Emergency Generator Pad
Emergency Generator Pad
(OP)
I am designing the concrete pad support for an Emergency Generator that weighs 50 Kips, footprint say 10ft x20 ft. I understand that the traditional design of a concrete pad without mechanical damping would require a concrete slab about 2 to 3 times the weight of the generator. If there is mechanical damping isolators provided, say, metal springs, what would the design criteria for the design of the concrete slab/pad be. The generator is located in an enclosed plant building. Actually, two generators are side by side, separated by about 10 ft, in the same room. Thanks.
