The basis of designing the foundations of telecommunication towers is for the purpose of blunting and reversing. In the EIA-RS-222-F standard for foundations, the minimum depth within defined formulas is the most cost-effective foundation for foundations, due to the fact that the towers are prone to wind damage. In the self-supporting towers, due to the stretch of one of the foundations, it is pinnacle, and in monopole towers it is a candle in the presence of a large torque at the foot of the mast.

Due to the problems of excavation, the foundations on the rocky terrain are superficial and widespread, which, due to their high weight, can withstand the overturning torque.
