Support design

[mohammad1367]

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.

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.

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.

any specific standard?

ASME,API,...

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.
