Study on bearing capacity of Mortise-tenon and joint-flange concrete assembled foundation of transmission line under combined load. by Xin Hu, Xiaojuan Xi, Yuesong Zheng, Zijun Xiang, Han Zhang

“…Specifically, the deformation of the foundation mainly concentrates on the main column, and the load is unable to be transmitted to the lower structure through the flange. Under combined loading (uplift-horizontal load), the load-displacement relationship curve can be roughly divided into three stages: linear slow rise stage, plastic accelerated rise stage, and linear failure stage. …”
