Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method for increasing the permissible load of the foundation of a pylon provided with a number of legs, wherein at least one tie anchor is arranged in the ground in the vicinity of the foundation of the pylon, and the tie anchor is connected to the relevant foundation. Experience has shown that the existing foundations can generally absorb the great pressure load, but that the tensile stress of the foundation is much more critical. By arranging a tie anchor the permissible tensile strain of a foundation is therefore also greatly increased, while there is not generally a very great need to increase the pressure load, so it can suffice to demonstrate the pressure capability. <IMAGE>
