design metal frame for fan and motor 2

[hello2006]

Hello everybody!

Would you please tell me what book is good to learn about metal frame design?

I am trying to design a metal frame base for fan and motor. I am thinking if there is a book which describes the common rules or steps for designing metal frame. After I learn this, I can not only design base for fan and motor, but also design other metal frame by following the similar method.

Thank you very much for your any clue!

Regards

Mason industries (vibration mounts) has a scanned version of a presentation made at an ASHRAE conference in the last millenium. It talks about independent bases of machinery on isolators (and a lot of other key stuff about machines on floors above grade).

As I recall beam depth 1/10 base length, filled with concrete partly to provide large torsional stiffness. If I did not need or want the base weight Equivelent torsional stiffness could be achieved with a little carefully placed steel.

You might find some useful information in Blodgett's two books "Design of Weldments" & "Design of Welded Structures".In the past these two books were available through The James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation.
