Founding conditions for high res microscope
(OP)
Does anyone have any advice for the founding conditions for a high resolution electron microscope. We have encountered shallow quartzitic rock in test pits. The conceptual design is to place a 1m thick RC base on 350mm sand. Anything we sould be aware of? How do we determine severity of ground vibrations?

I agree, without confinement, the sand is a no no.
I have no clue about the hardness of the rock he has encountered. However, if it possible to excavate an area larger than the foundation pad, and fill the excavation with sand, or lean clayey material, do you think this might work? Could drainage be an issue?
