Guides for design of turbine generator design?
(OP)
Are there any good books or guides for the design of a turbine generator pedestals for simple and combined cycle plants? I have found some decent (but not great) guidance for the design of concrete pedestals but nothing for steel or spring supported turbine foundations. Maybe the smart folks here at eng-tips know of something?

But it's important to know what size you're talking about. When you say a combined cycle power plant I'm thinking something over 300 megawatts. And there's no way they hand that to a guy (or gal) who expects to find design in a book. It's very hands on, generation to generation designs.
Now if it's something that's the size of a flatbed built by a manufacturer like Caterpillar and about 20 megawatts, that's different. Still no book, it usually is just a chunk of concrete that weighs three times the mass of the generator.
