4 ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES AND FOUNDATIONS

4.1 DYNAMIC ANALYSIS

Structures and foundations supporting vibratory or rotating plant or equipment shall be analyzed for dynamic
response. Impact factors are not to be applied to loads when structures are analyzed for dynamic response.
In simple structures the natural frequency of members supporting vibrating or rotating equipment shall be
compared with the exciting frequencies imparted by the equipment. The natural frequency of the supporting
members and foundations shall be either greater than 1.5 times or less than 0.5 times the exciting frequency
(also refer to section 7.4). Frequency calculations should be based on normal' operating conditions (I.e.
excluding blocked chute and the like).

The predicted vibration levels at any point of a structure supporting· vibrating machinery should not exceed a
velocity of 5.5 mm/second peak within an operating range +/-15% of the specified machine frequency. The
maximum absolute deflection of any concrete foundation supporting vibrating machinery should not exceed
200 microns within the operating frequency range in accordance with CP2012.

Structural vibration shall be limited such that a minimum exposure time of 8 hours for “fatigue decreased
proficiency” is available on operating floors, and 10 hours for 'reduced comfort' in control rooms, in accordance
with AS 2670.1-1990. In the immediate vicinity of items such as vibrating screens where operators do not
normally remain for any length of time, the minimum exposure time may be reduced to 25 minutes.

Control rooms 10 hours reduced comfort 2

0.089 m/s

Operating floors 8 hours fatigue-decreased proficiency 2

0.315 m/s

Near vibrating plant 25 minutes fatigue-decreased proficiency 1.80 m/s2

4.2 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

lt is expected that structural analysis in general will be carried out using company registered computer
programs. Where computer programs output actual member sizes, these member sizes shall be checked for
suitability in regard to deflection and stiffness.

4.3 SEISMIC ANALYSIS

Structures and equipment supports shall satisfy the SNI seismic analysis and design requirements of SNI
1726-2012 unless noted otherwise. Generally, this will require an assessment of the dynamic response of the
structure to a seismic loading spectrum for the maximum design earthquake. Simple, regular structures may
be assessed based upon their natural frequency and material ductility using the design rules in this code. More
complex, irregular structures will require a response spectrum analysis to confirm structural adequacy.

of the maximum static values unless the static values and the overall combined values are quite small.

The factors of safety for footing stability for plant structures shall be in accordance with the requirements of AS
1170.0.

Blinding concrete may be used in the base of footings, as required by site conditions.

It is expected that the long term settlement for footings designed primarily to sustain full dead and live load on
a continuous basis, will be a maximum of 30 mm. However, depending on the likelihood of the full live load
being achieved, a more probable settlement would be 20 mm.

5.5 BASE PLATE GROUTING AND PEDESTAL

Equipment support frames and structural columns shall be mounted on reinforced concrete pedestals with the
tops of the pedestals a minimum of 200 mm above finished surface level of concrete slabs.

Grout thickness under baseplates shall be nominally 30 mm. Grout thickness shall be appropriate to the type
of grout used.

Grout used shall be for subject to acidic process spills (where concrete protection and stainless HD bolts are
used) and select from material compatible with the acid concrete protection.

Bearing stresses under baseplates shall be limited to those values given in Appendix D SNI 2847 or AS 3600
Clause 12.3 The preferred methods of transferring shear loads from baseplates to concrete are:

a) For major columns and shear loads:

i) Friction between base plate and concrete using a friction coefficient of 0.45 plus half the shear
capacity of the HD bolts (this assumes that only half the bolts are in contact with the base plate).
ii) Keys to be used only where the capacity in (i) is not adequate.
b) For minor columns- such as wind posts
i) Use half the HD bolt shear capacities (this assumes that only half the bolts are in contact with the
base plate).

Pedestals to all footings shall be rectangular unless agreed otherwise by the Lead structural engineer.

Where specified, pedestals shall be provided with a cast in conduit for the electrical earth bond cable
connection to steelwork. The conduit shall be PVC 32 mm diameter fitted with a long radius bend.

intersection of floor beams or braces. These splices shall be bolted and prepared for full contact.

Beam splices shall be fully bolted and preferably located at a position of minimum moment. This does not
preclude the use of bolted beam-column connections carrying full moment, but comprehensive calculations of
bolts, prying forces, end plate and flange strength in bending, and the necessary stiffeners that are required
for such moment connections.

7 DESIGN OF FOUNDATION AND STURCTURE FOR

SUPPORTING DYNAMIC LOADS

7.1 SCOPE
Structures considered dynamically loaded are structures which support vibrating screens, crushers, ball mills,
rod mills, vibrating feeders, agitators, motors, pumps, compressors, engines etc.

