Compressor Foundation

[Engr ZANIA]

HI!!
I have dynamically designed a block foundation for compressor, there are four compressors in close proximity. Please suggest any code or authentic ref to check and analyze the vibrations transmittance through soil between the compressors and at what distance should i place these machines safely.

Is this a recip?

Done Google search.

This seems good material/documentation for single machine:

Then I found this document for transmission through soil:

If you plan an escape, you must succeed as if you fail, you will be punished for trying. Never say or write down your plan. Heart is the only place where secrecy is granted.
