Tackling uplift resistance in tall infrastructure sustainably

Tall structures like radio towers experience high wind loads that generate uplift forces at their foundations, a challenge that is increasing burden, as natural occurrences like typhoons and tornadoes become more frequent and severe. Transmission towers, telecommunication masts, and solar power installations are especially susceptible because uplift forces, rather than compressive forces, influence foundational stability.
