There's gunna be a windfarm in my neighbourhood

Have you seen the size of the foundations in high rise buildings, and done any rough calculations on the tonnage in those foundations? They are huge.

 

The primary aim of high rise foundation calculations is determining the soil type and stability. Any unstable soils require lengthy pilings.

 

The Chinese have made some serious errors in soil stability calculations for a number of their high rise buildings.

I was just pointing out that windage is simply an engineering consideration for all structures.
