wind or earthquake loads. Corrosion allowance of 1/8" on the bolt diameter is required. No live
load shall be included when designing anchor bolts or checking for overturning.
C. Combined Footings
Combined footings shall be so designed that the resultant of all normal long term operating loads placed
thereon coincide with the center of gravity of the footing.
1. It is allowed to assume that the soil underlying the foundations does not have inertia but
only elastic properties.
2. Massive foundations may be considered to lack elastic properties but frame or slab
foundations shall be assumed to have both inertial and elastic properties.

distributed load under 250 kg/m2, may be supported directly on the deck.
2. In-line pumps with motor drives not exceeding 75HP may be supported directly by
suction and discharge piping, with distance between pump flange and pipe support
centerline not to exceed 1 1/2 times the pipe diameter.
Pedestal type supports are required for pumps with motor drives of 75HP to 100HP,
those with turbine drives and in all cases where there is a gear between drive and
pump. The pump vendor shall supply a base flange for bolting to the pedestal.

F. Vibration
1. The design of soil bearing foundations supporting vibrating equipment shall consider all
unbalanced forces and moments so as to avoid resonance. The magnitude of the unbalanced
force shall be determined by the equipment supplier. The design shall provide a minimum
foundation to equipment weight ratio of:
2. Interaction between foundations close to each other under dynamic loads, shall be prevented or
reduced to negligible terms.
3. In those cases of foundations for rotary equipment, reciprocating engines or machines producing
impact loads, a limit for the permissible values of vibration amplitudes has to be established by
the Designer according to proved theory and information from manufacturer.
4. Permissible values refers to translational (both directions), vertical and rotational (either plane:
rocking, tilting and torsion) displacements.
7. Machinery shall operate at least in smooth range of vibration according to severity chart, that is
it must operate between 0.25 and 0.5 mm/sec. The Root Mean Square, or RMS of velocities
corresponding to different frequencies of foundation will agree with the Mechanical Design
Criteria and its Requirements.
8. In obtaining the RMS of velocities, it must use the actual coupled frequencies of machinery.
9. Through symmetric design of foundations the Designer must try to prevent torsion and
uncoupled displacements from rotation.

G. Foundation Loads
1. Foundations shall be designed to carry all loads from equipment or the structure. Required
loading on foundations shall be obtained from Engineering Standards EI-003 “Design Loading
for Equipment, Structures, Buildings and Foundations” and EI-004 : “Wind, Earthquake and

2. Then it is not allowed to calculate the foundations with reactions obtained from a less stringent
seismic spectrum different from that used for the correspondent structure.
H. Stability
Soil bearing foundations shall be designed to conform to the following minimum factor of safety (F.S.)
requirements under the most critical loading conditions:
1. Stability against overturning, defined as the ratio of righting moment to overturning moment:
a. For square or rectangular footings about the longer side, the factor of safety shall be a
minimum of 1.5 for erection, and 1.8 for operation and test.
b. For octagonal or round footings, about side of octagon, the factor of safety shall be a
minimum of 1.7 for erection, and 2.1 for operation and test.
The above factors of safety provide for a minimum area of footing under compression
of 50% for erection, and 80% for operation and test.
2. Stability against uplift shall have a factor of safety of 1.5. The factor of safety shall be
calculated as the minimum downward column load plus weight of foundation divided by the
total uplift force. The effect of buoyancy shall be considered when the ground water level is
expected to be above the bottom of the foundation.
3. The factor of safety against sliding, for retaining walls and similar structures, shall be 1.5
minimum.
