Slab Design for pump station
Slab Design for pump station
(OP)
Hi Fellows
I am designing a slab for a pump station. I am considering the anchor depth and the vibration effect when the pump is operating. I talked with the pump manufacturer, but not much help from them.
I would like to ask how should I deal with the vibration problem in concrete (Say concrete harden).
Thank you for your time

How are you designing the slab? By hand, program, FEA?

I've seen applications of pumps on weak supports that the vibration was a real problem. It was not the pump vibrating, but the frequencies matching. We stiffened up the support and the vibration went away.
Just my $.02
