The document provides an overview of the design procedure and requirements for analyzing the dynamic response of a tabletop foundation that supports large turbine equipment. It outlines the steps, which include preliminary sizing, determining design loads, performing a modal analysis to identify natural frequencies, and conducting a dynamic analysis using time-history or response spectrum methods. Design criteria are specified, such as limiting vibration velocities, operating within 0.8-1.2 times the foundation's natural frequency, and not exceeding 75% of allowable bearing capacity under static and dynamic load combinations. The document describes the loads considered, including static, seismic, and dynamic loads from unbalanced rotating masses, and how they are modeled in the structural analysis.

Overview
Tabletop-type foundation
Elevated support is common for large turbine-driven equipment such as
electric generators. Elevation allows for ducts, piping, and ancillary items
to be located below the equipment.
Tabletop structures are considered to be flexible, hence their response to
dynamic loads can be quite complex and depend both on the motion of its
discreet elements (columns, beams, and footing) and the soil upon which
it is supported.

Overview

Static Structural Analysis:
Might ensure that the design will withstand steady-state loading conditions, but it may
not be sufficient, especially if the load varies with time.
Dynamic Structural Analysis:
Used to determine the behavior of structures subjected to loads which vary with time.
Inertia, and possibly damping of the structure play an important role.
Dynamics also include the study of free vibrations, i.e., the oscillations of a structure
after the force causing the motion has been removed.

Response Time History Analysis:
A response time history analysis can be used to calculate a structure’s response
to time varying loads.
This analysis is performed using the modal superposition method used in
STAAD.
A machinery foundation is defined as a structure subjected to harmonic loading,
therefore the analysis is carried out applying unbalancing forces for checking
the vibration performance.

The dynamic loads due to unbalanced masses are generally reflected by loading sinusoidally-varying
loads at the C.O.G in the analysis model including the rigid links and a lumped mass attached at the
dynamic loading point. If dynamic loads are applied at the anchor points, those loads should include the
additional coupled forces.

Because the motion repeats itself over equal intervals of time, it is called
periodic motion. Furthermore, motion that is described in terms of the
circular functions, sine and cosine, is known as harmonic motion. (All
harmonic motion is periodic, but not all periodic motion is harmonic.)
The parameter p is referred to as the (natural) circular frequency, E is called
the amplitude, and α is known as the phase angle. As shown in the figure
above, τ denotes the period of the motion—that is, the time taken by one
complete cycle of the motion.

Short Circuit Torque (SCT)
The motor short circuit torque, when provided by the machine manufacturer, should be considered in the
structural design. The torque, which is not a normal occurrence, is a very short-duration loading, and occurs as a
result of a fault within the electrical circuit of the machines. The short circuit torque should not be combined
with wind or earthquake. ACI 351.3R Sec. 3.2.1.5

Impedance (Stiffness and Damping)
Calculation Procedure to Determine Impedance Provided by Supporting Media
1. Calculate Initial Impedance
2. Incorporate Material Damping into Initial Impedance
3. Add Embedment Effects to Adjusted Impedance
4. Reduce Damping Ratio (20%, 50%, and 12% for horizontal, vertical, and torsional motions)
5. Calculate Amplitudes (or Perform Analysis to Find Amplitudes)
55. 55
Impedance (Stiffness and Damping)
The complex domain impedance is easier to describe mathematically and is applied in the impedance models
of Veletsos and others (Veletsos and Nair 1974; Veletsos and Verbic 1973; Veletsos and Wei 1971).
Relationship between impedance models and damped stiffness models
(ki and ci are calculated assuming perfect elasticity, and ci includes only geometric damping).

56. 56
Impedance (Stiffness and Damping)
Material Damping
An approximate approach often used to account for material damping multiplies the complex impedance,
evaluated without regard to material damping, by the complex factor (1+ i2βm) to determine an adjusted
complex impedance
Where, βm = material damping ratio of the soil, and other
terms are as previously defined.
57. 57
Impedance (Stiffness and Damping)
Embedment Effects
Embedment increases both stiffness and damping, but the increase in damping is more significant.
The lack of confining pressure at the surface often leads to separation of the soil from the foundation and to the
creation of a gap as indicated on Fig. 4.5
To find an approximate correction for this effect, the engineer
should consider an effective embedment depth less than the
true embedment.
59. 59
Impedance (Stiffness and Damping)
Adjustments to Theoretical Values
Damping values for large foundations undergoing small vibration amplitudes are typically less than those
analytically predicted values (EPRI 1980; Novak 1970).
EPRI 1980 recommends the soil damping ratio for use in the design of power plant fan foundations should not
exceed 20% for horizontal motion, 50% for vertical motion, 10% for transverse rocking motion, and 15% for axial
and torsional motions.
German DIN 4024 recommends that the soil damping ratios used in vibration analysis of rigid block foundations
should not exceed 25%.
Novak (1970) recommends reducing the analytically determined geometric damping ratios (from elastic half-
space models) by 50% for a dynamic analysis of the foundation.

Dynamic Analysis Using STAAD.Pro
Mass Modeling
Even if the loading is known to be only in one direction there is usually mass motion in other
directions at some or all joints and these mass directions (applied as loads, in weight units)
must be entered to be correct.
Masses should be entered in global directions with the same sign as much as possible so that
the representative masses do not cancel each other.
STAAD uses a diagonal mass matrix of six lumped mass equations per joint. The selfweight or
uniformly loaded member is lumped 50% to each end joint without rotational mass
moments of inertia. The other element types are integrated but—roughly speaking—the
weight is distributed equally amongst the joints of the element.
63. 63
Dynamic Analysis Using STAAD.Pro
Damping Modeling
Composite modal damping permits
computing the damping of a mode from
the different damping ratios for different
materials (steel, concrete, soil). Modes
that deform mostly the steel would have
steel damping ratio, whereas modes that
mostly deform the soil, would have the
soil damping ratio.
Composite modal damping is based on a weighted average of strain
energies in each material.
64. 64
For more convenient design using STAAD program, the "modal
response spectrum analysis" is selected for the structural analysis.
The base shear based on ELF (and T = Ta Cu) should be calculated
to check if the computed from modal analysis is less than 85% of
the ELF base shear.
Multiply spectral accelerations by modal participation factor and by
(I/R)

Rebar Arrangement (Column and Beam)
Excessive reinforcement can create constructibility and quality problems and should be avoided.
Some firms specify a minimum reinforcing of 3.1 lbf/ft3 (50 kg/m3 or 0.64%) for piers (machine
support edestals) and 1.9 lbf/ft3 (30 kg/m3 or 0.38%) for foundation slabs. For compressor
blocks, some firms suggest 1% reinforcing by volume and may post-tension the block.
