In this section, the DAFs based on contact pressure, soil stress and foundation settlement are examined considering four different wind speed conditions, i.e., v¯hub = 8 m/s, 11 m/s, 15 m/s and 20 m/s, which cover an extensive portion of the observed range of wind speeds in mountainous areas. The acceleration and velocity at the ground surface that are caused by dynamic wind loads are also analyzed. In the following analyses, the dimensions are normalized with respect to the external base radius of
