The invention relates to a movable arm type
tower crane underframe ballasting foundation and a construction method. The foundation is arranged at the upper portion of a
basement and comprises a cross-shaped steel beam used for installing a
tower crane underframe, and a
tower crane support cushioned at the lower portion of the cross-shaped steel beam, the
tower crane support comprises a reinforcedconcrete beam used for placing the cross-shaped steel beam and supporting columns used for supporting the
reinforced concrete beam, the supporting columns are frame columns arranged at the crossed positions of transverse frame beams and longitudinal frame beams of the
basement in a supported mode, the frame columns extend out of the ground elevation and then are fixed to the bottom of the
reinforced concrete beam, and a plurality of concrete column piers used for fixing the
reinforced concrete beam to a
basement roof are fixed to the bottom of the reinforced concrete beam at intervals. According to the foundation and the method, a basement structure is used for fixing and supporting the
tower crane support, meanwhile, a traditional concrete bearing platform is replaced with the reinforcedconcrete beam, on the premise that the
bearing capacity of the
tower crane foundation is not reduced, raw materials are saved,
construction waste is reduced, and the cross-shaped steel beam is placedon the tower crane support, so that a tower crane is more convenient and quicker to disassemble and assemble, and the foundation is suitable for the installation of tower cranes of various models.
