Abstract
This paper presents the results of full scale transmission line foundation tests performed in Brazil. The tests were performed to verify the methods used for determining soil properties for possible modification of the types and basic design parameters of grillage foundations and to investigate concrete cylinder foundations with a view to their possible use as a substitute for grillages.
