The Machine. First and most obviously we need to know the dimensions of the machine you're installing. This is going to tell us the length and width of the slab that we will install for the machine foundation. We also need to know the precise weight of the machine. This will help us design the proper thickness of the slab, its composition and ...
The load of the machine is the static load which is of minor importance in the design of a machine foundation. The moving parts of the machine develop inertia forces which are the major forces to be considered in its design. The kinetic or inertia forces are periodic and vibratory in nature, the magnitude of which depends on the type of machine.

A machine foundation, situated beneath the superstructure of vibrating and rotating machines during installation, is essentially a concrete mass. The design process for a machine foundation takes into account both static load and kinetic forces. The static load represents the machine's weight and is of lesser significance in the overall design.
Machine Foundation. The design of machine foundation involves careful study of the vibration characteristics of the foundation system. Relevant data required for the design and construction of the machine foundation of machine should be obtained from the manufacturer of the machine, prior to the start of design. All parts of machine …

Abstract. Many factors have to be taken into account when a foundation is designed for a machine. In particular for rotating machinery, such as pumps, blowers or turbines, a knowledge of the vibrational characteristics of a foundation is of great importance [l], [2]. In this chapter, the principles of the design of a foundation subject to ...
The foundation should be made from concrete mix i.e. cement, sand water in definite proportion. The design of foundation should ensure against sinking of foundation by distributing the load over as much as soil area, in relation with soil bearing capacity. The foundation should not slide over the soil due to horizontal thrust of …
