    1) The base plate and anchor bolts for a tower foundation were designed to resist both compressive and tensile loads. 2) Under compressive loading, the 700x700x40mm base plate and 8 bolts of 30mm diameter were designed to resist an axial load of 774.9kN and lateral load of 51.3kN. 3) Under tensile loading, the same base plate and bolts were designed to resist a tensile load of 774.9kN by checking the individual bolt capacities and combined shear and tension.
