be largely empirically derived. I feel like I'm simply plugging in numbers. Is there an accepted design approach that involves transforming the grout/concrete into steel? Does anyone have experience with this?
Any comments would be appreciated.

Check with University of Toronto Professor Michael P. Collins. He is the candian genius for concrete etc.

You will need Mathcad 2000 or newer.
