<p>A perimeter weighted foundation (100) has a central pier pedestal (102) and an enlarged base spaced outwardly and extending below the pedestal. The enlarged base includes an outer concentric perimeter wall section with a radially extending, disk-shaped (104) spread section interconnecting the bottom of the pedestal section and the top of the perimeter wall section. The pedestal section includes vertically extending post-tensioning anchor bolts sleeved through substantially the entire height of the cylindrical pedestal. The spread section includes two layers of similarly sleeved post-tensioning bolts which extend through the bottom of the pedestral section and into or through the top of the perimeter wall section, thus tying together the enlarged base to the pier pedestal.</p> |
