Описание
The concurrent foundation failure of Telecommunication Masts in Nigeria and all over the world which endangers the lives and properties of residents situated within the fall distance of the telecommunication mast i.e the horizontal distance when the Telecommunication mast is placed horizontally on the ground is a thing of great concern. In this research, a GSM mast that underwent a foundation failure was critically examined with a view of providing Engineering solution. The application of Boussinesq’s and Westergaard’s formulae for point loads using Java programme to simulate and compute the Stress Distribution at various predetermined depths shows the Stress Distribution pattern beneath the failed foundation of the structure.
