Foundations for Equipment and Machinery
Also Known As:
The ACI SP-78:1982 standard is a collection of 15 papers that focus on the design and research of foundations for various types of equipment and machinery. The papers cover a wide range of topics, including baseplate grouting, elevated foundations for reciprocating machines, case studies of machine foundations under dynamic loads, pile supported machines, turbine pedestal structures, and more.
The standard provides valuable insights and guidance on subjects such as vibration isolation, spring and dashpot coefficients for machine foundations on piles, foundation analysis for rotary machines, power plant turbine pedestal structures, controlling vibration through pneumatic isolation, design considerations for dynamically loaded equipment foundations, and dynamic analysis of turbine-generator foundations. It also includes case studies that demonstrate the design and performance of machine foundations under dynamic loads.
Additionally, the standard delves into topics such as precision grouting theory and practice, the influence of taper on frames supporting machines inducing harmonic excitations, and damage caused by vibrations on gangsaw foundations.
