base isolation of slab
base isolation of slab
(OP)
Hi All,
I am working on a project in which the client wants to put a high sensitive equipment in a ground floor of the building. they have conducted a vibration survey and the current vibration levels are higher then the acceptable levels established by the equip manufacturer. The current foundation system is slab , grade beam and pile system .
we are planning to cut the slab and pour a new foundation supported by helical piers. This will isolate the foundation for the equipment from the main foundation system .
what are your thoughts on this idea ? Please feel free to suggest new idead to reduce the vibration.
