Slab check for vibration
Slab check for vibration
(OP)
Hi everyone,
Currently assigned to check the capacity of a steel structure where a new fan (weight of fan = 2100lb, engine = 750lb, pulley guard = 500lb, unit basis = 850lb)will be installed.
What are the main steps for the check.
Any tips is appreciated

Yes I did (found :Checks for frequency and acceleration)but still confused because it is the first time to deal with kind of checks where not all the fan weight will cause the vibration.

It is the case where a vibrating machine (7'x7') will be installed on greeding floor supported by beams and girders.
I have to check for the capacity of the structure.

For you particular project as you can see we will need a lot more information starting at the frequencies of all parts of the model, natural of the supporting structure and forcing of the equipment.

The provided data is the weight of the equipments as size as given above. Also the 1120 rpm for the fun.
