Foundations for transmission structures are subjected to unique loading conditions in which a high portion of the load is transitory and involves high uplift forces or high overturning moments with little vertical loading. Information concerning the design of foundations subjected to such loading conditions has not been readily available to designers in a single document. Thus, the objective of this guide is to provide in a single source available information on design methods for foundation design engineers. The information contained in this guide covers the modes of foundation loads for various types of transmission structures; the scope of subsurface investigations; alternate methods for designing spread foundations, drilled shafts, pile foundations, and anchors; and procedures for conducting load tests.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
