would cause the concrete to resist as a distributed load. The moment would induce axial<br />

resistance. Figure 2-4(b) shows the <strong>for</strong>ce configuration acting on the foundation and how it<br />

would resist the <strong>for</strong>ce by bearing on the concrete.<br />

2.2.3 Pipe with Welded Studs<br />

In this option, the steel pipe would be welded with symmetrically oriented rows of steel<br />

studs through the depth of the foundation. The purpose of the studs would be to provide<br />

resistance to both flexural and torsional loading. The installation of this foundation would be the<br />

same as both the embedded pipe and plates and the embedded geometric hollow section<br />

foundations.<br />

The welded studs would transfer the shear, flexure, and torsion from the steel<br />

superstructure to the concrete. All of the torsional and bending <strong>for</strong>ces can be resolved into shears<br />

on the studs at their various angles of loading. The studs would resist the shear by bearing on the<br />

concrete. Figure 2-5 shows the <strong>for</strong>ce configuration acting on the foundation as well as the<br />

resistive bearing <strong>for</strong>ces from the concrete.<br />
