Abstract: The present work is devoted for studying the behavior of shallow footings subjected to vertical pullout force only. This research is applicable particularly in the construction of high voltage electrical network in Egypt, which has required the construction of thousands of lattice towers of different shapes and sizes. The total cost of foundation works in a transmission project may be quite high; therefore, the investigation for the pullout resistance of footings is very important in order to achieve rational and economical design for the footings.
The ultimate pullout resistance of footing-soil system is calculated as a function of the footing geometrical dimensions and soil properties. The pullout resistance mainly depends on different factors namely, depth of embedment, soil density, footing width and percentage of fine content.
The study was done by performing experimental work comprising footing plate models, fabricated to fit into a tank 60 x 40 x 40 cm.
Keywords: Pullout force, Uplift resistance, Anchor footing, Footings of lattice towers.
