That is a freakin deep foundation. How high is the structure? What voltage class and what are you maximum pull offs?

Just curious. I do substation design and sometimes do dead end structures but I've never seen anything that large (other than a pic of coco's ass). I think the biggest foundation I have designed so far was for a 197' cell tower in one of substations. The tower had a foundation that was 8 ft in diameter and 28 ft deep.

On a related note. We could measure her butt by using the water displacement method. This way we can take into account all the curves.

I say we make a plaster cast of her butt. Of course, I'll have to be the one to apply the plaster since it's a hands-on project.

whoa, whoa, whoa. This is my project. I'll gladly let you help me analyze the results but I get first authorship on the paper.
I would much rather handle the raw data if that's ok.

Sorry, but I just can't delegate that. Look at what happened at the UN IPCC when they trusted others to gather their data for them.

Totally different. They screwed up the data, I would just screw with the data.

But that's my job. I tell you what, I'll talk to her and see if she'll be up for another round of experimentation when I'm finished.

 
With all due respect chuck, how do you expect to do any of this from Greenland?

I still say I am in charge for 3 reasons:

1- I am the unofficial Coco specialist

2- I live closer

3- I have her pic as my avatar

The base is in a "river". (In AZ we define rivers funny. This river is actually a wide swath of sand 90% of the time). Was designed to withstand ground losses caused by bank wshouts, erosions from the river, force of full river flow, subsurface scour, oh and.... it's in the vicinity of a sand + gravel mining operation which might put an adjacent pit as deep as 65'.

It's the environmental factors that require the extreme size, a nearby structure is 9'x25'.

Oh and it's 500kV.

 
Isn't Coco Ice Tea's wife?

You sure you playas are up for messing with that pimp's shorty?

Thats a wierd set of circumstances for sure. 500kV is the max voltage class we use in the Northeast. Does AZ have anything above that?

 
There's at least one 750 kV line running N-S through Illinois. I used to drive under the thing every day on my way to work.

Not to my knowledge. We have 69/230/500.... with a tiny bit of 115. I'm not aware of anything over 500 on the western interconnection, but I've been wrong before.
