I already have the geotechnical report

I have to design a tower and I was wondering if it can be a significant factor but it looks like its not. Thanks

I have four books opened in front of me and I can't figure out this thing cause I have no practical knowledge.

ok lets talk about CPT results that are qc and friction how can we used them to calculate the allowable bearing capacity o soil !

Which test results are used to calculate the allowable bearing capacity of soil?

How do I calculate the threshold/allowable settlement ?

I think frost Penetration depth does not primarily depends on the type of soil it more based on the climate of the region and intensity of freezing temperature. any idea what will be the depth with some good reference?

I want to design a shallow foundation for tower with circular base most probably it is a matt kind of foundation but I am confused whether to design as a concentrated load on the footing or a Continuous footing cause the loading will be acted in a circular pattern on the raft. The Dia = 20m...

What should be main controlling factors that should be taken in account while deciding the depth where you want to place your shallow foundation ? How should I decide where I should put the foundation ?

What is the frost penetration depth in Italy. Most precisely I want the frost depth in Pisa. Any data for with or without reference will be helpful. I found that it usually ranges from 1.5' to 3' in Pisa but I am not sure cause I don't have a strong reference on it. Thanks
