Total area of compressor shed = 16m X 15m.

There are 2 compressors in the Shed.

Area of one compressor = 8.5m X 5.5m

Total Depth of Foundation for compressor = 3.1m

Weight of machine = 500 KN

Density of Concrete = 25KN/m3

Dead load of one compressor foundation = 8.5 X 5.5 X 3.1 X 25 = 3625 KN

Total weight of compressor = 500+3625 = 4125 KN = 412.5 Tonnes

Say 450 Tonnes

Distributed weight = 450/(8.5X5.5) = 9.6 Tonnes/m2.
