Block Type Machine Foundation Design by Barkan's Method: 1. Available Data

The document summarizes the steps to design a machine foundation using Barkan's method. It provides the dimensions and specifications of the machine and soil. It then calculates the natural frequency, operational frequency, frequency ratio, maximum vibration amplitude, and base pressure. It determines that the natural frequency is sufficiently different than the operating frequency, the amplitude is within tolerable limits, and the base pressure does not exceed half the static soil bearing capacity. Therefore, the footing design is adequate based on Barkan's method of analysis.

2. Check for Resonance:


Natural frequency, fn = (1/2)(cuLfBf/M)
where, cu =

200

q=

fn =

67.34

rpm

And, operational frequency, fm =

24.17

Hz

50000

Frequency ratio, r = fm/fn


= 0.36
Natural frequency is sufficiently away from the operating frequency. revise the size of footing
3. Check for Maximum Amplitude:
az = Q0/cuLfBf(1-r2)
=

0.06

mm

The amplitude of vibration is within the tolerable limits


4. Check for Base Pressure:
qb = M/LfBf
=
2.76
KN/m2
The base pressure does not exceeds the dynamic bearing capacity i.e. half the static allowable soil pressure.
