Abstract: The disclosure describes, in part, battered composite piles arranged in-line with angled legs of a tower (e.g., lattice tower). The number of battered composite piles may be equal to the number of angled tower legs of the tower, and each of the battered composite piles may attach to a respective angled tower leg and may have batter angles at angles that match an angle of the angled legs of the tower. These battered composite piles are loaded predominantly axially rather than in shear and, thus, the piles may be designed to be much smaller in size while still meeting safety requirements. In addition, the piles may be installed in less time and at a lower cost than compression/lift and shear loaded foundations.
