Support design

(OP)
Hello every body,

I have to design a support for an agitator.

agitator mounting : Beam mounting

Load: Static vertical force and dynamic bending and torque load

any reference book (or software) which contain calculation example can help me.

RE: Support design

I recommend Blodgett for the structural. Dynamics? Paz wrote well on this subject.
I wrote a Basic program for vibrating machine foundations once. But I guess Basic is gone.

RE: Support design

That's pretty basic Strength of Materials stuff.
Typically, the dynamic loads are actually given as equivalent static loads, so the problem is a static problem, not a vibration/dynamics problem.
Typically, the vibration is addressed by specifying maximum deflections with the stated load.

RE: Support design

(OP)
any specific standard?

ASME,API,...

RE: Support design

In the US, we'd use the AISC code for structural steel for buildings (same as for roof structure, see 5.10.3.1).) I assume elsewhere, the local governing codes for steel construction could be used. Check if the mixer loads are service-level or strength-level and coordinate with the steel code.
