Block Foundation

This document provides specifications for designing a block foundation for a compressor room. It includes parameters like the area and weight of the foundation, soil properties, machine properties, and calculations for natural frequency, stress levels, reinforcement requirements, and other design details. The foundation is designed to have a length of 2m, width of 1.5m, and thickness of 1m to support a compressor skid weighing 3650kg without exceeding the soil's bearing capacity of 20 tonnes/m^2. Reinforcement bar sizes and spacing are specified to control stresses within allowable limits.