The design criteria below applies to both individual elements supporting a vibrating machine and complete
building structures containing vibrating machinery.

7.2 DESIGN METHODOLOGY

The preferred dynamic design method is to support vibrating equipment on independent structures that
comprise the shortest load path to the foundation level. This vibration isolation technique results in an
economic arrangement of small members in the global surrounding structure and heavy members locally
supporting the vibrating equipment.

The structures supporting vibrating equipment are to be initially sized using quasi static design procedures.
This is to be followed by detail dynamic design to check for global and local member dynamic stability and to
carry out fine tuning of members to frequencies higher or lower than resonance to achieve economy of
structure.

7.3 VALIDATION OF VENDOR DATA

The following information about the machine to be supported shall be obtained from the manufacturer prior to
commencement of design:

a) Weight of machine and ancillary equipment

b) Speed of the machine
c) Position of CG in the three major planes
d) Out of balance forces and moments at the primary and secondary speeds
e) The line of action of the out-of-balance forces
f) Vendors damping devices

This information is to be validated by the Structural Dynamics Engineer prior to design proceeding.

7.4 PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF DYNAMICALLY LOADED STRUCTURE

The layout of all structural steel support members in dynamically loaded structures shall be approved by the
Lead Structural Engineer prior to engineering design work commencing.

For initial sizing of structural steel elements the following impact factors shall be applied to the operating mass
of the equipment. This quasi static equipment load shall then be added to the other loads as outlined in section
2.1.

Alternatively, equipment vendors may specify a dynamic load which must be clarified and confirmed before
analysis proceeds. In addition to this the dynamic response of elements should be checked when final
equipment and vendor data is available.

a) Over-tuned Structures (Preferred)

The following tables provides ratios between frequency of member and frequency of machine. Structural
supports shall be so proportioned to be over-tuned such that objectionable vibrations of the supports and other
parts of the structure cannot take place. Particular care shall be taken with vibrating equipment which has a
forcing frequency range of 4 to 8 hertz. Refer AS 2670.

Length of Beam Type of Supports No. of Times Frequency of Beams to be more

Not over 5 m Directly connected to column 1.5

Over 5 m Directly connected to column 2.0

Not over 5 m Not directly connected to column 2.0

Over 5 m Not directly connected to column 2.5

N.B. Beam spans should be kept to a minimum when beams are supporting vibrating equipment.

b) Under-tuned Low Tuned Structures

When the support structure natural frequency is below the driving frequency, resonance can occur momentarily
during start up and for longer periods during shut down of if the machinery is operated below its nominal or
peak speed. Low tuned structures shall be generally avoided and only used after obtaining consent from the
Supervising Structural Engineer.

The purpose of the follow up detailed dynamic analysis using proprietary software will be to reduce the dynamic
stability factors were judged appropriate.

7.5 FINAL DESIGN OF DYNAMICALLY LOADED STRUCTURE

After completion of preliminary dynamic design the resulting calculations shall be verified by the Lead
Structural Engineer.

Prior to commencement of the development of a 3D “Staad Pro” model of a dynamically loaded structure the
Structural Design Engineer shall to consult with the Lead Structural Engineer to ensure computability between
the “Staad Pro” model and final “ANSYS” dynamic model.

7.6 PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF DYNAMICALLY LOADED FOUNDATION

a) Centrifugal Machinery Footings
Machinery footings for centrifugal machinery will be initially sized to weigh 3 times as much as the
machine.
b) Reciprocating Machinery Footings
Machinery footings for reciprocating machinery will be initially sized to weigh 5 times as much as the
machine.
c) Detailed Dynamic Design of Footings
Such analyses will be carried out by the Structural Dynamics Engineer using proprietary analysis
programs and the guidelines of either:
 CP 2012 'Foundations for Machinery'
 Foundation Engineering Handbook by H Winterkorn and H Fang
 Foundations for reciprocating machines by Irish and Walker

7.7 FOOTING DYNAMIC STABILITY FACTOR

The following gives the required relation between equipment forcing frequency (fd) and natural frequency (fn)
of combined equipment and footing to avoid resonance.

Normal Operating Frequency of Machine Natural Frequency of Footing, Machine and

(Cycles per Minute) Subgrade

300 and smaller 2 fd or larger

300 to 1000 2 fd or larger

1000 and larger 0.5 fd or smaller

All dynamically loaded concrete footings shall be checked by the Lead Structural Engineer.
