Description: Designs have been developed (Turnbull et al. 1977) for a reinforced concrete ring foundation for tower silos, such that most of the footing can extend beyond the silo walls. These unbalanced footings were designed to increase the total bearing area under silo foundation and floor without wasting concrete beneath the silo floor. Circumferential reinforcing steel was placed near the bottom of the footing ring to resist the movements predicted from eccentricity of the footing with respect to the silo wall. Based on this, designs for extended ring silo foundations were published as Plans 7411 and 7412, Canada Plan Service (CPS). Figure 1 gives a sequence of construction steps for the CPS extended ring foundation. These plans give the usual
